Curiously, Gary Boyd Roberts has Robert Tyler and Margaret ______
marrying circa 1772.

That just doesn't work does it? Margaret could hardly marry three years
before she was born.

So, there may be a misprint in AAP, p. 87.

Perhaps Margaret was born in 1755. That would make her four years
younger than her husband, 17 when she married and 85 at death.

| | The Grandfather of President Franklin Pierce [14th POTUS] is
Benjamin
| | Pierce, who was born at Chelmsford, Massachusetts on 25 Nov 1726 and
| | died at Chelmsford on 16 June 1764.
| |
| | He married Elizabeth Merrill in Methuen, Mass. on 2 Aug 1746 ----
254

| |
| | Kinships among American Presidents are also tied in here, of course.
| |
| | George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, George Herbert Walker
| Bush
| | and (John) Calvin Coolidge, for example, are all descended from a
15th

|
| | | This week's Time Magazine says that President Franklin Pierce is
an
| | | ancestor of the grandfather of Barbara Bush (whose maiden name was
| | | Pierce). That, naturally, would mean that he is a direct ancestor
of
| | | George W. Bush.
| | |
| | | Gary Boyd Roberts's Ancestors of American Presidents is silent on
| this
| | | issue (but indirectly negates it by not passing on President
| Pierce's
| | | royal lines to Mrs. Bush).
| | |
| | | But I thought I'd ask to be sure.
