Synopsis. John Tyler was born on March 29, 1790, in Charles City County, Virginia. Like his father, Tyler served as governor of Virginia. Representing the Whig Party, he was the first vice president to become president due the death of his predecessor (President William Henry Harrison).
Tyler was born on a Virginia plantation in 1790. He left the family farm to become a lawyer and was soon serving in the Virginia legislature. In 1816, he was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and in 1840 became vice president under William Henry Harrison, who died 32 days after his inauguration.
