You might find this of interest as well. I am reminded of this longevity factlet:

President John Tyler Has 2 Living Grandsons (as of April 2017)

Here is how it works:

President John Tyler, was born in 1790, died in 1862.

Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr., one of President Tyler's 15 children. Was born in 1853 (His father was 63)

Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924. Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. Their father was 71 and 75 when they were born.

Both were still alive in 2017

Many Freepers are old enough that they could have met former slaves.

Some Freepers could have met people who remembered the news of Gen. Custer at Little Bighorn.

Some Freepers have grandparents who could have sat on the lap of people having living memory of our founding fathers.
