The Daily Dispatch: April 10, 1863., [Electronic resource], Remarkable longevity. (search)
ondent of the Charleston Courier, noting this case of extreme longevity, says: About sixteen years ago I first became acquainted with this lady, then quite communicative. She did not remember the year in which she was born, but recollected the principal events of the Revolution and observed that she was about forty years of age at its commencement. In reply to my inquiry she said that the distinctly remembered the French and Indian war, or Braddock's war, as it was called by the common people at the time; that she was then about twenty-four years of age, being a married woman with two children. She must have been born about the same time that Washington was, for he was then twenty-four years of age, having been born in 1732, and Braddock's defeat occurred in 1753. She became totally blind about forty five years ago, but did not entirely lose her hearing until about a year since. She retained her memory to the last, and appeared very anxious to know the results of the war.
