Fifteen Children
John Tyler is the father of 15 children, in case you didn’t know. As a result, he is the president with the most children! They were all born between 1815 and 1860 and were the children of two different wives. His first eight children were born to his first wife, Letitia Tyler, and his last seven were born to Julia Gardiner, his second wife.

Millard Fillmore – 149
Before the Whig Party was disbanded, Millard Fillmore served as president. He was born into a poor family and rose through the ranks of the government to become Vice President during President Zachary Taylor’s term. Fillmore became the 13th president after the incumbent president died of cholera in 1850. Following Taylor’s death, all of the White House cabinet members resigned immediately, leaving Fillmore to rebuild the White House from the ground up. While his IQ of 149 is on the low end of the presidential range, it’s far from insignificant. He tried but failed to prevent tension between the North and the South by signing the 1850 Compromise from 1850 to 1853. He also assisted in the development of contact with Japan, which was still isolated at the time. Japan began allowing American ships to dock in the country in the event of an emergency during his presidency.
