You can see the resemblance


As of March 2018, John Tyler, our 1oth President,  has two living grandsons through his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler, making him the earliest former president with living grandchildren. Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924, and Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. Lyon Tyler Jr. resides in Franklin, Tennessee, and Harrison Tyler maintains the family home, Sherwood Forest Plantation, in Charles City County, Virginia.

They are the sons of Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr., one of President Tyler’s 15 children.

Harrison Tyler, the youngest grandson, was born when his father was 75.  His father LGT Sr., was born when President Tyler was 63.  A family of randy oldsters!

  1. Inspirations for me. Although I was nowhere near besting their fine records my daughter was born when I was just shy of 54.

  2. we don't call them 'randy oldsters', we call them 'patriarchs'.
