George

John and Julia Tyler’s son, Gardiner Tyler, wrote to his maternal grandmother in the winter of 1857 about an enslaved man named George who was supposedly going to build him a sleigh. [1]

Judge John Tyler’s 1813 Inventory also lists a man named George, although he could be a different person. [2]
