10th U.S. President John Tyler, born in 1790, still has a grandson alive today

[Skooby]

Kind of wild to think about at first. Apparently one of the grandsons died last year:

People Discover President John Tyler, Born in 1790, Has a Living Grandson

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.

Having a child when you’re 75 is wild as fukk to me.

What an interesting fact. I wonder when the last grandchildren of slaves passed.

People look at me crazy when I say my living Grandfather , Grandfather was born a slave and I can still talk with someone who had talked to an actual slave. But this is even crazier

We wrote that at the same time, there are still a few around.

How old is your grandfather and how old are you? Where are you from? He was born a slave?

My father was born in 1963, My grandfather was born in 1929, My great grandmother mother born in 1898 and her father born in 1860 she was the last of like 15 children I believe. My years could be slightly off but I just talked with my grandfather about this a few months ago. I'm originally from Mississippi.

Most non-black people think I'm capping when I say I can still talk to someone who talked to an actual person that was born into slavery in America. My Grandfather use to never talk about but here lately he has been an open book with me about it.

John Tyler was pro-slavery and was for the expansion of slavery in the western territories. I bet his legacy lives on. fukk him.

This is beyond exciting and interesting to me. If you don't mind sharing, what has your Grandfather told you directly about the experiences of slavery to his knowledge?

I get that he wasn't one himself, but his mother was the child of a slave so I'm betting there was a lot of information passed down...

Specifically, what was the lifestyle said to be like? I know everything I've read before but it's more relevant to me to hear an account from someone directly tied to someone else who was a slave!

My mom used to go JTCC in Chester when I was a teenager, this the first time I ever heard he had any living decendants...

I didn't know he had that many kids either, but u use to always hear alota black muhfukkas being descendants of Jefferson...

Yet black folks are told to shut up and keep quiet about slavery, its only black folks that have to ''get over it'' evil devils
