Living American supercentenarians
Below is a list of the oldest living people from the United States. Those listed as "verified" have been validated by an international body that specifically deals in longevity research, such as the Gerontology Research Group. Those listed as 'pending' have provided at least one document supporting the claimed age but not the three necessary for validation. Those that are 'unverified' have provided no documents to support the age claimed.
The oldest person on this list is also the oldest living person and the oldest man on the list is also the oldest living man.

Oldest American person by state
This is a list of the oldest people by birth from each U.S. state. The United States has the world's largest validated supercentenarian population. The records largely reflect population distribution and systems of recordkeeping 110 or more years ago, when several states didn't yet exist. States farther west thus have fewer verified recordholders.

People
Ann Pouder
Ann Pouder née Ann Alexander (London, United Kingdom April 8, 1807 – Baltimore, Maryland, United States July 10, 1917) was one of the first recognized supercentenarians in the world. Her age at death was 110 years, 93 days.[27] When Pouder was twelve years old her family immigrated to the United States. There she lived the following 98 years of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. She married, although became a widow very early and had no children. Her extreme longevity claim was certified by Alexander Graham Bell.[28] In her last few months, she was bedridden, blind and almost deaf, but her mind remained sharp.[29]
Delina Filkins
Martha Graham
Martha Graham (December 1844 – June 25, 1959) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest person ever recorded, a title she held until the 1980s, when she was surpassed by Shigechiyo Izumi.
Little is known about Graham's life. She was born in December 1844 into slavery.[30][31] Upon the death of Betsy Baker on October 24, 1955, Graham became both the oldest person in the United States and the oldest person in the entire world.[31] Sometime in July 1958, Graham surpassed Delina Filkins's 1928 record as the oldest person ever recorded.[32]
On June 25, 1959, Graham died, aged 114 years c. 180 days in Fayetteville, North Carolina.[30] Initially the Guinness Book of World Records believed her to have been 117 or 118 when she died, but this has since been proven false.[30][31] Succeeding her as oldest person alive was James Henry Brett, Jr., similarly from the United States.[33]
Fannie Thomas
Fannie Leona Thomas (April 14?, 1867 – January 22, 1981)[34] was listed in Guinness World Records as the oldest living American supercentenarian. As the Shigechiyo Izumi case was later disputed, Thomas may in fact have been the world's oldest person when she died at 113 years and 283? days.[citation needed] Regardless, she was still the world's oldest living woman at the time of her death.
Thomas is listed as one of the 100 longest lived people ever.
Mary McKinney
Mary Elizabeth "Mamie"[35] McKinney née Wallace (May 30, 1873 – February 2, 1987) was briefly recognized by Guinness as the world's oldest person. Following the death of fellow 113-year-old Mamie Eva Keith in September 1986, she became the "world's oldest person" according to the Guinness Book of Records. However, her own death five months later in Sacramento, California meant that she never appeared in the record book, even though her Guinness recognition made the news. She lived for 113 years and 248 days.
As of 2009, McKinney is listed in the addendum of the 100 longest lived people ever.
Florence Knapp
Florence Knapp (October 10, 1873 – January 11, 1988) was, for the last two weeks of her life, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person in the world.
Born in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, she lived in nearby Montgomery Square much of her life and came from a large and long-lived family, eight of her siblings dying in their 80s and 90s and one sister reaching age 108.
By October 1987, when she was honored by the Pennsylvania legislature, she was recognized by Guinness as the oldest person in the United States, and the death of Anna Eliza Williams on December 27, 1987 meant that Knapp became the oldest verified recognized living person. Her death just 15 days after meant that she never appeared in a Guinness Book as the oldest living person.
Her death caused some confusion as to who her successor was, with Guinness recognition and press publicity alighting first on Orpha Nusbaum (August 1875 – March 1988), who died before the 1989 edition's deadline, then Birdie May Vogt (August 1876 – July 1989), who appeared in the 1989 edition's main text, then Jeanne Calment, mentioned in the addenda section, and finally in November 1988 on Carrie C. White, whose claim to birth in November 1874 was accepted. However, with recent census research calling White's authentication into question, Calment may very well have been Florence Knapp's actual immediate successor.
