Do not confuse hthis Elizabeth with Elizabeth Duvall b1687, dau of John Duvall (1661-1711) who married 1) Benjamin Warfield and 2) John Gaiather. People have them confused causing issues with DNA matches. I have her husbands in as a Misc note.

| Misc | DNA Matches - very confusing. Judy's DNA attached to Dessie Anderson 3 matches to children of Elizabeth Duvall Edward 1 both parents Ruth - has our Elizabeth Duvall married (only) to a John Gaither with children born from 1720 to 1731. no evidence Richard Gaither - also mother Elizabeth Duvall with John Gaither. NO HELP HERE! Scott 2 matches which is 1 match because one is under Robert B1723 So the ONE match is with Joshua Warfield called half, Elizabeth Duvall only So Elizabeth Duvall now has three husbands. This one is Benjamin Warfield. The children are born 1706 to 1710. So this could have been a first husband... No evidence though. Early Colonial Settlers has her marrying both Benjamin Warfield (children 1706, 1712) and John Gaither (1720-1724). This leaves no time for Edward Tyler! BUT they also have Edward Tyler marrying Elizabeth Duvall! children almost like I have... THERE ARE TWO Elizabeth Duvall people! 1)Elizabeth Duvall b 6 Oct 1697 who married Edward Tyler has a father Samuel DuVall and Elizabeth Iiams, which is what I have for "our" Elizabeth Duvall. The other one was born 4 Aug 1687 and the father is JOHN Duvall (1661-1711). Obviously a LOT of people have mixed them up! So little hope of good DNA this far out. NOTE! I have Edward's father Colonel Robert Tyler married to a Dvall! That can mess up the DNA. | |

Colonel Robert Tyler, Gent
M, #2268, b. 6 January 1671, d. about 1738
Robert was born on his father's plantation called "Brough". His father died in 1674. After his death, his mother married John Beale in 1674, had another child and died in 1675. Because Robert Jr. and his sister Elizabeth were very young, their father's will written in Sept 1673 stated: "To Thomas Sprigg (brother-in-law), Samuel Taylor and Robert Taylor, in event of Joane predeceasing the children, shall assume guardianship of the children". Therefore, their uncle Col. Thomas Sprigg Jr. raised him from age 4 years until age 17. Attaining his majority at age 17 per the terms of this father's will, Robert Jr. inherited and became the master of "Brough" manor as well as the adjoining 350 ac tract called "Bowdel's Choice" around 1689. It is believed he married Susannah (Duvall) sometime before 1694 because he was named as one of the Executors of her father's will. Robert Jr. purchased 3,000 ac of the original 3,800 ac "Darnall's Grove" on Jun 24, 1700. He attained more land and willed much of it to his children, which can be traced in his will and land records. Robert Jr. and wife Susannah are believed to have had eight children all born in Anne Arundel Co, MD:

Mary b. 1 Feb 1696/7
Susannah b. 14 Jul 1700
Elizabeth b. 22 Nov 1701
Priscilla b. 12 Jun 1703
Robert III b. 9 Aug 1704
Mareen b. 20 Feb 1706/7
Jane b. 20 May 1709
Wife Susanna died in 1716. On 10 Jun 1718, Robert married Mary (Dodd).
Col. Robert Tyler was appointed on 22 Apr 1696 by his Majesty William III to be Peace Commissioner of Prince Georges Co., MD. He was a Maryland member of the General Assembly for Prince Georges Co. for 15 years from May 1704. He was an ancestor of General Bradley Tyler Johnson of the Confederate States of America in the Civil War.

Susannah Duvall
F, #2269, b. about 1676, d. 12 May 1716
Susannah Duvall, daughter of Mareen Duvall, was born about 1676 at "Middle Plantation", and is believed to be a daughter and consequently namesake of the second wife. Before the death of her father in 1694 she had married Robert Tyler, Gent., who was named as one of the co-executors of her father's will. It is possible that she had already received her share, perhaps as a dowry at the time of her marriage, and for that reason no specific bequest was made to her or her husband in the will. Then, inasmuch as she contracted the most brilliant marriage of the several daughters of Mareen Duvall, her father may have considered it unnecessary to add further to his son-in-law's estate.
Her husband, Robert Tyler, born about 1671 (aged 55 in 1726), was the son and heir of Robert Tyler, a "Carpenter of the Patuxent",* who was a Justice of the Peace for Calvert County 1670-71.1 His mother was Joan, the Widow Reade, at the time of her marriage with his father. Robert Sr. by his last will and testament, dated September 11, 1673, and proved in Calvert County on April 8, 1674, devised Robert, his son and heir, at the age of 21, a portion of "Brough", and 375 acres of an unnamed tract.2 The widow married as her third husband, John Beale, but predeceased him. With the permission of her spouse, she negotiated her will in 1675 and bequeathed certain property to her son Robert.3
The parental seat was on Resurrection Manor then in Calvert County, but now in St. Mary's. At the probation of his father's will, it was brought out that Thomas Sprigg accompanied his father to the house of John Hall where the last will and testament was drawn up, but Tyler had already written one himself which he tore up in their presence. Robert Junior established his dwelling-plantation at "Brough" which was the traditional seat of the senior branch of the Tyler family until the nineteenth century.* It lay in Queen Anne's.

