泰勒是最后一位出身烟草种植贵族家庭的美国总统，也是十九世纪最后一位出身于维吉尼亚州的总统；他的家人在老维吉尼亚州内追溯寻根，一直回溯到1650年，他的父亲拥有超过一千英亩的烟草田、还拥有相当多奴隶。

泰勒的父亲是维吉尼亚州长（约翰泰勒则于1825-27担任州长），与汤玛斯杰佛逊相当亲近；约翰泰勒是家中八个小孩中的一个。约翰泰勒在1809年、其父亲成为州长的那一年，作了些什么？

Tyler was the last of the Virginia aristocratic tobacco-planting elite to occupy the White House and was the last of the 19th century presidents to be raised in Virginia. His family traced its roots in the "Old Dominion" (Virginia's nickname) back to the 1650s. His father owned more than 1,000 acres of tobacco fields and many slaves as well.

Tyler's father served as governor of Virginia (as did John Tyler, in 1825-27) and was close to Thomas Jefferson, one of the founders of the "Virginia dynasty," or ruling class. John Tyler was one of eight children. What did John Tyler do in 1809, the year his father became governor of Virginia?
