-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Tyler Surname Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2011 06:00:36 -0800 (PST) From: Jay Tyler <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Karen, Hello, my name is James "Jay" Tyler. I live in Vigo County, Indiana. My grandfather, Robert M. Tyler lived in New Market, Indiana until 1935, before he briefly moved to Fountain County after his parents death. Grandpa was a WWII vet and was part of the Darlington Post of the National Guard before the US entry into the war. The Tyler first arrived in Montgomery County between 1860 and 1863. My great (4 times) grand pa Samuel Charles Tyler b. January 15, 1790 in Amherst County, Virginia, d. September 24 1863 in Whitesville, Montgomery, Indiana. He is buried in Finley Chapel, just west of Whitesville. From that point on my line stayed in Montgomery County for the next 70 plus years. The family never left the area living in the Whitesville area, New Market, Crawfordsville and Waynetown areas of the county. I have made many trips to the cemeteries and the library, but recently with so much info available through ancestry it's made my travel trips much fewer. I also have the surnames of Vancleave, Matthewman, Swank, Mahorney, Coons Conners, Abney, Taylor, Stump, Grezesk and many more as branches from my Tyler line. I would love to be available to anyone researching this line. What would it take in order to be involved in aiding those who may be curious and researching Tyler's with Montgomery County ties? Thanks & God Bless, James Robert Tyler "Jay" Terre Haute, In
