How many children did President John Tyler father?
Correct answer: 15
Nutshell
This reminds me of a minivan I saw in Utah with those family stickers on the back window and it was husband, wife, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, kid, baby, dog. Someone had written in the dust on their back window, "Oh My Gosh! Get OFF of Her!!!" 😂

I was worried when I read "daughter-in-law" stepped in. I thought "EW! don't say it!" Phew!

Two of his grandsons are still alive. He is the earliest former president with living grandchildren

Player #2395057, They say 1 in 200 people are related to Ghengis Khan, but they also say that 1 in 100 are related to John Tyler. In 200 years, maybe 1 in 50 people will be related to Steven Tyler.....

he was trying to father half the country instead of being the country's father

That's right! They didn't have TV back then and No birth control. Probably No doctors told them to abstain 4 awhile 2 allow her body 2 heal. Also once her body is used 2 being pregnant, it's very Easy 2 get pregnant again within the first year. And with no birth control, what do u expect??
Andi
Wowzer!! Ur right, he was a busy man!! However, we have present day people like that. Does Anybody remember Octo-Mom?? And who can forget The Famous Duggan family!!
Stevie

He had children in old age, so did one of his sons. President Tyler was born when George Washinton was President. One of his grandsons has died, so only one remains, but their legacy has lasted centuries.

Player #118103951, My maternal grandmother came from a family of 13 and she was the youngest born in open waters on the boat to America from England. My great grandparents had to get a green card for her as she didn’t have citizenship in either England or American. We used to say she was from Atlanta because she was born over the Atlantic Ocean. LOL Unfortunately none of her or her siblings are surviving any longer. She was born in 1909.

It was common up until recently to have large families. My father, born in 1915, came from a family of 12 kids.
Player #118103951
Nutshell, that's hilarious! My Great Grandama was the eldest of fourteen children. When she got married she had ONE child. My Nana.
