Subject• June 27th tidbits & quotes
John Tyler (28 Mar 1790 - 18 Jan 1862) was the most prolific of all American Presidents: he
had 15 children and two wives. In 1813, Tyler married Letitia Christian, the daughter of a
Virginia planter. They had eight children. She was an invalid when Tyler became president and
made only one public appearance, at her daughter Elizabeth's marriage in 1842. Letitia Christian
Tyler, the President's first wife, died in the White House in September, 1842. A few months later,
Tyler began courting 23-year-old Julia Gardiner, a beautiful and wealthy New Yorker. When they
were married in New York City on June 26, 1844, Tyler became the first president to be wed
while in office. He was 30 years older than his bride. As FIRST LADY, the new Mrs. Tyler
captivated Washington with the size and brilliance of her White House receptions.
