I was reading the other day that a grandchild of President John Tyler, born in 1794, was still alive. I looked it up and it was true.
the wiki article is two years old:
According to the Wikipedia article on John Tyler (1790–1862), Tyler had, by his second wife, Julia Gardiner Tyler (born 1820), a son, Lyon Gardiner Tyler (1853-1935). It says that Harrison Ruffin Tyler, a son of Lyon, was born in 1928 (when Lyon was 75) and is still alive.
So, John Tyler at age 63 had a son Lyon Gardiner Tyler, and Lyon Gardiner Tyler at age 75 had a son Harrison Ruffin Tyler, and Harrison is about 80 and still alive. 63 plus 75 plus 80 equals 208 years. Three generations span the years from 1790 and 2009. Amazing.
So, I am wondering if there are any grandchildren still alive of someone born in 1776? That would be 226 yrs ago. 70 yrs old + 70 + 86 (grandchild) = 226.
Looks like it is feasible. It would take two consecutive generations having children very late in life (old man, young woman) plus a long living grandchild.
