Birth: Feb. 26, 1694/5, in Mendon, MA, s/o Samuel and Hanah.[1]
Marriage: Dec. 19, 1717 in Attleborough, MA.[2]

"CAPTAIN SAMUEL TYLER married, December 19, 1719, Mary Capron, born 1696; died January 26, 1780; daughter of Banfield Capron. April 9, 1757, he was Captain of the First company (" South Town ") of the Attleboro train band (Mass. Archives). He was selectman of Attleboro, 1724, 1728, 1732, 1737, 1738, 1739, 1747, 1748, 1749, 1750, 1751, 1753, and representative to the General Court, 1737, 1745, 1747, 1748, 1749. His will was dated May 16, 1759, and probated June 11, 1759. He was far the most important early Tyler of the locality. In 1707 (aged but 12), he is on record as sharing, No. 9, in fifth division of Mendon lands; probably, however, it is the estate of his father (also named "Samuel"). June 13, 1715, for £100, he acquired land of Matthew Short. His line is distinguished for its military vigor: all his three sons becoming Revolutionary veterans, one being a lieutenant, and another major-general of militia; five of his grandsons also served in the Revolution, thus making eight all told, from this immediate family, of the ten Tylers furnished by the town to that cause."[4]

Tyler-3792 and Tyler-182 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate wives are a close match. Dates on Tyler-3792 aren't helpful and there's no other connections. Same man.
