Having a living grandson of John Tyler, the tenth President of the United States, walking the earth is incredible. That’s six presidents before Abraham Lincoln!! John Tyler was born in 1790, only 14 years after Thomas Jefferson scribed the Declaration of Independence!

The story goes like this;

John Tyler, born in 1790, had a son named Ruffin Tyler at age 63. Ruffin Tyler, in turn, had a son named Harrison Tyler at the age of 75!! His son Harrison Ruffin Tyler, the grandson who is alive and well today, is currently 94 years of age.
