• Notes

  Note: Absalom served as a Juror for several years in Moore County, NC and at one time served as Sheriff of Moore County. On November 15, 1763 Absalom sold his plantation of 220 acres and moved to South Carolina, that same year he receives a land grant of 100 acres in what is now known as Orangeburg District. 1767 Tax Census for Cumberland Co. lists an Absalom Tyler paying taxes. 1790 Orangeburg District, SC Census shows Absolam Sr & Jr. Absalom Sr household Shows 1 male over 16, 2 males under 16, 2 females in the household. It is thought that since the area in NC where Absalom was born was mainly swamp land, that when the children came of age they moved to find better farm land to raise their families. Several of Absalom's children moved to other states. After the Revolutionary war many recieved Land Grants for their service. These land grants split the Tylers into Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Louisianna.
