President Tyler's Grandchildren Still Alive-- Part 2


Continued from July 22nd.

That makes three generations of Tyler men spread out over 200 years, quite a long time for just three generations when most families would have at least six to eight generations over that span.

President Tyler was quite the prolific father, having fifteen children (eight boys and seven girls) with two wives. He allegedly fathered John Dunjee with one of his slaves.

Jane Garfield, 99, is the oldest living grandchild of a president, even though Garfield took office 40 years after Tyler. John Eisenhower is the oldest living child of a president and turned 89 this past August (2011).
