According to early newspaper chronicles, Tyner lived on Boyd's Creek in Elbert County. One day, (a number of years prior to the Kettle Creek Battle), he was absent from home when a group of Indians, probably Creek, killed his wife, dashed the baby's head against a tree and carried his daughters, Mary and Tamar, off to Coweta. His son, Noah, hid in a tree which was known thereafter as "Noah's Ark."
