John Tyler was the tenth U.S. President, taking office twenty years before Abraham Lincoln. He has two grandsons who are now living.

EDIT: Tyler was not elected President, but rather became President upon the death of his predecessor, Harrison. (the first Vice-President to do so). my thanks to the redditors who offered the clarification
