Introduction

Abraham Tyler was the son of Ancill (or Ansel) and Mary {Lawson} Tyler of Lunenburg & Lancaster, MA, respectively, and a 5x great-grandson of Job Tyler (Find A Grave Memorial #23159153) known to be in Andover, Massachusetts around 1640. The Tyler families were present in all of the 13 original colonies at the time of the American Revolution. John Tyler, tenth President of the US from 1841 to 1845, was descended from Job's brother, Henry Tyler, making him a first cousin. Abram's first wife, who bore him 7 children, was Elizabeth "Lizzie" Barnard Kendall. Their first daughter, Mary Elizabeth, b. 1837, became the mother of Burton Kendall Wheeler (Find A Grave Memorial #6417360), who in turn went on to become an illustrious US senator from Montana. Senator Wheeler credited his grandfather Tyler for inspiring a career in law and politics. Abram and Lizzie also had a daughter, Lucy, b. 1840, a third daughter, Emma Josephine, b. 1844, a fourth daughter, Ellen Amelia "Ella" b. 1846, a son, Joh"Jonney", b. 1852, a son, Frederick Bates, b. 1854 and a daughter Josephine "Josie" who died as an infant, as did Jonney. Abram's second marriage was to Nancy E. Capen on 29 January 1855 in Leominster, Massachusetts. He and Nancy had four sons and two daughters, but sadly only one daughter, Sarah Louise, would live to adulthood. Abram was known as a prominent citizen of the Feltonville section of Marlborough, who was one of the officers of the first "engine company" in 1842 for the district to deal with fires. Abram and Nancy lived in a Victorian style home overlooking the Assabet River on Park Street, near the center of Hudson, which became a town independent from Marlborough in 1866.
