Overview
Asher Tyler was a U.S. Representative from New York and Hamilton College alumnus (class of 1817). He served in the U.S. House of Representatives and was one of Hamilton’s notable political alumni of the early nineteenth century.
Relevance to Research
Tyler appears in the March 24, 1915 issue of Hamilton Life in a list of Hamilton’s most famous alumni, cited as “Asher Tyler, ‘17, M. C.” (Member of Congress) alongside other distinguished graduates of the same era. He also appears in the 1858–59 course catalog as an officer of the Alumni Association, listed as a Vice President: “Hon. ASHER TYLER.”
Notes
The Hamilton Life reference places him in a roundup of notable alumni; both sources confirm his Hamilton class year of 1817 and his congressional career.
