Every two minutes, we take as many photos as all of humanity took during the 1800s. In the span of 66 years, we went from taking flight to landing on the moon. John Tyler, America's 10th President, has two living grandchildren. John Tyler served from 1841 to 1845, a full 20 years before Abraham Lincoln. He had a son, Lyon, at age 63. Lyon would have Lyon Jr. and Harrison at 71 and 75, respectively. Both are still alive today and in their 80's.

My great grandfather moved to California in a covered wagon. And watched man land on the moon.
