You do know that John Tyler died in 1862, right?
True. But, due to the fact that Tyler married a second time in 1844- and had a son born in 1853.The old boy fathered a son at 63 and died age 72 in 1862.
What is truly amazing is that Tyler today has two LIVING GRANDSONS through his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler (1853–1935). They are: Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr., was born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. Harrison Tyler lives at and maintains the ancestral family plantation home, Sherwood Forest, in Virginia.
Imagine what the country must look like to these two men, whose grandfather was President,and was born 14 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. A living history.
Deo Vindice.
