Henry Tyler and Alice Strother were not in the direct line of President Tyler. For reference see "The Letters and Times of the Tylers, vol. 3" by Lyon Gardiner Tyler and look at Appendix H for a lineage of the President's family.

The book is available as an ebook through google.com

The Henry Tyler referenced above is President Tyler's first cousin 2x removed.

Also, the connection of John Tyler and Mary Gardner as parents of the Chowan, N.C. Tyler line has been disproved by yDNA testing, so the information at the ncgenweb.us/bladen link is incorrect and the coordinator of the site will not remove the information.
