Born to L.P. Thygesen (Tyson) and Maria Knag, both natives of Denmark.

He was born with the last name Thygesen, pronounced "Tyson" and therefore the spelling was changed when he arrived in the U.S.

Robert Tyson was born in northern Germany (now southern Denmark) with dual citizenship.

His father traveled from Denmark to California in 1849 and resided continuously there until 1860, becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in San Francisco, California on July 13, 1854.

First married to Carlotta Carson, and with her was the father of two sons.

He was an insurance manager in the shipping field, and later became a banker.

He was divorced, and was next married to Roberta Bliss Boyd on February 28, 1917 at Yuba City, Sutter county, California. She was 17 years his junior, and with her was the father of one daughter, Marie.

His daughter Marie was orphaned in 1922, and was brought up by his second wife's relatives in Yuba City.
