FOURTH GENERATION

10. Robert TYRRELL ⁽¹⁾ was born about 1580 in England. He died on 12 Jun 1643 in Reading, England.
Genealogists differ over the father of this Robert Tyrrell. There are several older researchers who believe Robert is the son of William Tyrrell, of Bruyn & Reading. If that were the case, it would tie our family into the English Kings and Queens and back into French Royalty.
It is tempting to accept that research. But along comes O.F. Brown (The Tyrrells of England; Chapter Nine, Printed in Terrell Trails, Summer 1996). He offers clear evidence that Robert's father is, as we show here, William Tyrrold (or Tirroll) a clothier of Reading, England.
Since we know that is the profession of Robert, and with so many other facts that fit, we are persuaded this is the correct father.
Here are Brown's observations, "The legatees of Robert Tyrrold of Hagbourne in the county of Berkshire, whose will was proved on the 13th August 1545, included his four sons, William, David, Richard & Avery. The executor of the will of David Turrolde, husbandman of West Hagbourne, which was proved on the 15th of January 1577/8 was his only son William. In the will of his son, Willyam Tyrrold, yeoman of West Hagbourne, which was proved on 9th October 1587 by his wife Elizabeth, he left land and goods jointly to her and his son Davy. His other two sons, Francys & Robart, inherited 40 pounds plus land, etc., when they reached age of 21 years provided they leave and yield the land to brother Davy, when he reached 21. One of the overseers of the will of David Torrell of Reading, clothier, the probate date of which was 30th October 1632, was his brother, Robert Torrell of Reading, clothier. The will of Francis Tyrroll of Reading, broadweaver, named his brother, Robert Tyrrell as an overseer and had the probate date of the 2nd of October 1838...There appears little doubt that these three brothers, David, Francis & Robert were the sons of William of West Hagbourne."
The name apparently was TYRROLD or TYRRELL in England; it became Tirrell and Terrell generations later in America. We have chose to show the change at this point, but in truth, the change was much more gradual.

He was married to Jane BALDWIN (daughter of Robert BALDWIN and Joane PIGEONE) on 29 Jun 1617. Jane BALDWIN died on 30 Jan 1661 in Reading, England. She was born in Reading England. Robert TYRRELL and Jane BALDWIN had the following children:
