Introduction

The earliest known Tyler ancestor, Laurence of Cranbrook, County Kent, England, made his will there on 10 January 1663. In it he mentioned his son Job, "now in New England". Job was one of the earliest settlers of Andover, Essex County, Massachusetts. The family remained in Essex County for several generations, then, in the early 1800s, one branch moved to Grafton County, New Hampshire. Many members of the next generation went west to Van Buren County, Michigan. Some stayed there, others moved on yet again.
