General Notes: Husband - Calvin Tyler


He was reared on a farm, and followed agricultural pursuits throughout his active years. In 1831 he and his wife moved to Hiram, Portage County, Ohio, where he bought the farm whereon they continued to make their home until 1874, in which year they came to Rouseville, PA, to pass their remaining days with their son, Dr. Tyler. In 1826 they had joined the Baptist Church at Mexico, NY, and soon after moving to Ohio Mr. Tyler with a few other like-minded spirits founded the First Baptist Church of Garrettsville, where he held membership and served as deacon until his removal to Rouseville. Thereafter he was associated with the Baptist Church in that borough until it was disbanded, when he united with the Baptist Church in Oil City, of which he was a faithful member until his death. Originally a Democrat in politics, he became a Republican at the time of Lincoln’s first candidacy, and always supported the ticket afterward, voting at eighteen presidential elections. He was a loyal citizen, personally a man of many excellences of character, and a consistent Christian in his daily walk in life. He and his wife both died at their son’s home in Rouseville. They were the parents of three sons and two daughters. [CAB, 551]


General Notes: Wife - Emma White


She was a descendant of Peregrine White, born Nov. 20, 1620, on the “Mayflower,” while the vessel lay at anchor in Cape Cod harbor, being a son of William and Susanna White. As the first white child born in New England Peregrine White received a grant of two hundred acres of land from the General Court. His father dying during the first winter at Plymouth, his mother married Gov. Edward Winslow (theirs being the first wedding to take place in New England), Peregrine White being thus a half-brother of Josiah Winslow, first native governor of Plymouth Colony. He filled various civil and military offices in the colony, and it is said of him that he “was vigorous and of a comely aspect to the last.” He died in Marshfield, Massachusetts, July 22, 1704.
