You'd be surprised how far back you can go. I'm talking way past Jimmy Carter or someone like that. I reckon there must be a recessive vampire gene in this guy's history.
How far back can you go to find a US President who still has living Grand-kids?

It's got to be John Tyler's grandchild, I heard about this guy a couple years ago.

In a way it's not too shocking when you consider that men can father children well into their 70's. My grandfather was born in the late 1800's and served in WW1 (he was already too old for WW2). And I'm not even old...yet.

...explains the wrist pain though ya old fart....
Same with me. My grandfather was born in 1887. He married my grandmother when he was in his late forties and she was seventeen. (Remember-- they lived in Appalachia.
)Here's an interesting story about a wife long outliving her husband:
James Longstreet was a famous Confederate General in the Civil War. When he was seventy-six he married his second wife, who was thirty-four. He died in 1904 but she didn't die until 1962. She was ninety-nine at the time of her death and John F. Kennedy was president.
Who the heck is John Tyler? Excuse me for not knowing. I know of a Wat Tyler but he lived in England...
John Tyler was the tenth president of the United States (1841-1845)
