President Tyler's Grandchildren Still Alive-- Part 1

Well, as late as 2011, anyway.

President John Tyler (1790-1862) was born 221 years ago, but still has two living grandchildren.  He served one term as president before the Civil War and is not very well known other than pushing through Texas annexation in 1845, shortly before he left office (one of the reasons for the Mexican War).

He is known for fathering children late in life.

Tyler was the 10th president, serving from 1841 to 1845 after Willima Henry Harrison died in office.

Lyon Gardiner Tyler became his son in 1853 when John Tyler was 63.    Lyon Tyler, in turn, fathered a Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr in 1924 and four years later, at age 75, along came Harrison Ruffin Tyler.  As of 2011, both were still alive.
