Presidential Free Association: John Tyler

This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation if necessary.




Fertile

John Tyler was married twice. With his first wife Leticia he had eight children. After Leticia's death he married Julia Tyler, who was thirty years his junior, and had seven more children. John Tyler is known as the president with the most progeny, as well as the oldest president to still have living grandchildren to this day. Something tells me his record of fifteen children is safe for the foreseeable future.
