"Capt. Abraham Tyler, son of preceding [James Tyler], was living in Andover, Mass., previous to his father's death, but soon after came down to Scarborough, and, according to Southgate, 'spent there the remainder of a long and useful life.' He served three years in the Revolutionary army; subsequently filled several official positions. He was deputy sheriff for the county of York, and for some reason arrested Richard Fry, who had a paper-mill at Falmouth as early as 1739. In a petition written while in prison in Boston he complains that Abraham Tyler had broken into his desk, 'under cover of an executin,' and carried away his private papers. At one time he was part owner of a sawmill in Saco. He was the last person having charge of the ferry at Blue Point. His wife was a granddaughter of Captain Scammon, probably named Elizabeth Brown. The names and number of his children are not found."
