    3. Dear list, Earlier this year I learned that Sarah TYLER was the daughter of William TYLER and Letty GEORGE who were married 15 August 1774 in Loudoun Co., VA. New information tells us that Sally TYLER was born 20 September 1777. [The tombstone inscription at Fillmore Cemetery has her born 1771* . This earlier date was a problem because it had Sally born before the marriage and posed the question whether Sally was a daughter of Letty or a previous spouse. ] Her birth was verified from records in family Bibles or other written data beginning with the birth of William Tyler, Sr. ---and then it goes on to name the children of William and Letty saying that the information came from a J. Z. Tyler in March of 1889 and in converstion with Benj G. Tyler, youngest brother of John W. Tyler and from later notes of J. Z. Tyler at Dayton O., in Sept 1893. This family history was published privately in a book written in 1908 to honor the 100th birthday of John W. TYLER (27 September 1807- 1888), Sally's nephew. Other information about Sally can be found in the "Biographical and Historical Record of Putnam County, Indiana," The Lewis Pub. Co., Chic., 1887, repr. 1975, The Bookmark, P. O. Box 74, Knightstown, Ind., p. 364. Pat Bishop Obrist
