Interesting presidential fact.....
 
Interesting fact: John Tyler became the 10th president of the United States in 1841 -- and today, incredibly, he still has two living grandchildren. Tyler, who lived from 1790-1862, had 15 children during his lifetime, making him the most prolific president. One of his children, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, born in 1853, fathered Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. in 1924 and Harrison Ruffin Tyler in 1928, according to Sherwood Forest Plantation Foundation, the home of President Tyler. Both men -- Tyler's grandchildren -- are still alive.

I remember back in the 50's one of these guys was on "I've Got A Secret." Nobody guessed his (that Tyler was his grandfather).

If Lyon, Sr. was born in 1853 and fathered Lyon, Jr, in 1924 that means he fathered his first child and 71 and his second at 75. WOW.
