Can anyone identity Mrs. E. L. Tyler (Oct 17, 1825 – Feb 25, 1913), buried at Cherry Hill Cemetery in the Daisy community of Horry County? Who was her Tyler husband? When did they marry, and when did he die? Who were her parents and siblings?

There is evidence to suggest that Mrs. E. L. Tyler, buried among Ammons and Todds at Cherry Hill was formerly Elizabeth (Todd) Ammons, widow of Pvt. Joshua Ammons, who died in Confederate service at the Battle of Nashville in December 1864, that she later married Mr. Tyler, and was widowed a second time before her death in 1913.
The Death Certificate (Columbus Co, North Carolina) of Randolph D. Ammons of Whiteville, Columbus County, NC, identified his parents as Joshua and “Betsy” Ann (Todd) Ammons.
Elizabeth Ammons was enumerated in the Joshua Ammons/Almonds household in Horry County in the censuses of 1850 and 1860, then in 1880 as widow and head of her household, and finally in the household of her son Joseph Ammons in Columbus County, NC, in 1910. I haven't found her in any census for 1870, 1900, or after 1910.
In 1910, 84-year-old widow Elizabeth Tyler, of Columbus County, NC, was granted a North Carolina Confederate Widows Pension for service of her late husband Pvt. Joshua Ammons, Co. C., 10th SC Infantry, [‘Lake Swamp Volunteers’]. Attesting to the facts of her application were W. F. Stevens of Tabor City, Columbus County, NC, and H. J. Todd of Daisy, Horry County, SC.
The dates on the headstone of Mrs. E. L. Tyler (Oct 17, 1825 - Feb 25, 1913) accord with what I know of Elizabeth (Todd) Ammons. Mrs. E. L. Tyler, born 17 Oct 1825 by her tombstone inscription, would have been 84, not yet 85, when Elizabeth Ammons-Tyler, age 84, signed her pension application in May 1910. I have not found a death record, after 1910, for Elizabeth Ammons-Tyler.
Joshua Ammons must have been buried with other Confederate dead near the battlefield at Nashville, and Mr. Tyler was likely buried with a first wife, so Elizabeth was logically laid to rest among her Todd family.
I believe that "George Ammons age 13" and "M. L. Ammons age 15" (no dates on their stones), buried next to Mrs. E. L. Ammons at Cherry Hill, were children of Joshua and Elizabeth Ammons. The 1860 census shows George Ammons, age 2, in their household. If "M. L. Ammons" was born after the 1860 census and died at age 15, he/she would have appeared in the family’s census enumerations only once, in 1870. I’ve not yet found enumerations in that census for Elizabeth Ammons (or Tyler?), or her younger children, but another researcher recognized the couple’s two oldest sons, Randolph and Cornelius Hammonds, living then (1870) with a Benjamin Harrell household in Columbus County, NC. [In another censuses, this family appears as Harrelson. Were they too related?]
Also buried at Cherry Hill, four spaces away from Mrs. E. L. Todd, and in the same row, is H. J. Todd (no dates; inscription reads Co G, 10 SC Inf CSA). He was likely the same person as:
(1) H. J. Todd (resident of Daisy community) who attested Elizabeth Tyler's pension
(2) H. J. Todd, age 20, living adjacent to Joshua and Elizabeth Ammons in the 1850 census, and with an older woman Margaret Smith (b. cerca 1796) in the household.
(3) Henry J. Todd, b. 31 Aug 1829 in Horry County, d. 27 May 1918 at Simpson Creek, Horry County, son of Solomon and Margaret (King) Todd, according to his SC Death Certificate.
I have no doubt that Henry James Todd was a kinsman of Elizabeth Todd Ammons (her brother? cousin?) but I cannot define their relationship.
Julia Ann (Ammons) Todd, known to the Socastee Ammons families as "Aunt Junie," is also buried at Cherry Hill. She was a granddaughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Todd) Ammons through their son Cornelius J. Ammons. She married James Madison Todd, grandson of H. J. Todd above.
I am indebted to Sharon Waldron, a Randolph Ammons descendant, for discovering Elizabeth Tyler’s North Carolina Confederate Widow’s Pension. We will gratefully receive further information regarding Elizabeth’s Todd, Ammons, and Tyler connections.
