An LDS birth document for one of John and Sarah's children lists Sarah Rhoton as the mother's name. I realize there are a lot of mistakes in the pedigree info filed with the LDS, but am assuming the microfish of actual documents are more reliable. The photocopy I have of a family Bible page, filled in by one of James Tyler's daughters-in-law, simply lists the parents as John and Sarah Tyler. A Lane cousin told me that one of his contacts had actually seen a handwritten document with Sarah's last name. Apparently, it was hard to decifer, and at the time he thought it might be Bolton; we now suspect it was Rhoton. Another strong hint is that, while we've found no Bolton links at all, there are several Rhoton marriages among the Tyler cousins and descendants. I have found at least one Lane cousin who traces her line back to James Rhoton, so would not be surprised if he were linked to Sarah. Please help, if you can. M.
