Full Title: Revealed: The grandsons of TENTH president John Tyler are still alive... born 155 YEARS after their grandfather

[nickcarraway]

What about William Henry Harrison?

[Jamestown1630]

That’s quite something to think about. I was always amazed that I could talk to my Grandmother and hear second-hand stories from her mother, about the Civil War.

[Crucial]

That’s amazing

I am 66 , but my mother’s father was born in 1868 just three years after the end of the civil war.

He was 51 when my mother was born in 1919.

Van Buren’s grandchildren demand a recount.

[Larry Lucido]

So did Martin Van Buren have any grandkids?

[Publius]

I dated one of his descendants in the early 70s. She was gorgeous.

My GG Grandfather who rode with Boylstons Mississippi cavalry at Vicksburg etc had a late in life family and his last of 23 total children just died a few years ago in her early 90s

Thomas Raspberry Byrd had three of his last children in his 70s pre ED dope

Three wives he outlived the first two

saw an article on this a year or two ago. The remarkable thing to me is that John Tyler was born in the late 1700’s.
Not many people alive can claim to have a grandparent from that century.

Jefferson Davis was married to a daughter of John Tyler, but she died.

So what. My nephew is the 12th generation male in one line in the U.S. 365 years across the generations.

1700s...

1800s

1900s

2000s

That’s 4 centuries.

What was the most advanced technology of the 1700s? The typewriter? Horse and buggy?

We still have people living lifestyles like in the 1700s, up in Pennsylvania and Ohio.

from the FRchives:

• Tippecanoe and Who? [Granson on Pres John Tyler Lives]
• President John Tyler's grandson working in obscurity at Virginia Tech
• Grandson of America's 10th President (John Tyler) alive and working in obscurity at Virginia Tech
• Former President John Tyler’s (1790-1862) grandchildren still alive

Tyler actually served in the government of a foreign power (CSA) after he had been president. CSA Congress

Harding’s grandchildren are still sitting on his correspondence until 2033. Nixon’s stuff is online, but Harding isn’t dead enough.

She was 30 years his junior at 24.

He couldn't win election today.

They must be direct descendants of Lyon/Lion Gardiner. My ancestor came to America as a soldier with him and others in 1635, built and defended the fort at Old Saybrook, CT. Lyon mentions mine and others several times in an excerpt from his journal.

After that, he went to Long Island and is credited with founding it. Obviously they were socially superior to my ancestors. One of the women has Gardiner as part of her name, "wealthy Long Island family".

Interesting about the span of generations, can't quite wrap my mind around it. My ancestors from the late 1700's are 3rd great or 4th great grandparents.

Ok that is just freakin cool.

This surely Trump’s fault....
