Lineage
I was hoping for more family history with this book. I've been looking for years for Pres. Tyler's parents, his father's siblings and forward ancestry, in hopes to open a snag I have in my mom's Tyler line, as her ggrandfather was a first cousin to Pres.

The three-page sketch in American National Biography provides a far more accurate understanding of the tenth president and his administration.
