…………………...………….….TYLER McWHORTER………………………………….
Tyler, son to Hugh McWhorter and Kezia Tyler. He was born Dec. 10, 1777, near Warwick, Orange County, New York and given his mother’s name.
Tyler was taken in early childhood to Rockbridge County, Virginia, by his parents and then later to Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, sometime before the 1790 census. He may have married Anna Armstrong in or near Northumberland County, for his eldest child John claimed Pennsylvania as the state of his birth (1799).
A legal document dated Jan. 19, 1803, he had an account with Sir James Pulteney and Lady Bath at Steuben County, New York. In the 1810 census, he is listed as living in the town of Bath, Steuben County, New York.
"By the time of the" War of 1812", he had moved to Warren County, Ohio, where state records show that Aug.11,1812 he enlisted in the Company of Capt. Matthias Corwin Battalion, First Regiment Light Infantry Ohio State Militia, and served from Aug. 11 to Nov. 30, 1812. On these records his name is spelled, "McWhorten". Another document dated Dec. 6, 1816 shows him living in Lebanon, Warren County, Ohio.
Shortly after he moved to Blooming Grove Township, Franklin County, Indiana, (1816) and built and lived in a little log cabin. Here in this little cabin he lived for sometime and later built a little frame house. After the death of his wife Anna (Nov. 9, 1842), Tyler disposed of his property and moved to (the northern part of Indiana) at Marshall County, where his son James and family lived. By the year 1846 he owned land near the Tippecanoe River in Bourbon Township in Marshall County, Indiana. Here he married again and census records of 1850 show that on Sep. 6, 1850 he and wife Mary Ann Plummer, were living in Marshall County, Indiana in a house next to his son James and family. Mary Ann died Aug. 31, 1852. He married a third time to Anna Rose on Dec. 7, 1853 and she married a Smith after Tyler’s death.
Tyler McWhorter died Feb. 22, 1858, “aged 80 years 2 months and 12 days” and is buried in the little Summit Chapel Cemetery, Marshall County, Indiana near the graves of second and third wives, and not far from his son James and family.
