This Week in History
On June 26, 1844, President John Tyler married Julia Gardiner in New York City. In its June 27 edition, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “The bride is said to be accomplished, beautiful, interesting, an heiress, and 22 — the President, on the other hand, is known to be as homely as a brush fence, and 55 years of age, being a difference of 33. Some of his children, therefore, are probably many years older than their step-mother.� President John Tyler Library of Congress photo via Wikimedia Commons Tyler, the 10th president (1841-45), was born in 1790 and died in 1862. He and his first wife Letitia (1790-1842) had eight children. He and Julia Gardiner had seven children. Their son Lyon (1853-1935) was married twice, the second time to Sue Ruffin, who was 35 years his junior. Lyon and Sue had three sons, two of whom — Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. (born 1924) and Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born 1928) — are still living.
