From John Tyler's birth in 1790 to his last child's death in 1947 is 157 years.

From my great-grandfather's birth in 1835 to his last child's death in 1981 is 146 years. A shorter span but not by much.

That generational span doesn’t sound all that unusual to me. My grandfather was born in 1873. I’m in my late 40’s. His oldest daughter is still alive. His second oldest daughter just passed away on Tuesday of this week. His youngest son, my father, passed away in 2008.
