You have a good story, Mr Pelham.

I didn't know Adams lived to 90. And didn't his wife outlive him? She musta been hella old. I did know that he died on July 4, the very same day as Thomas Jefferson. Which is kinda fascinating if you think about it, for a couple of reasons.

As usual, you ARE the man.

Abigail Adams lived to be 73 and died of typhoid fever.

One of my favorite “age” stories involves the children of President John Tyler, the 10th President of the United States. That’s six before Lincoln by my count.

Anyway, the last time that I checked a couple of his grandsons were still alive. Not his great grandsons, or his great-great-grandsons, but his for real grandsons.

I just checked, Harrison Ruffin Tyler is still with us at 91. Didn’t see anything about his brother.

President Tyler was an interesting guy. One of the four Whigs to be President. He was also elected to the Confederate Congress but died before he could be seated.
