Thank you Timothy for your information. Are you related to Tylers in any way?
We have a court record of marriage for John T. Tyler and Etta Mae Reynolds dated Oct 17, 1897
This couple was my grandmother's parents. Edna Mae Tyler.
My mother looked in the 1900 census and could find no records of the Tylers any where in Michigan. She must have missed it. She never found a death record for Etta Mae Tyler but at the time did not know if she had remarried.
Etta Mae came back to Davison Area when my grandmother was 11 years old. She wanted her daughter back. Mary Margaret Wetherwax refused to give her up. That would have been about 1912.
Grandma's first husband Cuthbert Cook was killed in a gun accident I believe in 1921. He was testing ice on a pond and the shotgun went off. This article is in the Davison Index newspaper archives. Leo Weatherwax, who is the son of Louis Wetherwax, was with him at the time.
Now that I have names and marriage dates. Possibly I can find out what happened to John T. because even though there was a legal marriage, Grandma was listed as illegitimate on her birth certificate. She did not find out until she was over 40 years old.
In all her searchs for her mother's family (Tyler, Reynolds, Wood) and my father's (Fenner) my mother also found that her mother's tree branched off and connected with my father's tree.
Again Thank you.
