quoting from "The Tyler Genealogy" by Willard I. Tyler Grigham . . . "Accordingly, in response to written appeal, numbers of the clan joined their "mites," to thus honor their forebear, and the memorial was dedicated at the sixth Tyler Reunion, September 4, 1901. The spot selected was beside the grave of the immigrant's eldest son, Moses, whose ancient slate slab, with its legend of "1727," has survived with wonderful completeness. Here, under a giant evergreen, upon a cubic yard of cement and cobble stones which was brought just to the surface of the ground, was placed a large hard-grained boulder brought from the old Tyler farm (now known as the Woods place), four miles distant in West Boxford; a homestead which has known Tyler blood and heirship uninterruptedly from the first generation, when it was acquired from the Indians, to the present day.

"Died: After December 1700. The last known record of Job Tyler is a deed by "Job Tyler of Mendon in ye County of Suffolk in the Province of ye Massachusetts Bay in New England." The deed is dated 27 Nov 1700, but on 14 December 1700, Job Tyler appeared before the Tymo Dwight justice, and "owned this instrument to be his Act & Deed. He sold to Moses Tyler, of Andover, (and his heirs forever) for £60 one house lot (about 15 acres) in Mendon, and other land, plus the buildings, roods, trees, and other allotments. This sounds as though it is probably the entire holdings of Job. Moses in turn granted said to John Farnum of Andover 8 July 1701 for £61.[8]

Common Errors to Avoid
Origins: He is sometimes said to have come from Shropshire, England. This has been proven to be incorrect with the discovery of the will of his father.[9]
Immigration: There is no evidence he was in New England by 1635 as is sometimes said. The earliest record of him is his name name at Newport, Rhode Island in 1638, though it is not certain that this is even him."