Edward Tyler, II
M, #2272, b. 1719/20, d. 20 May 1802
Tyler, Eward II. b Queen Anne's Parish, Prince George's County, Maryland, January 18, 1719; d Jefferson County, Kentucky, 1802). Pioneer. Tyler, the son of Edward and Elizabeth (Duvall) Tyler, migrated to the Virginia frontier in the 1740s. There he worked as a trader. About 1750 he married Nancy (Ann) Langley. In 1780 they came down river with seven of their children to the Falls of The Ohio, apparently staying at Linn's Station on Beargrass Creek. By 1782 Tyler purchased 1,000 acres on Chenoweth Run east of present Jeffersontown, where three of his sons and a nephew established homesteads. Tyler, and his spouse moved to Louisville and in 1784 began operating a tavern on Main Street near Fort Nelson. They lived there for about five years before retiring to the farm operated by their youngest son.

| Misc | Tyler Settlement. The Tyler Settlement’s First Owner The first owner of the Tyler Settlement was Edward Tyler, born 1719 in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Edward was the grandson of Robert Tyler, a wealthy planter and member of the legislature. In Edward’s youth he lost the money inherited from his grandfather and, in about 1740, moved to the Appalachian region of the Virginia frontier. Here he worked as a trader and in about 1750 married Ann Langley. Their ten children were born in this region. In 1780 Edward, his wife, and seven of their children, came down river to the Falls where they settled first at Linn’s Station on Beargrass Creek. In 1782 Edward purchased a treasury warrant that entitled him to claim over 1,000 acres of land. He located his claim on Chenoweth Run east of present Jeffersontown, where three of his sons and one nephew established farms. Edward, apparently not a farmer himself, moved into Louisville with Ann and in 1784 began operating a tavern on Main Street near Fort Nelson. He owned additional lots and at least one warehouse in Louisville from which he wholesaled merchandise and in several instances helped supply the army of George Rogers Clark. Edward remained in Louisville until about 1788/89 when a fire destroyed his warehouse. After that he and Ann moved to the Tyler Settlement farm established by their youngest son also named Edward. The Tyler Settlement and Rural Historic District (established ca. 1785) Rural land has all but disappeared in Jefferson County and with it the ties to Kentucky's early settlement. This priceless heritage has been preserved at the Blackacre State Nature Preserve and Historic Homestead and the Blackacre Conservancy lands. Blackacre's boundaries make up nearly half of the 600 acre Tyler Settlement, a rural historic district that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in May 1986. Remarkably, the pattern of fields, woods, and streams at Blackacre, remains much the same as it was 200 years ago. In 1780 the Edward Tyler family came from the Virginia frontier to the wilderness that is now Jefferson County, Kentucky. Kentucky was still a wilderness from which these early settlers had to establish their homesteads. Edward Tyler, his wife Ann, and their children settled first in Louisville where he built a tavern and had warehouses. In 1783 Edward purchased 1,003 acres east of present Jeffersontown on Chenoweth Run for his sons and a nephew to farm. This fertile land was suitable for numerous crops. Springs supplied pure water. Trees and rock outcroppings provided building material. William Tyler, probably the first of the sons to live on this land, established his farm south of present Taylorsville Road. His brother Moses and his cousin Robert came next in about 1785; and before 1790, Edward Sr. and Ann left Louisville with their youngest son, Edward Jr., to establish the fourth homestead nearby. These farms soon became known as the Tyler Settlement and three of them survive today. Each has a stone, or stone and log, house and a springhouse constructed before 1800. Moses' farm, today’s Blackacre State Nature Preserve, also has a log barn from the same period. Moses' son, Presley, built Blackacre's brick farm house in 1844. The Tylers shared a cemetery, centrally located on the Settlement, and they also established a system of roads and lanes that connected their farms. Some segments of this historic road system can still be seen today, while others have become public roads. Today, 600 of the Tylers’ original 1,003 acres have been designated the Tyler Settlement Rural Historic District. The district is located just east of the city of Jeffersontown and is loosely bounded by Taylorsville Road on the south, the NorfolkSouthern Railroad on the north, the Gene Snyder Freeway on the east, and the Jeffersontown city limits on the west. In addition to three original Tyler homesteads, the district includes about 17 early 20th-century houses and several recently subdivided developments. Because of the Blackacre Conservancy, as well the efforts of many individuals, land in the historic district remains primarily rural. The Tyler Homestead (1785-1881) The Moses Tyler Homestead, situated at the center of the Blackacre State Nature Preserve, dates to approximately 1785. As part of the National Register’s Tyler Settlement Rural Historic