About ten years ago, I remember hearing that Tyler’s grandson was still alive.
I thought it was a typo. It was not.
John Tyler was born on March 29, 1790. (This was less than a year after Washington was inaugurated. )
He was in office from 1841 to 1845, and he died on January 18, 1862 during the civil war.
Tyler fathered more children than any other American president. He had 8 children with his first wife and 7 with his second wife.
One of the children from Tyler’s second marriage was Lyon Tyler who was born in 1853. Lyon remarried after his first wife died in 1921 and one of his children was Harrison Tyler who was born on November 9, 1928.
One of President Tyler’s other grandsons was wounded during Pickett’s charge.
