John Tyler was the 10th President and died in 1862. He had his youngest child when he was 63, who then went on to father a child when he was 75. Today, there is still one living grandson of a president who ended his term in 1845.

Ah just saw someone beat me to it.

This is simply mind-blowing!

Not too many people today can say their grandfather was born in 1790. I believe the grandson, who is 96, is also related to Pocahontas on his mother's side. 234 years in three people. It's astonishing.

There are plenty of people today who have a living great-grandparent. I tell people that my maternal great-grandfather was born in 1817. His little village in Poland was probably still cleaning up after the Napoleonic Wars!

It looks like only Tommy Brown (1944!) and Bobby Shantz remain of players who played in the 1940's.

Is Tommy Brown's 1949 Bowman the oldest card of a living player now?

Bobby Doerr might hold the title for oldest survivor of card sets. Looks like he is for the 1938 Goudey and 1948/49 Leaf. I wonder if he is also the top dog for the 1939 Play Ball, 1940 Play Ball, 1941 Play Ball and 1941 Double Play?

I believe Doerr was the last living subject of the 1941 Play Ball and Double Play sets. I believe Dario Lodigiani was the last living player from the 1941 Goudey set.

I've told people about that John Tyler fact for years because it's crazy to think someone alive now has a grandfather born in 1790. There's also a grandson (edited to add a granddaughter is also alive) of Grover Cleveland alive. Cleveland was born in 1837, so that's a big difference from John Tyler, but the grandson is 24 years younger than Tyler's grandson, so that cuts away some of that difference.

Back to Tyler. I'm big into family history and my own first/last name has a long history, though it was Johannes originally, not the Americanized John. In comparison to someone who has a grandfather born in 1790, my great-great-great-great grandfather Johannes was also born in 1790. So Tyler's grandson only has me beat by four generations.
