Here we had a thread about the fact that Tyler, who was President from 1841-45, had a living grandson.

Lyon’s brother Harrison, Tyler’s other grandson, survives him.

So Harrison Tyler’s grandfather was born in 1790 and he’s alive today.

Think about that. That’s 230 years.

Men can keep reproducing till we die I guess.

He lived about an hour's drive from here - across the James River.

I worked with a guy who met Harrison and Lyon on a number of occasions. They were friends of the family. I remember doing the age arithmetic when he first mentioned it to me.

@jon-nyc That is awesome! (The story ,not that he died LOL)

I remember that you mentioned this previously, and I thought it was pretty cool.

The closest I know about is a guy I know whose is about 50 y.o. now, and his father was born in 1900.
