After William Tyler, Sr.'s death about 1826, his widow married George Pooser. They had a lawsuit against Thomas Tyler, executor of William's estate. William had been given some property by his wife's grandmother, Mrs. Minnick, which he divided among his children by Elizabeth. In the settlement, the children were allowed to keep the property given them by their father, but Thomas was ordered to pay George Pooser, in right of his wife, $2,462.21 as her distributive share of her late husband's estate, and also to pay George Pooser, as guardian of Absolom Tyler, $1,434.73 as his share.

I also believe there are additional corrections needed to this family group.
