Believe It Or Not (No Google Before Guessing)

John Tyler, who was US President from 1841 to 1845 has a grandson who is still alive.  Yes or No?

[Dan Miller]

Absolutely no clue ... but would be suprised if you mean Steven Tyler

Would depend on age of youngest child and date he/she was born......could also have adopted a child when he was very old...........so I say yes.

Or he could have been a monger, came to thailand or philippines at age 75 and knocked up a 18 year old girl........she had a boy, that did the same thing......so yes possible

If he was 30 years old when he was elected and had his last child at the age of 70, then the child would be born in 1881. 
If this son had a son at the age of 70, the son would have been born in 1951 and he woul be now 73 years old.
So it seems possible but I don't believe it.  I guess no.

John Tyler was born in 1790.

So if he had a child at 70, the child was born in 1860. If the child had a son at 70, Tyler's grandson would be born in 1930 and would be 93 or 94 years old. Although it seems possible using mathematics I can't belive it's true.

We have a winner!

John Tyler was born in 1790 and had 15 children (the record for a US president). One of those 15 children, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born in 1853 when Tyler was 63. Just like his father, Lyon Gardiner Tyler would go on to have children into his twilight years, and in 1928, at the age of 75, he sired Harrison Ruffin Tyler.

In spanning the years 1790 to 2023, these three men have witnessed nearly the whole of United States history.
