240/4 = 60. Seems about right when you think about it.

My favorite presidential trivia is that John Tyler (10th President 1841-1845...born 1790) still has two living grandsons.

That is amazing... almost like the 6 degrees of separation deal. I wonder how many presidents have actually met and spoken to other presidents.

Yes - very cool once you think about it. Thanks for sharing the find!

FWIW The title of "President" was chosen over other titles like "king" or "emperor" because at the time the word lacked the significance the it holds today and referred to someone who simply presided over a meeting. Now, of course the word conveys a much more lofty position.

And grandsons of the tenth president are still alive...
