This question does not make any sense to me, you have to decide first which one is the first generation? To me I count in Winnie Reginald Bray, which already sent out mail art from 1897 on till his death in 1939. o.k. he has not the mail art network in mind, but I would not got so far, Ray Johnson had also no real network in mind. Mail Art depends not only to a network.
So we come in the end to the question "what is mail art"

PS: Bye the way since last year there is a nice book about W.R. Bray - the englischman who posted himself
In 1939 nobody knew of the term Mail-Art. This is obviously zero generation. They did it before it got a name.
the term "mail art" was invented in the early 1970ies, so after your argumentation Ray Johnson is zero generation as well - that's why this question does not make any sense to me - so who is the first generation up to you? who the second and so on....
up to me I'm no generation
by the the way, in art history often a historical period got its name long after it has been really started
early 70ies they decribed this as mail-art (correspondance school).
In the electronic communication fields things go faster than in art history. New terms are introduced within a year.
