Early Life
Julia Gardiner Tyler was born in 1820 on Gardiner's Island off the eastern tip of Long Island, New York. She was the daughter of Juliana McLachlan-Gardiner and David Gardiner, a prominent landowner and New York State Senator from 1824 to 1828. Julia was raised in the New York town of East Hampton as well as in the small hamlet of Bay Shore, Long Island (Bay Shore was called Penataquit until 1868, and even earlier, Awixa). At the age of 19, she shocked polite society by posing for a department store advertisement that billed her as the "Rose of Long Island".
