Wow. Talk about outside confirmation.
President John Tyler (1790 - 1862) , 10 th president of US, who succeeded to the office in1841 when William Henry Harrison died only a month into his term
Tyler remarried in the 1850 and had children by this marriage
His children remarried in the 1920’s and had children from this marriage aka Tyler’s Grandchildren born in the 1920’s almost a 150 years after their grandfather birth
one is still alive in 2022

I’m disappointed. I was hoping he’d be named Tippecanoe N. Tyler III.
Fifty years ago, I dated a lady who was descended from John Tyler on her mother’s side and Meriwether Lewis on her father’s side.
The last widow of a confederate soldier died just two years ago.
Helen Viola Jackson (August 3, 1919 – December 16, 2020) was the last surviving widow of a Union soldier and the last surviving widow of a Civil War veteran overall; she died on December 16, 2020, at the age of 101.
I remember when the death of her husband was in the paper. The Civil War was still talked about when I was young.
Sorry. I missed “union”. I remember reading about the death of the last Confederate soldier, leaving an extremely young widow.
same here, but my relatives called it the war of Northern Aggression.
Did he like the Play?
Our American Cousin sounds a bit above the head of a six-year-old. But let’s see for ourselves.

I think there’s one left, but President Tyler’s grandson is still alive. Tyler was president in 1841. I believe it was within the last 10-20 years that the last Civil War spouse passed away.
