Pres Tyler's grandson

It is a little hard to wrap my mind around the fact that John
Tyler left office just over 180 years ago, yet his last grandson
died this week.

I'm doing the math on that and then it doesn't seem as
impossible. I know Tyler had more kids after he left office (cuz
he had a LOT of kids) so if he had one 10 years after he left
office, that leaves 170 years... if that was a son who had one
of his own children late in life, in his 60s, knock off 65 years
or so, and that child would just have to live to 105... older
than dirt but not totally impossible.

Here ya go. MSN did the math!
"President John Tyler was 63 years old when Harrison Tyler’s
father, Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr., was born. And Harrison Ruffin
Tyler was born in 1928 when that father was 75 years old and the
presidential grandfather had been dead for more than 60 years."

Tyler was born March 29, 1790, not quite 2 years after the
Constitution was ratified. So 3 generations covered 235 of the
237 years our nation has been in existence.

What are you doing in here? I thought you were allergic to math?

Great minds think alike?
I just read this article and came here to post - I see someone
beat me to this wild story:
"Harrison Ruffin Tyler, grandson of the 10th U.S. president,
dies at 96"
