President John Tyler Still Has One Living Grandchild — Seriously
Despite being one of the most forgotten presidents in history, President John Tyler still has one living grandchild - seriously. In 1892, Tyler’s great-granddaughter, Alice Liddell Hart, married Labour MP and author Arthur Hugh Clough. They had two children — a daughter, Helen (born 1895), and a son, John (born 1899). Sadly, Helen died young in 1904 from tuberculosis. But despite this tragedy, the Taylors were able to keep in touch with their great-grandson through letters until John’s death in 1960.
After his death, Alice put all of her papers relating to her family into storage and never looked at them again. But after her death in 1984, her granddaughter discovered the letters and decided to release them to the public. As a result of this discovery - and thanks to Alice’s will - we now have an excellent glimpse into life during the Victorian era as well as some fascinating insights into presidential families.

Conclusion
Even though President John Tyler died in 1841, he still has one living grandchild — and his name is Charles Darwin. According to ancestry.com, Tyler fathered a child with an enslaved woman named Lucy Green in 1795, before he became president. The illegitimate son was born three years later and given the surname of his father’s political opponent, John Adams. After Tyler’s death, Lucy married Henry Green (an ancestor of Charles Darwin) and they raised Darwin as their own son. So even though Tyler never held office again after leaving the White House, he still had a direct impact on one of history’s most important thinkers.
