    America's 10th President John Tyler lived from 1790 - 1862. He had a son with his second wife who was much younger than him in 1853 named Lyon Tyler who lived from 1853 - 1928. Lyon had a son with his second wife who was also much younger than him in 1928. The grandson (NOT GREAT, GREAT OR EVEN GREAT) just regular grandson is still alive in 2023 at 95 years old. Someone who was born in 1790 has a living grandson in 2023.

    Hey Greg. Do you know the old man and the beaver joke? Are we sure they were the ones who impregnated their wives? Lol

    The Old Man and the Beaver

    An 86-year-old man went to his doctor for his quarterly check-up... The doctor asked him how he was feeling, and the 86-year-old said, "Things are great and I've never felt better. I now have a 20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think about that Doc?"

    The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began to tell a story. "I have an older friend , much like you, who is an avid hunter and never misses a season.One day he was setting off to go hunting. In a bit of a hurry , he accidentally picked up his walking cane instead of his gun. As he neared a lake, he came across a very large male beaver sitting at the water's edge. He realized he'd left his gun at home and so he couldn't shoot the magnificent creature.

    Out of habit he raised his cane , aimed it at the animal as if it were his favorite hunting rifle and went 'bang, bang'."Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver fell over dead. Now, what do you think of that ?" asked the doctor. The 86-year-old said , "Logic would strongly suggest that somebody else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

    The doctor replied, "My point exactly!"

    Love this factoid, but when I first heard it there were two grandsons. One must have since kicked.
