Aggy

John Tyler sold Aggy and her daughter Christiana to his brother-in-law, Dr. Henry Curtis, in 1816. [1] The name Aggy also appears in Judge John Tyler’s 1813 Inventory, along with her unnamed child. [2] Given the timeframe, it is possible that President John Tyler inherited Aggy and her child, Christiana, from his father’s estate.
