About Priscilla Cooper Tyler
Elizabeth Priscilla Cooper Tyler was the official White House hostess and first lady of the United States from 1841 to 1844. She was a daughter-in-law of then-president John Tyler through her marriage to his son Robert Tyler. She assumed the first lady's responsibilities at the beginning of the Tyler administration, working in the stead of her mother-in-law, first lady Letitia Christian Tyler, who was too ill to do so herself. After Letitia Tyler's death in September 1842, Priscilla Tyler was effectively the first lady, overseeing social affairs in the White House.
