John Tyler was born the son of John Tyler (1747-1813) and Mary Armistead. He was educated at the College of William and Mary and went on to study law with his father, who became Governor of Virginia (1808-1811), and followed his father as governor (1825-1827) after a stint in the United States House of Representatives. During his time as U.S. Senator, Tyler, who had begun as a strict state-rights Democrat, grew increasingly alienated from the Jacksonian Democrats, especially by Jackson's aggressive handling of the South Carolina nullification issue.
