  • Descendants of Henry Tyler
    Descendants of Henry Tyler Generation No. 1 1. HENRY1 TYLER was born Abt. 1620 in Shropshire, England, and died Abt. 1672 in York County,VA. He married (1) MARY in England. She was born Abt. 1615 in England, and died Abt. 1653. He married (2) ANNE ARMSTEAD ORCHARD Abt. 1658. She was born Abt. 1628 in England, and died April 2, 1679 in York County,VA. Notes for HENRY TYLER: Henry Tyler of Shropshire, England was one of three brothers who settled in VA, MA, and CN. Henry, settled in Charles City, VA in 1652. In Vol. III, of the Virginia Land Register is the record of a Patent in Henry Tylers name dated Jan 7, 1652, locating 254 acres in Middle plantation, VA, due to him by and for transporting to this colony six persons. Henry is a descendant of Wat Tyler, according to G.C. Greer in his "Early Virginia Immigrants". At June Court 1672, Ann Tyler his relic, (Henry), entered a record of Deed of Gift disposing of her separate estate among her three sons, Henry, John and Daniel. There were no heirs by his first wife Mary. The three children of Henry and Anne went on to have many descendants: Henry Tyler stayed in VA and his line is the 10th President John Tyler's line. John Tyler the second son of Henry and Anne moved to Hanover, VA and his line of descendants migrated to North Carolina and later to South Carolina.
