It's a history fact so I am not sure how it will play out but here it is...
The 10th President of the United States John Tyler (President from 1841 to 1845) was born in 1790 or 14 years after the founding of the US. He still has a GRANDSON alive named Harrison Ruffin Tyler! It was pretty big news a few years ago in 2020 when Harrison Ruffin Tyler's brother, Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr., died. It just goes on to show you how weird time can be that a guy born 234 years ago has a GRANDKID alive! He's 95 now btw!
Heres an article from the Smithsonian about it!
