Here's the
most amazing thing you'll ever read about our 10th president:
John Tyler
was born in 1790. He took office in 1841, after William Henry Harrison died.
And he has two living grandchildren.
Not
great-great-great-grandchildren. Their dad was Tyler’s son.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
The Tyler
men have a habit of having kids very late in life. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, one of
President Tyler’s 15 kids, was born in 1853. He fathered Lyon Gardiner Tyler
Jr. in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler in 1928.
After we shared this fact in 2012, Dan Amira interviewed Harrison Tyler for New York Magazine.
Lyon Tyler recently spoke to the
Daughters of the American Revolution. Snopes is also in on the fact.
