It's always fascinating to me how close to the past we really are. There are living children of Civil War veterans and slaves. John Tyler has 2 living grandchildren.

Sure, most of these oddities were caused by dirty old men marrying women decades younger than them, but, still interesting.

That’s kind of disgusting that her dad was 83 and her mom was 34(and mentally disabled) when she was born.
