Hugh Crawford Tyler's father was Stephen Tyler. Court records in Henry Co. TN in March, 1840-Dec 4, 1843 lists Hugh, Eliza, John, Henry and Samuel as orphans of Stephen Tyler. William Crawford is their guardian. I found deeds in Sumner Co. TN with Stephen Tyler from Jefferson Co. Illinois and his wife, Malinda. The deeds start in 1824 and end in 1833. Some of the deeds have Hugh and William Crawford's names on them.
