[Pages 35-36]
Tyler, John, son of John Tyler, marshal of the vice-admiralty court, and Anne Contesse, his wife, daughter of Dr. Lewis Contesse, a French Huguenot physician, was born in James City county, Virginia, February 28, 1747. He attended the Grammar school at William and Mary in 1754, and afterwards was a student in the college. In his nineteenth year he stood in the lobby of the house of burgesses and heard Patrick Henry's speech on the Stamp Act, which roused in him a great hostility to England. He studied law under the eminent lawyer, Robert Carter Nicholas, and removed to Charles City county in 1770. Here in 1774 he was a member of the county committee of safety, and in 1775, when he heard of Lord Dunmore's act of removing the powder from the government magazine in Williamsburg, he raised a company of troops in Charles City county and joined his forces with those of Patrick Henry, to demand restoration or compensation. In 1776 he was appointed a commissioner of admiralty for one year, and in 1778 was elected to the house of delegates. Here he was a warm supporter of the revolutionary war, and in 1781 supported the proposition to permit Congress to levy a five per cent. duty on urged the needs of education upon the legislature, and it was in response to his remonstrances that the legislature established the Literary Fund. His appointment as United States judge was strongly pressed by Mr. Jefferson on President Madison, as an exception to the rule he had made for himself "never to embarrass the President with my solicitations." In Jefferson's opinion, Judge Tyler had the firmness "to preserve his independence on the same bench with Marshall," and there was scarcely a person in the state "so solidly popular." He was an earnest advocate of the war of 1812, and decided the first prize case that came up for decision. His death occurred at his residence, "Greenway," in Charles City county, February 6, 1813, due to pleurisy contracted during inclement weather whole holding court in Norfolk. His wife, whom he married in 1776, was Mary Armistead, daughter of Robert Booth Armistead, of York county, by whom he had, with other children, a son of the same name who became President of the United States (1841-1845

(Medical):When Tyler was just seven years old, his mother, Mary, died from a stroke. At the age of 12 he joined the College of William and Mary like his father before him, and later enrolled in the collegiate program of the college. He graduated in 1807 when he was 17 years old.
After that, Tyler studied law, first under the tutelage of his father, then under his cousin, and finally under Edmund Randolph, the first US Attorney General. Tyler was admitted into the Bar in 1809 and, in 1840, became the Vice President under William Henry Harrison. Harrison died after just a month in office which made John Tyler the president.

Mary married TYLER John, III in 1776 in York County, VA. John (son of TYLER John, Jr and CONTESSE Anne) was born on 28 Feb 1747 in James City County, Virginia; died about 1813. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

1. President TYLER John, IV was born on 29 Mar 1790 in Greenway, Charles City County, Virginia; died on 17 Jan 1862 in Charles City County, VA; was buried in Richmond, Virginia, USA.

Notes:

William Booth was probably another son of Robert Armistead, the clerk. He sat on the York County Bench of Justices as early as 1677. His wife was Margaret and he had a daughter Elizabeth who was second wife of Capt. Robert Armistead, having previously married Capt. William Sheldon. Her children were Booth, Robert and Angelica. No doubt Katherine's Grandmother Margaret was like Anne, the mother of Captain Armistead's first wife, a daughter of Col. James Bray. Apparently two Bray sisters married two Booth brothers, and Captain Robert Armistead married successively the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Col. James Bray.

Robert married SHIELDS Ann about 1760. Ann (daughter of Col. SHIELDS James and MAROT Ann, daughter of INGLIS James and MAROT Anne) was born on 31 Jul 1742 in Williamsburg, VA; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

James II and Anne's daughter, Anne Shields married Robert Booth Armistead and their daughter, Mary Armistead, married John Tyler Sr. who served as governor of Virginia, 1808 - 11. A college roommate of Thomas Jefferson and ardent supporter of the Revolution, Tyler served as a member of the Committee of Safety for Charles City County in 1774 and raised a company of troops in 1775 in rebellion against Lord Dunmore , the Royal Governor of Virginia. He had ordered the removal of gunpowder from the magazine at Williamsburg and that action, among many others, inspired the colonists to rebel and Lord Dunmore retreated to a ship.

LETTER ' FROM MUNGO INGLES. Mr Rector & Gent: I understand there has been some discouragemt lately about y0 payment of our Salarys & yt it is to be done by ye Rule of propor-tion. I know that Mr President is for it, but the other Gent expect their whole Salarys, and did not well brook it. For my own part I speak for but one. I have always look'd upon ye College pay, as so much ready money, & depending upon it as such, have ordered my affairs accordingly, and have contracted several debts, payable on that very day on which our Salarys used to be pd. I need not tell Mr Rector & ye Gent of ye College yt my Constant Attendance here, takes me off as much as any other clergyman from all other ways of getting a Livelyhood in ye world: and as it is but just, & highly reasonable that they who serve at ye Altar, should live by ye Altar, so I hope it will not be thought unreason-able, that I who have served ye College so duely & truely, now these ten years should live by it, which I cannot do by having but half Salary. I give whole attendance & I expect whole Salary. Let but any Gent suppose this Case to be his own (for yt is ye best way to give a true estimate of things) & I am confident he will be of opinion that ye whole Salary ought to be pd. Is it nothing to be (all ye year long except in ye breaking up) Confin'd to ye College from 7 to 11 in the morning; & from 2 to 6 in the afternoon, and to be all day long spending ones Lungs upon a Compa. of children, who (many of them) must be taught ye same things many times over Does ye Master of a Grammar School get his money so easily, that he must not be thought worthy of it ? Gent if it be so, that you set so little by the education of yr sons; tis time to tell ye Master yt ye have no more occasion for him; and it is time for ye Master to tell ye College, that if he cannot live by it, he must een think of some other way. I shall only add that my charge of my family is great, my attendance at ye College is Constant, the trouble of teaching unspeakable, & my occasion for money such that nothing than my whole Salary will answer them, which I leave with you to be considered of.' M. Ingles. 'Rev. Mungo Ingles, of Scotland, born 1657 and died 1719, was selected by Dr. Blair, when he came with the charter in 1693, as the first master of the Grammar school. He served from 1694 to 1705, when, taking sides with Gov-ernor Nicholson, he resigned out of disgust with Dr. Blair. Arthur Blacka-more was his successor, who wrote a poem published in the Maryland Gazette on Spotswood's expedition to the mountains. In 1716, Mungo Ingles was re-elected master, and so continued till his death. He was also one of the first feoffees of Williamsburg, and a justice of James City county. He married in Virginia, Anne, daughter of Col. James Bray, of the Council, and Angelica his wife. She was Widow of Capt. Peter Temple, who died in 1695 (Peter Temple was son of Rev. Peter Temple), and in 1692 she was widow of Robert Booth. (son of Robert Booth, clerk of York county), by whom she had a daughter who married Robert Armistead. Issue of Mungo Ingles and Anne Bray, five children, of whom four were, Mary, died March 22, 1709-'10; Anne, died Nov. 12, 1710; David, died 1714, and James, who married Anne Marot and had a single daughter, Judith Bray, who married William Armistead, and had Henry Armistead, of Charles City.