As of December 2009, Knapp is listed as one of the 70 longest lived people ever and her lifespan is tied with that of Elena Slough.
Carrie C. White
Carrie C. White, née Joyner (November 18, 1874? – February 14, 1991), was recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest person in the world around the time she celebrated her alleged 114th birthday in 1988.
A resident of a Palatka, Florida nursing home, she had been institutionalized since a nervous breakdown in 1909, about the time of her divorce. Her documentation was described as impeccable, but recent research has indicated she might in fact have been 21 rather than 35 when she was admitted, meaning she may have died at 102 (instead of 116).[36]
If this is the case, Jeanne Calment became the world's oldest living person not when Carrie White died February 14, 1991, (one week short of 116) (considered the holder of the United States longevity record until it was first broken by Lucy Hannah, then later by Sarah Knauss), but immediately on the death of Florence Knapp (even if White's differental was only of one year) in January 1988. However, the 1900 Census match could not be considered an unequivocal identification.
As of December 2009, White is listed as one of the 10 longest lived people ever.
Joe Thomas
Joseph "Joe" Thomas (May 1, 1875 – December 14, 1986) was an American supercentenarian and the oldest recognized living man from February 1986 until his own death. He lived in Louisiana. Following his death, Herman Smith-Johannsen became the world's oldest living man.
(Note: this is a retroactive reconstruction of history. In reality, the Joe Thomas case was not verified until July 2002 by the SSA study, and Guinness did not recuperate the "oldest living man" category until 2000).
Ettie Mae Greene
Wilhelmina Geringer Kott
Wilhelmina Kott née Geringer (March 7, 1880 – September 6, 1994) was an American supercentenarian recognized by Guinness World Records as the 'oldest living American' in its 1995 edition, following the death of Margaret Skeete. Born in Peru, Illinois as one of 16 children to George and Sophia Geringer, she moved to Chicago in 1881, where she lived almost her entire life and subsequently died.
Her age was subject to a one-year discrepancy. Guinness recognized her as born in 1879 (based on the 1900 Census), but later research by the SSA study showed that she was listed as two months old in the 1880 Census, making her age more likely 114, not 115.
As of December 2009, Kott is listed as one of the 50 longest lived people ever.
Mary Electa Bidwell
Carrie Lazenby
Carrie Lazenby née Jenkins (February 9, 1882 – September 14, 1996) was an American supercentenarian. She died at age 114 years 218 days, making her the 34th oldest person on record (tied with Japanese woman Ura Koyama on April 5, 2005), the sixteenth-oldest American person on record, and the seventh-oldest African American person on record. Lazenby's record as the oldest person ever in Georgia was surpassed by Gertrude Baines, on November 11, 2008.
As of December 2009, Lazenby is listed as one of the 40 longest lived people ever.
Maggie Barnes
Maggie Pauline Barnes née Hinnant (March 6, 1882 – January 19, 1998)[37] was an American supercentenarian. She was a resident of Johnston County, North Carolina. Barnes died from complications following a minor foot infection.[38] Barnes, who was born to a slave and married a tenant farmer, was survived by four children; 11 of her children preceded her in death.[38]
Some dispute exists as to her date of birth. Though the family Bible gives the 1882 date, she is listed as having been born in 1881 by the 1900 US Census, and she is listed as having been born in 1880 on her marriage license.[38] Authenticating to the latter of those dates, Barnes was 115 years, 319 days old when she died.
If the cases of Shigechiyo Izumi, Carrie C. White and Kamato Hongo are excluded, Barnes is the 8th oldest person on record.
As of December 2009, Barnes is listed as one of the 15 longest lived people ever.
