Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[RJNorton]

Kudos to all. John Tyler is correct. With respect to his place of burial, he stated in his will:

"My wife will select the spot on Sherwood Forest and mark it by an uncostly monument of granite or marble."

However, he was not buried there. Louis L. Picone explains in The President is Dead!

"But, despite his instructions, on the day he died, a resolution was passed in the General Assembly to bury Tyler in the Confederate capital: "With the consent of his family, his remains be deposited in Hollywood Cemetery, in the city of Richmond, near the remains of James Monroe, and that the Governor of this State be authorized a suitable monument to be erected to his memory."

Julia Tyler accepted.
