James Hoge Tyler (August 11, 1846 – January 3, 1925) was a United States political figure. He was the 16th Lieutenant Governor of Virginia from 1890 to 1894, and the 43rd Governor of Virginia from 1898 to 1902. He compiled ''The Family of Hoge'', published posthumously in 1927.〔A copy is viewable at (Heritage Quest Online )〕 Governor Tyler〔(Governor Tyler )〕 was from an old illustrious family,〔(old illustrious family )〕 including pioneers and the wealthy. ==Biography== He was born at Blenheim in Caroline County, Virginia on August 11, 1846. Two hours after his birth his mother died. His grandparents took him 300 miles by carriage to his mother's home, Hayfield, subsequently known as Belle Hampton, in Pulaski County, Virginia. There he was raised by his maternal grandparents, General James Hoge〔(General James Hoge )〕 and Eleanor Haven Howe.〔(Eleanor Haven Howe )〕 (General Hoge was the nephew of his wife's father and Eleanor Howe was the niece of her husband's mother, thus they were cousins, both grandchildren of Major Joseph Howe,〔(Major Joseph Howe )〕 who was the brother (most likely) or cousin of: George Augustus Howe, 3rd Viscount Howe; Richard Howe, 1st Earl Howe, 4th Viscount Howe; and Sir William Howe, 5th Viscount Howe.) About 1862, at the age of 16, he enlisted in the Army of the Confederate States of America and served as a private until the end of the American Civil War rather than accept a commission as an officer and be separated from his friend. On November 16, 1868, he married Sue Hammet of Montgomery County, Virginia, and the children by that marriage were Edward Hammet, James Hoge, Stockton Heth, Belle Norwood, Sue Hampton, Henry Clement, Eliza (Lily), and Eleanor. In 1861, Tyler inherited a number of properties form his grandfather General James Hoge, including Belle-Hampton in Pulaski County, Virginia. Tyler was a devout Presbyterian. Three times he was elected to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. In 1892 he was a delegate to the Pan Presbyterian Alliance in Toronto, and in 1896 a delegate to the convention in Glasgo, Scotland, where he presided over one of the sessions. He was a member of the boards of trustees of Hampden-Sydney College, the Union Theological Seminary and the Synodical Orphans Home at Lynchburg. He died January 3, 1925 at Halwick (note that this is the correct spelling of the home, not "Halwyck"), which he built in 1892. Halwick was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. Descendants of Governor Tyler, relying on numerous sources within the writings of Governor Tyler, believe that the correct spelling of his home is "Halwick," and that when the home was added to the National Register of Historic Places the name of the home was incorrectly spelled "Halwyck." One of the many sources that document this fact is in the book "The Family of Hoge: A Genealogy Compiled by James Hoge Tyler" (see page 66).