Mathew Beard
Mathew Beard (July 9, 1870 - February 16, 1985) was an American supercentenarian and the oldest person from the state of Virginia. However, his case is disputed. He is the oldest American-born male, leaving Walter Breuning as the oldest undisputed American-born male. The oldest undisputed person from Virginia is Agatha Mitchell.
At the time of Beard's death, he was the second oldest man ever. Today, he is the fourth oldest man ever. He is also the oldest man to not have held the title of oldest living man.
He is also the second oldest person to die in Florida, being surpassed only by the also disputed case of Carrie C. White. Shigechiyo Izumi was the oldest living man (and person) at the time of Beard's death. Shigechiyo Izumi's case is also disputed.
Beard was also the first recorded man to die at the age of 114. He was also the last surviving person born in 1870.
As of October 2010, Beard is one of the 40 oldest people ever.
Clara Huhn
Clara Huhn née Herling (January 28, 1887 – December 20, 2000) was an American homemaker and supercentenarian. Born near Clarkson, Nebraska, she lived near Schuyler for most of her life. She remained active, healthy and independent until the last few months of her life, and even answered an interview just before her 113th birthday. At age 113 years 327 days, she is the oldest person on record born in Nebraska, but she was not the oldest person on record to die in that particular state, since she died in La Mesa, California. The title of the oldest person on record to die in Nebraska belongs to Helen Stetter, who died on June 1, 2007 at age 113 years 195 days.[39]
As of December 2009, Huhn is listed as one of the 90 longest lived people ever.
Delvina Dahlheimer
Mary Delvina Dahlheimer née Morissette (December 31, 1888 – March 13, 2002) was an American supercentenarian. At the time of her death, aged 113 years and 72 days, she was the oldest person ever in Minnesota, and the fourth-oldest person in the world.[citation needed] After she broke her hip in 2000, she was sent to the Guardian Angels Care Center, where she lived out the rest of her days.[citation needed] Dahlheimer's Minnesota state record title was surpassed by Catherine Hagel on February 9, 2008. Incidentally, Hagel was the sister-in-law of Dahlheimer. Hagel died on December 6, 2008 aged 114, the third-oldest living person in the world at the time.
Mae Harrington
Mae Harrington née Maxwell (January 20, 1889 – December 29, 2002) was an American supercentenarian who became the oldest person in the history of the state of New York, breaking the record held since the 1920s by then world's oldest person Delina Filkins, also 113, but her own record was subsequently broken in 2005 by Grace Thaxton, who was born in the state before moving to and dying in Kentucky. Because her age was not authenticated during her lifetime, the public recognition she was due went to another 113-year-old, Mary Parr (January 29, 1889 – October 29, 2002), who was born nine days after her, dying two months before her, as her age was only validated posthumously.[40]
As of December 2009, Harrington is listed as one of the 80 longest lived people ever. At her death, Harrington was the oldest living person in the United States, and may have been the oldest living person (the case of Kamato Hongo remains doubtful). After her death, Mary Christian became the oldest living person in the United States, and if the questionable case of Kamato Hongo is excluded, Yukichi Chuganji would have became the oldest living person, and the first man to hold that title since the disputed Shigechiyo Izumi held the title for nearly a decade.
Elena Slough
Elena Proctor Slough née Rodenbaugh (July 4, 1889 – October 5, 2003)[41] was the oldest recognized person in the United States from the death of Mary Christian on April 20, 2003 until Slough's own death that following October, six months later. After her death, the oldest recognized person in the United States was Charlotte Benkner.[41]
Born in Horsham, Pennsylvania, she married twice and had children by each marriage.[citation needed] Incidentally, her 90-year-old daughter died three days before her at the same Cape May, New Jersey nursing home.[citation needed]
Some sources date her birth to 1888, but the oldest records state that she was born in 1889.[42]
As of December 2009, Slough is listed as one of the 70 longest lived people ever.
Bettie Wilson
Bettie Antry Wilson née Rutherford (September 13, 1890 – February 13, 2006)[43] became the oldest verified living person in the United States with the death of 114-year-old Emma Verona Johnston on December 1, 2004. She lost this designation when the age of Elizabeth Bolden was verified in April 2005. Both were born in the rural South—where they lived less than 100 miles apart.
