Did You Know John Tyler's Grandchildren Are Still Alive?

Yes, he may look someone from Whoville, but that doesn't change the fact that our tenth President of the United States, John Tyler, was born in 1790. 1790. He died in 1862 and also fathered fifteen children. His first was born in 1815 and his eighth was born in 1860. His last living child, Pearl, died in 1947 after being born in 1860. He fathered so many kids at so many different times that he still has two living grandchildren. His son, Lyon Tyler died in 1935, but not before producing Lyon Jr. and Harrison Tyler, both of whom are still living today. It's a great fact, but also very strange that two grandchildren from the tenth Preezy are still alive. Great, but odd.

  1. That is an extremely odd little fact. Funny how it works out that way. So bizarre!
