"President John Tyler's grandsons are still alive!! That's right, two exclamation points because this blows my mind. John Tyler was the 10th President of the United States. He was born in 1790 and took office in 1841. His son, Lyon Gardiner Tyler, was born in 1853, when Tyler was 63 years old. Lyon had six children with two different wives, two of whom were Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. (born 1924 when Lyon Sr. was 71) and Harrison Ruffin Tyler (born 1928 when Lyon Sr. was 75). They are reportedly both still living in their 80s."
"Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes had, in his long lifetime, shaken hands with John Quincy Adams and John F. Kennedy"
And here's an interesting one: a witness to the Lincoln assassination appeared on a game show as a guest in 1956!

When I was in high school I met a lady who was 106 and she told me she was born the year Lincoln was assassinated! That still blows my mind.
