Peter Robinson reminds us of how swiftly time is passing by.
John Tyler, tenth President of the United States, was born on March 28, 1790, in the third year of the United States Constitution.
His son and 14th child, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born on August 24, 1853.
Lyon Tyler’s son and 5th child, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, was born in 1928.
Harrison Tyler is alive today, living in the same home as President Tyler, Sherwood Forest in Charles City, Virginia, one of the mansions portrayed in an excellent coffee table book, Under Live Oaks: The Last Great Houses of the Old South.
