I've been searching for years to discover any info about my G-G-G-Grandfather ? Tyler. Here is the family as it was enumerated on the 1850 Fedearl Census for New Haven Precinct in Gallatin Co., IL:

Patience Tyler 45 born Ky
Elisha D.J. Tyler 22 laborer born IN
Josiah S.Q. Tyler 20 laborer born TN
Joshua P.A. Tyler 18 laborer born KY
Louisa Jane Tyler 13 born IN attended school within year
John F.M. Tyler 8 born IN attended school within year

I've always thought that perhaps their father worked on the rivers given all the different states his children were born in. The only other info I have is a family story that says his first name might have been George and he came from Derbyshire, England. Any help will be appreciated tremendously as I have been stuck on this line since the early 1980's!
