My relations apparently didn't travel much. The Maury and Giles County area of Tennessee is where most of them are located. Lots of them migrated in from Cocke. And a few moved on to Texas and Oklahoma, but not from my direct line.

Photos have become a dear and clear connection to the past for me. I have some newly discosed pictures that bring my past to life. I have some that remain unidentifed. And I have some ancestors of whom I have no photos.

Still looking.....

• Benjamin Franklin Tyler of Culleoka, Tennessee (96 KB)
  Is this B.F. Tyler a brother or any other relation to James Marion Tyler of Culleoka, Tennessee? They both had big beards and plenty of hair, even in later years. J.M.Tyler had 11 brothers and sisters, but I don't know all of their names. Could Benjamin be one of them???

  This is my g-g-grandfather, James Marion Tyler. This photo is for comparison with the one of Benjamin Tyler, for help in determining if they are brothers. Please contact me if you have information. Thanks.
