This representative family has its roots deep in the colonial soil of New England, Virginia, New Jersey and Maryland, and all the numerous branches are supposed to have an English origin. Representatives of the Tyler family were in nearly every one of the original thirteen States at the time of the formation of the Union. In the early wars, in the War of the Revolution and in the War of 1812 they were conspicuous, and in the Civil War some of their achievements were brilliant. Socially, the Tylers have reached " from the White House to the poor-house." Were their deeds stricken from the annals of our country the loss would be appreciable. There were several immigrant ancestors of the Tylers and therefore a number of independent lines. In detail, this history treats only of the New England lines, but a brief outline follows herewith of the numerous branches in America. Chronologically, the first record we have seen of Tylers in America, occurs in Camden Hotten's excellent book (based upon English Admiralty reports), which contains lists of emigrants to America between 1600 and 1700. It appears therefrom, that William Tyler, and his wife Elizabeth, set sail from England for Virginia, in 1620, on the ship Francis Bona- venture. He was a person of property; for, in 1622, he brought over, on the ships Providence and Hopewell, the fol- " " lowing six servants : Robart More," aged 50 ; Wm. Broune," aged 26; "Robert Hodd," aged 20; " Anthonie Burt," aged " " 18 ; Samiell Bennett," aged 40, and Joane Bennett." In another entry in the said volume (in a list of " Living in Va., 16 Feb., 1623"), we find the said William and Elizabeth Tyler are at " Hogg Island." (This island is a little down the James River from Jamestown, the first English-American settlement, 1607.) It would seem that these parties intended permanent residence; yet, strange to say, not a jot of evidence has been iii : iv INTRODUCTION found to show that they ever had descendants. Regretfully as we admit it, it seems impossible to learn anything further of this pair; who were, probably, the very first bearing the name Tyler, that had courage to seek remote and perilous shores of a literally " New World." From the number of Tylers early found settled on the Chesa- peake, we are inclined to an hypothesis ; that they (at least some of them) had a common cis-Atlantic ancestor (presumably, the above William Tyler). Conclusive evidence of such genealogic links, however, is (and probably will always remain) wanting. Existing records point to three VIRGINIA TYLER BRANCHES (1). YORK COUNTY BRANCH ; founded by Henry Tyler, bom in England in 1604, came to Virginia by 164(5 ; where, in 1652, he had a grant of 254 acres at "Middle Plantation." This is the line of John Tyler, President of the United States. (2). WESTMORELAND COUNTY BRANCH; founded by Charles Tyler, about 1690; who died about 1723, leaving four sons. (3). ESSEX COUNTY BRANCH; founded by Richard Tyler, about 1690; who was licensed, in 1723, to keep an " ordinary ". and died in 1734, leaving three sons and two daughters. IN BEAUFORT COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA, are found early Tyler records; possibly of a line migrated from Virginia. IN MARYLAND we find several early Tylers domiciled; between whom appears no record of relationship: (1). Edward Tyler was brought over in 1657 by John Wag- hop ; but no land grant or settlement of his estate is found. (2). Robert Tyler was brought over in 1649 by Henry Cat- lin will ; and was probated in Calvert Co., in 1674 ; he left an only son, who resided at " Brough," Prince George Co., on Patuxent River. (3). John Tyler settled on Smith's Island, Somerset Co., before 1700 ; who, by two marriages, left five sons. Will pro- bated 1733. INTRODUCTION v (4). William Tyler, of Pomonkey, Charles Co., leaves a will in 1755 ; which mentions a son and two daughters. (5). The will of Edmund Tyler of " Bohemia Manor," Cecil County, 1738, mentions three sons. Near SALEM, N. J., on AUoway's Creek, about 1688, Wil- liam Tyler, Quaker, from Greinton, Somerset County, England, settled. Descendants known as " THE SALEM, N. J. LINE." In CONNECTICUT we find several early clansmen who may have been closely related. (1). Roger Tyler (previously in Massachusetts), leaves an inventory of an estate in New Haven in 1673. It has been thought by some that he was the progenitor of the " Branford " Tylers, but proof is lacking. (2). In BRANFORD, CONN., four brothers, George, Peter, Francis and Charles appear on the records about 1667 and their descendants are called " THE. BRANFORD LINE." (3). William Tyler took the "Oath of FidelHtie" in New Haven in 1657, and his descendants are known as " THE WALLINGFORD LINE." In RHODE ISLAND John Tyler was in Portsmouth as early as 1655. The branch is known as "THE RHODE ISLAND LINE." In PROVIDENCE, R. L, "Widow Joan Tiler" appears as early as 1638, where she shared in Roger Williams' tract. The MASSACHUSETTS BAY COLONY furnished a sur- prisingly large number of original immigrants of the Tyler name, some of whom have left descendants who have been traced. In and about Boston we find the following: (1). John Tyler, shopkeeper in Charlestown by 1696. He had a son John, born in 1696. The father died in Carolina. If there are latter-day descendants they are thus far untraced. (2). Thomas