Born of freed slaves, Solomon and Delia Rutherford, she is the oldest resident of the state of Mississippi ever recorded (the previous record was 113 years 12 days set in 1994). Her oldest son, Will Rogers, was said to have been born (October 27, 1909 – October 21, 2008) making him 96 years old himself at the time (although the 1930 census lists him as 19 years old in April 1930, indicating that he was 95 instead). In late April 2005, Wilson moved into a new home funded by donations.
Wilson celebrated her 115th birthday in September 2005, at which time she ranked as the third-oldest living person in the world.
Wilson died at her New Albany home on February 13, 2006, aged 115 years 153 days. She was survived by the aforementioned son (1909–2008), five grandchildren, 46 great-grandchildren, 95 great-great-grandchildren and 38 great-great-great grandchildren.
As of December 2009, Wilson is listed as one of the 20 longest lived people ever.
Grace Thaxton
Grace Thaxton née Menges (June 18, 1891 – July 6, 2005) was a supercentenarian, the oldest person in Kentucky, the fourth-oldest person in the U.S. and the sixth-oldest documented person in the world at the time of her death at age 114.[44] Grace was the oldest documented person ever born in the state of New York, in Rockland to be precise, and narrowly missed the all-time age record for a Kentucky resident of 114 years and 92 days, set by Mary Anna Boone in 2001, when she died in Winchester from a bout of pneumonia not long after her last birthday.[citation needed]
Moreover, her own mother (Harriet Menges née Hardenburgh) died at 109 (Aug 25, 1860 - Dec 1969),[citation needed] nearly a supercentenarian herself, and Thaxton almost lived to see her son Robert turn 90 on July 12, 2005. As of December 2009, Thaxton is listed as one of the 80 longest lived people ever.

Thomas was the second oldest American (and the oldest born in the United States, as Mary Josephine Ray was born in Canada). She moved to Buffalo, New York in 1946 and went on to become the oldest living person in the state of New York. Her nickname is The Plant Lady, because of her lifelong hobby of caring for plants.
On October 25, 2009, Thomas broke the record for the oldest person born in Iowa, surpassing the 114 years, 117 days set by Emma Verona Johnston in 2004. On 22 December 2009, Neva Morris aged 114 years 141 days surpassed Olivia Patricia Thomas as the oldest verified Iowa person ever.
Thomas is listed as one of the 60 longest lived people ever.

Johnson Parks only held the oldest living man title for 85 days, making him one of the shortest tenure of oldest living man, but they are shorter : Herman Smith-Johannsen held it for 22 days and Henry Allingham held it for 29 days.
At the time of his death, Parks was the second undisputed male ever, behind only Christian Mortensen.
As of November 2010, Parks is in the addendum of the 100 longest-lived people ever.
George Francis
George Rene Francis (June 6, 1896 – December 27, 2008)[52][53] was an American supercentenarian and the joint second-oldest living man in the world, together with Englishman Henry Allingham, until Francis's death aged 112 years, 204 days. He was also the oldest living man in the United States, following the death of Antonio Pierro on Feb 8, 2007. Francis was from New Orleans, Louisiana but since 1949 lived in Sacramento, California, where a local newspaper published a poem that Francis enjoyed reciting to friends and the public throughout his life.[54] He credited his longevity to nature, and enjoyed a rich diet of pork, eggs, milk and lard. He gave up smoking cigars at the age of 75.[55]
Francis attempted to join the army in World War I but was rejected for service in 1918 as being too short and small (he weighed only about 100 pounds). Despite this, he later was a boxer before becoming a barber and then a chauffeur.
George Francis claimed to have met Louis Armstrong and Booker T. Washington and to have seen Babe Ruth hit a home run. His wife died in 1964.
At the time of his death, Francis was listed as one of the 20 oldest verified men ever.
