    President John Tyler

    Snopes is one of the first place we go to verify an online rumor.  Susan Louer sent me a link to a claim that President John Tyler’s grandsons are still alive.  Tyler was president from 1841 to 1845.  That is no typo.  It’s actually true.

    As genealogists we know that the length of a generation can vary from family to family.  In Tyler’s family that’s a really long generation.  All it takes is two marriages, younger brides, and late in life babies.

    • Tyler was born in 1790
    • His son Lyon Gardiner Tyler was born in 1853
    • His grandson Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born when his father was 75 in 1928.

    So what’s the longest generation in your family tree?

    To many, the history of the United States can seem long – over two centuries of political discourse, social changes, and frequent fluctuations in just about everything else. The history of our nation, however, is relatively short, especially considering that a grandson of tenth President John Tyler is still alive today. Born in 1928, Harrison Ruffin Tyler is currently ninety-four years old, and resides in the enduring homeland of the Tyler clan – the state of Virginia.

He held this belief during his entire life, but it was especially solidified during his collegiate years spent at the College of William and Mary where he studied law. Political upheaval was constant during the 19th century as the issues of states rights and slavery moved to the political forefront; as abolitionist groups augmented in number, so did the number of staunch supporters of the system of slavery. Tyler was a fervent supporter of states rights, including regarding slavery – when serving in the House of
