The 10th president, John Tyler, was the first president to be widowed, and remarry, while in office, and had the most children of any leader.
Lyon Sr followed in his father's footsteps and married twice, the second time to Sue Ruffin, a woman 35 years his junior.Chatting about his childhood,spoke to Harrison's son, William Tyler, and said:"At 8, he would wake up early to chop wood for fires that heated the house. Their clothing was made from burlap sacks. One night a week, they would run a generator to listen to the radio.
Numerous people commented on the unusual link, with Zelda Krup saying:"The past is never really the past." Jennifer LeFevre commented:"I was amazed when I found this out a few years ago. Add emphasis to the fact that John Tyler was born during Washington's presidency and it blows the mind even more!" Todd Hintz added:"I've heard this before and the numbers add up, but it's still terribly hard to believe."
While Denken Hilft noted:"Imagine: he was born almost 85 years before #Abolition and his grandson is living. That's how close by #Slavery is!"
