Old Man Tyler

Wow.

John Tyler was born in 1790. He became the 10th president of the United States in 1841 after William Henry Harrison died in office. Tyler fathered Lyon Gardiner Tyler in 1853, at age 63.  Then, at the age of 71, Lyon Gardiner Tyler fathered Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. in 1924 and four years later at age 75, Harrison Ruffin Tyler. Both men are still alive today.

That means just three generations of the Tyler family are spread out over more than 200 years.

1. There was a man who died a couple years ago whose father was a Civil War veteran.

2. That’s incredible. I wonder if Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. and Harrison Ruffin Tyler will continue on the family tradition.