District, the Homestead shelters an 18th-century residence, springhouse, barn, and a pre-Civil War farmhouse, now open to the public as the Blackacre visitors’ center. Surviving Historic Structures The Presley Tyler Farmhouse was built in 1844 by a son of Moses Tyler. Constructed in a single-pile, the I-house design of the two-story brick farm house was characteristic of the region. It was painted yellow about 1900. Now housing the Blackacre Conservancy office, a caretaker’s apartment, and the Visitors’ Center featuring a photography and map exhibit detailing the farm’s history, the nine room structure is Blackacre’s largest residence. The Stone Cottage, originally a one story, two-room residence with two stone fireplaces, was constructed between 1795 and 1800. The cottage has served many purposes through its two hundred years, but today is home to the preserve’s site biologist. A frame addition was added to the structure in 2000. The Barn, in the Appalachian style typical of that era, would have been constructed about 1790, the year that Moses Tyler was issued a distillery license. It would have provided storage for corn and other grains for cattle and hog feeding. Housing two large cribs of poplar logs connected by a superstructure supporting the roof, it was originally covered by shakes that were replaced by tin after 1915. The Springhouse, built of stone probably quarried at the site, is associated with the pre-1800 Stone Cottage. The structure covers a spring emerging from the surrounding limestone and provides a cool lower level for the storage of perishable foods plus an attic space for additional storage. The pond below the house was created in the 1940s. It will be allowed to revert to a natural spring. The brick Smokehouse was built originally of logs several feet from its current location. The structure covers a dirt floor and contains a wooden trough. The Carriage House complex, built in the early-19th century, is constructed of clapboards. It has served many purposes, including possibly a residence. Today it is home to the Jefferson County Public Schools’ Blackacre Environmental Education field office. The Road that passes in front of the farmhouse was once a main road for the district. Some of the original quarried stones are still visible behind the Stone Cottage. The Tyler Family: Blackacre’s first permanent settlers Moses Tyler was nearly 82 years old when he deeded his stone house, property, farm, animals and equipment to his son, Presley, in return for food, lodging, care and “a suitable horse and decent saddle and bridle.” Ten years later, in 1844, Presley built the two-story brick house, painted yellow since the turn of the 20th century, now known as the Presley Tyler Visitors’ Center. The houses were situated on a road that connected Middletown to Jeffersontown, although a new road, later called Tucker Station in reference to a railroad stop that would exist for decades, replaced the farm road as a public right-of-way by 1879. Moses Tyler’s farm was one portion of an original 1785 treasury grant purchase of 1000 acres made by his father, Edward Tyler. The elder Tyler lived in Louisville with his family for the period of time necessary to construct a farmstead – a stone, pen-over-pen residence and spring house, timber barn and outbuildings - located about three miles east of Brunerstown, later, Jeffersontown. Moses’ farm, located roughly within the boundaries of the Blackacre State Nature Preserve, would consist of a stone residence and springhouse, a nearby timber cabin, double-crib poplar barn, and undoubtedly numerous cribs and outbuildings required to maintain the hog, cattle and corn productions known to be in place. Moses Tyler received a distillery license in 1798, the year the federal government succeeded in establishing tax revenue procedures in Kentucky. Subsequent Families Presley Tyler’s farm was purchased by neighbor, Joseph Sweeney, in 1881. The Sweeney family had purchased the Edward Tyler home on the Taylorsville Turnpike and constructed a handsome three-bay brick residence adjacent to the south wall of the original stone residence. Sweeney sold 240 acres of “the old Presley Tyler Place” to John C. Kroeger in 1885. Kroeger’s son established a dairy operation at the farm, and nurtured fruit orchards near the house. After Kroeger’s death in 1902, local confectionery owner, T.L. Solger, bought the property for use as a summer home. Joseph T. Wheeler acquired the land in 1910 and re-established a farming operation that lasted until 1939, when William Woodward bought the property and installed electricity and modern plumbing in the house. The Woodwards called their new residence Land O’ Skye, but when friends Macauley and Emilie Smith purchased it in 1950, Judge Smith renamed the place Blackacre. The Smiths: Visionaries for Blackacre’s future The Smiths lived on the property they called Blackacre starting in 1950. Judge Smith, who delighted in words, named the farm Blackacre, a legal term distinguishing one piece of property from another: Blackacre from Whiteacre. After Judge Smith left the Jefferson Circuit Court bench in 1975, having served three terms, the Smiths began to consider ways of preserving Blackacre. They had begun to see