    Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924. Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928. They are the sons of Lyon Gardiner Tyler Sr., one of President Tyler's 15 children.

And my father was 75 when I was born, his father was 63 when he was born," Harrison Tyler explained to New York Magazine in 2012.
