Son of Hopestill and Mary Lovett Tyler-
HOPESTILL TYLER, born in Andover, Mass., October 16, 1685; died October 7, 1762; married, January 25, 1709/10, Anna Gates, born about 1685; died March 27, 1766. He lived in Preston, Conn., where his children were born and with his wife was buried there. "All my Land In the township of Preston, with all my housing and shope tols" went to him by his father's will, of which he was a coexecutor. Though he had the tools, he did not seem to take to the "smithing" trade of his senior; contented in working his farm, at least a portion of its surface being sufficiently rocky and stony to need more than ordinary attention.

5) Ruth Tyler, baptized July 30, 1721; not mentioned in father's will of 1754.
6) Timothy Tyler, born Oct. 12, 1723; probably died young.