development encroaching, and they wished to preserve the land so that future generations might know what a farm looked like. After nearly thirty years of devoted stewardship, the Smiths donated their 170- acre parcel to the commonwealth on 19 March 1979, dedicating it to the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission for the express purpose of preserving the land for passive recreation and interpretive nature education, thereby creating Kentucky’s first state nature preserve. The Articles of Dedication contained within the deed of conveyance recognized that there was a relative lack of opportunity for people living in such population centers as Louisville to conveniently visit natural places for education and recreation. The principal visitor activities permitted by the Articles of Dedication are observation, walking and study. As a State Nature Preserve (SNP), Blackacre is a legally dedicated area that has been recognized for its natural significance and protected by law for scientific and educational purposes. After it became clear that the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission would not be able to accept responsibility for the ongoing maintenance of the grounds and structures, the Smiths created the Blackacre Conservancy and established an endowment for the organization. The formation of the Blackacre Conservancy in 1983 was designed to provide an on-going source of financial means to maintain the preserve and the historic homestead. The Smith family’s relationship to Blackacre continues to this day and in the last ten years, the Smiths have helped protect additional property surrounding Blackacre’s original 170 acres. Emilie Strong Smith, with support from her son and grandson, purchased 101 additional acres immediately south of the preserve in 1997 to provide a buffer against planned development. This acreage remains in the custody of the Blackacre Conservancy. In addition, the Smiths helped enable the Conservancy to purchase a 17-acre easement to the north of the preserve in 2000 to secure the northern boundary from railroad and industrial park incursion. Reflections of Joellen Johnston I have often stood in the barn at Blackacre and been transfixed with the thought of the many things that barn has witnessed over the past two hundred years. It was built in the 1790s by Moses Tyler, with the help of family and neighbors. They used yellow poplar, cutting the tall old trees down in winter when there was little sap in the trunks. The felled trees were then stripped of their limbs and hauled to the barn site where they were shaped into squared logs using an adz and broad ax. After trimming the ends of the logs so they would fit together the men hoisted them into place to create a double-crib barn characteristic of the style brought to this area by early settlers from the Virginia region of Appalachia. And all this they accomplished using only their own strength and that of their horses. I have admired those massive logs forming pens for animals and lofts for grain but one question I often asked myself is - why did they decide on a two-crib barn? Could this barn have been for both Moses and his brother William to use? William’s farm was directly south, just across today’s Taylorsville Road. The brothers were close not only in the proximity of their farms but also in their feelings for one another. Their friendship and mutual respect can been seen in original deeds and felt even across the many years. I climbed the ladder to the loft, which has a sweet smell of hay. Barn swallows were flying about and nesting in the rafters. When I shut my eyes I could almost hear the sounds of wagon wheels and horses hooves. I thought of the many hours men have spent working in that barn, caring for the sheltered livestock and tossing hay into the lofts. (According to the Agricultural Census in 1850, Presley Tyler, who owned the farm after his father Moses died, had 15 tons of hay.) I thought about the Kroeger family milking their herd of dairy cows and then taking the large cans of milk to the train at Tucker Station. There were echoes also of the Wheeler family who lived and worked on the farm in the early 20th century, continuing those days when older children provided much farm labor. And I thought of the many school children coming in the last 25 years to stand in the barn and learn about the self-sufficiency required of early farm families. In 1983 the barn underwent extensive restoration and at that time, the Courier-Journal described the barn as ‘…. The oldest continuously used barn in Jefferson County.’ It is all that, and much, much more. https://www.ancestry.com/mediaui-viewer/tree/19167528/person/765153491/media/33e6ecd9-026e-4b49-a1ce-631b8cf82ffc?destTreeId=19167528&destPersonId=765153491&src=em6,3 | |

Plus some people claim Margaret Tyler b1755 who married Robert Tyler b1751 and had daughter Ann Druscilla was the daughter of Robert Tyler and Elizabeth Butt rather than Robert Tyler b 1727 and Elinor Bradley.
There may be two Elizabeth Tyler people. I have two birth records. There is a WikiTree but no parent for her:

Butt(s) Footprints has her marrying Abraham Hudson and being born Jan 4, 1747. Note Jan 4 for both 1747 and 1755...