Tyler was of Boston before 1685. His de- scendants are known as " THE THOMAS TYLER BOSTON LINE." (3). William Tyler, a ropemaker, was in Boston in 1784. VI INTRODUCTION His descendants are known as " THE WILLIAM TYLER BOSTON LINE." (4<). Mrs. Ann Tyler, widow of John Tyler, died in Boston, April 30, 1694, aged 40 years and was buried in the Granary burying-ground on Tremont street, where her stone may still be seen. It is probably the oldest American Tyler grave-stone. In ESSEX COUNTY, MASS., we find the following: (1). Job Tyler, in Andover, about 1640. His descendants, comprising by far the larger part of this History, are known as « THE JOB TYLER LINE." (2). Abraham Tyler, in Haverhill, by 1640. Left no de- scendants, but his record, will and inventory are given herein. (3). Nathaniel Tyler, of Lynn. Mass., by 1640. No record of descendants. (4). John Tyler, of Gloucester. Descendants known as « THE GLOUCESTER LINE." (5). Roger Tyler, of Lynn. The same man who is mentioned under " Connecticut." In MAINE a man named Thomas Taylor settled in Bowdoin- ham and changed his name to Tyler. He has living descend- ants known as " THE BOWDOINHAM LINE." In CANADA Captain Isaac Bartholomew Tyler was found by 1790, and later settled in Lewiston, Niagara County, N. Y. Abraham, Nathaniel and Job are all heard of, among the first settlers of their respective neighborhoods, about the year 1640. This fact suggests possible relationships. The only corrobora- _tive evidence (if we may thus dignify so remote facts) lies in the recollection that Moses, son of Job, had sons " Joseph " and " Nathaniel " (both of whom died s. p.). The immigrant, Nathaniel, had an only " son Joseph "—and Moses had also a son " James." whose son " Abraham " brought in some later generations by that name. We do not lean heavily upon such hypothesis ; having learned, after strenuous labors, much to distrust general record-suggestions, as well as vague traditions. So, having raised the question (unanswerable), we pass on the well-trodden path. INTRODUCTION vii Though two of the above first settlers touched but briefly our colonial history, we give the records found. ABRAHAM TYLER, was in Haverhill, Mass., in 1640 ; died May 6, 1673 ; married, December 2G, 1650, Hannah Freeman. " Chase's History of Haverhill says : The first company of settlers in the wild woods of Pentucket [Haverhill] were from Ipswich and Newbury, and were twelve in number." He places the year at 1640 ; Cotton Mather says, 1641 ; Winthrop says, about 1643 (Andover being settleJ at this same period). What- ever the date, Abraham Tyler, with three others, from Ipswich, and eight from Newbury, came " in June " to remain. In 1645 Abraham was _one of the thirty-two landholders there. In 1648, his valuation is put at £60. June 7, 1652, the Second Division of plough-land was laid out, in the proportion of four acres to one acre of house-lot ; of the forty-one sharers, Abra- ham (No. 5) had four acres. [Thomas Whittier, probably an ancestor of the poet, had 7^ acres.] September 7th of the same year, the town voted, that Abraham should blow his horn to call the people to meeting, and receive one peck of com from every family for the year ensuing. (Early historians adver- tised the stipend as " a pound of pork." But careful Mirick says, a " close " inspection of the records reads, beyond doubt, a " peck of com.") At the May, 1653, session of the General Court, we find Abraham's name on a petition, praying for a revocation of previous sentence, passed upon one Pike of Salis- bury, who had been heavily finev.

Buffalo, Bawoli Gród, opodal słynnego wodospadu Niagary, stał się stolicą biskupią w tym samym r. 1847., co Cleveland. Pierwszym, co zasiadł na tej stolicy, był (1847—G7) Jan Timon; drugim (1868— 96) Stefan Ryan, trzecim zaś od r. 1897—03 był Jakób Quigley. Jego dyecezya obejmuje zachodni cypel Stanu New York, nad kończynami Jezior Erie i Ontario, a na 156,000 katolików liczy 98,300 Polaków, na 215 księży 36 polskich, na 142 kościoły— 21 polskich. W samem mieście Buffalo jest 50 kościołów parafialnych katolickich, między temi 14 angielskich i 14 niemieckich, 7 polskich, l włoski i l francuski. Jest więc prawie tyle kościołów katolickich, co w miastach Cleveland i Plttsburgu, nie ma tylko w Buffalo tak wielkiej mieszaniny narodowości. Polacy liczebnie tu są we większości. Wspołzałożycielem miasta Buffalo był Polak, Jan Stadnicki. Około roku 1786 pewną, część tych ziem nabyli na własność kapitaliści holenderscy, a dołączywszy do nich pas ziemi położony nad jeziorem Erie, a zakupiony od Indyan, poczęli ziemie te kolonizować. Do spółki kapitalistów holenderskich należało, jak to wykazują archiwa stanowe w Albany, stolicy stanu New York, sześciu przedsiębiorców: Wilhelm Willink, Nicholas Van Staphorst, Christian Van Eeger, Jan i Piotr Stadnitski. Spółka ta istniała aż do końca pierwszej połowy 19 wieku i znana jest w historyi miasta Buffalo i York pod nazwa Holland Land Co. Towarzystwo Holland Land Co., nabywszy około r. 1790. grunta położone w zachodniej części stanu New York, przystąpiło do ich parcelacyi i kolonizacyi, a zakupiwszy od Indyan szczepu Seneca, ziemie położone nad jeziorem Erie, założyło w miejscu, w którem już poprzednio istniała osada indyańska, wioskę nazwaną, podobnie jak dzisiejsze miasto New York, Nowym Amsterdamem.
