Excerpted from the biography of Charles C. Tyler, pp. 837-838,
from the Gregg History of Hancock County, Illinois, 1880.

The family is of English ancestry, and emigrated at an early day to Connecticut.  Alvin was born in Harwinton, of that State, in 1809; emigrated to Marietta, O., where he settled and began practicing medicine.  He raised his family here and was very successful in his business.  He visited his relatives in this county in 1846, and on his return he sickened and died at Gilead, Ill., aged 47.  The mother, whose maiden name was Adaline E. Church, was of same descent and nativity, and came West in 1854, residing with Chas. C. until her death, at the age of 46.
