John Tyler (1790-1862), 10th US president had his last child at age 70. His last grandchild died May 2025. Not sure if he was a CoM member but pretty sure he would win if he was. 

To be clear, his child’s last grandchild. Not Tyler’s last grandchild.

The question is "Who had the oldest parents?".

According to AI..."to have someone" means to have sex with them. 

I had a 62 year old Daddy once on a cruise.  And I know he was a parent, because he made a comment that both of his sons were older than I was.  So, he was the oldest parent that I ever "had".

Grandson of John Tyler

 

Harrison Ruffin Tyler (1928–2025) was the last surviving grandson of the 10th U.S. President, John Tyler. Born when his father was 75, he maintained a rare, direct link to the 18th century, as his grandfather was born in 1790. He was a retired industrial chemist, conservationist, and owner of the Sherwood Forest

Both my grandfathers died in 1929.  I believe they both missed the Depression.  I've never missed either of them.

You wrote Pres. Tyler was 70 when he had his last child, in 1860. This son had his last child when he was 75. That would be in 1935, not 1928. Why the discrepancy?

Probably TMI, but since you asked, Lyon Gardiner Tyler (1853-1935) was John Tyler’s son and Harrison Ruffin Tyler’s father. The first date was an AI source second was Wikipedia  

LG Tyler married twice. His first wife was Anne Baker Tucker of Albemarle County, with whom he had three children: John Tyler; Elizabeth Gilmer Tyler; and Julia Gardiner Tyler Wilson, one of the founders of Kappa Delta.^[1]

Following Anne's death in 1921, Tyler married Sue Ruffin, daughter of John A. Ruffin and 36 years Tyler's junior^{[citation needed]}, on September 12, 1923.^[12][16]They had three children: Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. (1925–2020);^[17][18] Harrison Ruffin Tyler (1928–2025); and Henry Tyler, who died in infancy in 1931.^[19] In late August 2018, Lyon Jr. participated in a reunion of presidential descendants hosted by the White House Historical Association, and signed, along with other presidential descendants, a drawer from a copy of the Resolute Desk.^[20]

 

^{The Tyler’s are famous for hardwoods, Sherwood Plantation, the Resolute Desk and apparently their personal hardwood which served them well into old age.}

The only thing I would say is consider the sources. A.I. and Wikipedia. I am an historian and for anything I publish I check census data, birth and death certificates and other primary sources. I would never rely on the sources you cited.

My grandmother had a fairly illustrious lineage - interesting when you consider the fact that she was an ordinary farm wife in upstate New York.   She was a direct descendent of Walter Palmer - a founder of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and she had two Revolutionary War heroes in her lineage  - both from the Babcock family.

All this talk about John Tyler reminded me that my paternal grandfather, whom I knew well, had been a protege of Teddy Roosevelt, and in the 19th century Roosevelt got him nominated for a seat in the NY state legislature at the ripe old age of 29. I still have some of his campaign materials (he lost the election).
