Robert Fitzwater "Fitz" Tyler, 1856-1927. He lived in Hanover County, Virginia, where he was a farmer. Pearl Tyler, 1860-1947. Born when her father was 70 years old, she never got to know her father. Her father died in a Richmond hotel room, where he was staying waiting to be sworn in as a member of the Confederate House of Representatives. At the age of 12, she and her mother converted to Roman Catholicism. She married William Ellis, who had been a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. They lived near Roanoke, Virginia. Most of John Tyler's many children lived quiet, productive lives. A few became political leaders like their father. They are remembered at all mainly because their father managed to have a record number of presidential children. No other President has even come close to this record.
