President Tyler was the fourth President in my trip thru Virginia. In the Picture you can see President Monroe's grave in the back ground. They are buried in what is called Presidents Circle. It looked like President Tyler second wife is buried next to him but does not have her own head stone. Also looked like some of the Presidents family is buried near him.
