He did not die on 17 March 1663, but rather was buried on that date. His will was apparently proven on 14 March 1663, so he must have died within the day of or immediately before the 14th.
Although sources state that he was born/baptized in Cranbrook, no birth or baptismal record is found in the Cranbrook parish registers (baptisms, 1559-1658; FHL microfilm 1473753).
The burial record for Laurence Tyler was found in the Staplehurst parish registers (burials, 1653-1695; FHL microfilm 1866585).
He was the father of the following children:
Job Tyler 1619 – 1700
Roger Tyler 1621 – 1673
Rebecca Tyler 1622 –
Moses Tyler 1623 – 1670

Laurence Tyler of Cranbrook, co. Kent, yeoman, "being aged and weak in body," made his will on 10 Jan. 1663 "in our English computacon." My son Jobe Tyler "who is now in New England" shall make, seal and send over a sufficient release of all his right, interest and title he or his heirs may have in a piece of land that I lately purchased of Thomas Everiss of Staplehurst, wherein I joined him as purchasor with myself. For now I give the same piece of land with the house and barn newly erected thereon with a garden and other parcel of land adjoining thereto to my daughter Rebecca page and her heirs for ever. In lieu of this I give to my said son Jobe Tyler £40. To my son John Tyler, £10. To my son Moses Tyler, £40. To my daughter Mary Potter's five children £100, namely to Mary Potter, £20 on 25 Dec 1672, to James Potter £20 on 25 Dec 1677, to Jobe Potter £20 on 25 Dec 1681, to John Potter £20 on 25 Dec 1682, and to Thomas Potter £20 on 25 Dec 1684. Residue to Dorothy my wife, and Mary Potter, my daughter, whom I make the executrices. They are to have the advice and consent of my two friends Mr. Harmone Sheaf of Cranbrook and Mr. John Stephens of Staplehurst, clothiers, whom I make my overseers. Witnesses: Darthy Bayly, Elizabeth Hodgkin, Richard Kingsnoth. Proved 14 March 1663. (Consistory Court of Canterbury, 32/53/201.)
There is no documented proof that shows Laurence Tyler had a son named Henry. Y-DNA testing has proved that Henry Tyler (married to Anne Armistead) and Laurence Tyler are genetically not related. Laurence Tyler belongs to haplogroup R-M269, whereas Henry Tyler belongs to haplogroup I-M223.
