Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis! That actually a pretty cool fact! Thanks for sharing.
Yikes!
Wow, interesting! They don’t make sperm like they used to, unless you’re Rod Stewart, of course.

Here's his "come hither" look--kinda cute; like "blue steel." Would fit right into a rock band.
Those grandsons should be researched. They might be carrying the genetic key to a natural form of Viagra.
My best friend in high school had a grandfather who was a slave.
He made it a point that his grandfather was a FREED slave.
Apparently his father was in his early 80s when he was born.
Most amazing thing....preViagra!
Between my grandfather's grandfather's birth and my grandfather's own death was a span of 197 years--not quite the record of Tyler's grandchildren. My grandfather had a younger sister who outlived him by 4 years--she died 201 years after her grandfather's birth.
As a child, I knew a man (born @ 1890) who claimed that his grandfather, as a baby, had been “bounced on the knee of George Washington.” I always thought the math was a stretch, but he knew approximate dates, places and certainly had the “old-Virginia” lineage to have made it possible.
I was only a young boy, but I thought - how cool! I know a man, who knows a man - who met George Washington!
We are still a young Republic!
As Matthew Spalding from the Heritage Foundation said at the Virginia Tea Party convention in 2010, “we are not that far from our founding.” I bet he didn’t realize how true those words are.
Yep, I understand that one of them lives not far from me in Franklin, TN. I should look him up one of these days...

This is actually one of my favorite points of the history of our young republic. I was telling somone about this a couple weeks ago.
My (living) mother in Houston, was daughter to one—Danial Webster L****— who fought FOR the STATE of Alabama in his
late teens/early 20s. She was 10 when he died at age 90 in 1933.
Far Out! Thanks for the research. I’d love to meet them.
"Last" Confederate Widow Maudie White Hopkins, 93,(2008) died Sunday at age 93, ....Other Confederate widows are still living, but they don’t want any publicity, Martha Boltz of the United Daughters of the Confederacy said Tuesday.
Herman Lehmann , last captive rescued from the Comanche, was autographing pictures in a 1947 Houston movie theater.

Just to put it in perspective, your grandfather was born when George Washington, Wolfgang Mozart and Benjamin Franklin were still alive! Your own father was old enough to remember the Civil War!
That is cool!
Did you know the last surviving veteran of the US Civil War died in 1959?
