William Clanville Tyler, in whose honor Tylertown was named. Tyler was a Boston Yankee born on Copps Hill in the year 1804. His father was named Abraham Tyler who, when William was three years old, moved to Andover, Massachusetts. Like many other New Englanders, he cut loose from his moorings and moved South when he had reached the age of thirty-three years. The presumption is his parents had died. And he had no family ties to hold to his home.
Besides his training as a mechanic, he had become a sailor, and we have the impression that he had sailed with his ship during the servere winter weather into the warm Gulf Stream and finding the warm breezes to his liking he decided to disembark and his home in the South.
So, after uncertain wanderings, he cast anchor at the home of a blacksmith - planter named Price Connally. (see Price Connally Memorial; Tyler’s law in law)
Mrs W C Tyler’s full name was Mary Lindslley Connally. Her brother, Cosby, used to pay extended visits in the Newton Ball home.
It is a peculiar fact that no descendant of his bearing the Tyler name ever had his home in Tylertown. No Tyler, except William Clanville, has honored our our town with his presence.
It was probably a short time after his marriage that Mr Tyler bought out the Jake Owens property on Dry Creek consisting of a grist mill and gin powered with water, and blacksmith shop. A few hundred yards to the north of his mill he built a dwelling, a very neat and substantial home, where all of their children were born.
When it came time for retirement, he went to live with daughter, Elizabeth and Newton Ball. The Ball farm was about about four miles west of the heart of the Settlement.
Mr and Mrs Ball had established their home there after a tornado had swept their dwelling away here.
Here on their old farm he lived his peaceful life, his wife having died in 1862 and was buried in the old graveyard now called Founders’ Cemetery—where he would join her thirty years later.
It is interesting to note that his hobbies in his old age were the culture of flowers and the manufacture of small cannons which were used to enliven celebrations.
Rev Applewhite remember clearly when I visited with several of his great grandsons seeing at the old home place. He was quite venerable but he went his quite way and enjoyed life until a fall crippled him permanently. He died two years later, his death occurring in 1893, near his eighty-ninth birthday.
