Back then people had to pose for a very long time for the camera to take the picture. On top of sitting long enough to be pretty annoyed he is also missing all or most of his teeth, which causes the caved in face look.

On another similar note. President john Tyler has two living grandchildren. That just blows my mind.

I think you are right. I remember hearing it took at least one full minute for the image to set on the negative. Can you imagine holding a smile for a full minute or longer?

Since there were soldiers in the thousands there, it’s not too shocking that he would have been in that campaign.

Yes, as that photo of first known human image says, it took 10 min to expose. Sure it improved even by the vet’s time, but still long.
I’m not sure I could make myself keep thinking of “Seinfeld’s” “Say Van Delay!” scene long enough to keep smiling for these old sessions!

Oh it’s nice, but a good chance if you were a vet of the Rev for any length of tome, you were in one of the major events. “With Washington” is the kicker. Make people think “in the boat” when all it means is one of the many regiments that crossed and went to route the Germans. Exaggeration and misinterpretation happens all the time in genealogy/history.

That is all very nice but entirely misses my point. I think it’s a more meaningful distinction than “earliest born person to be photographed.”

I thought the guy looked pretty good for his age. Still had his hair and could have passed for 80.

Oh yes, i agree.
This is just a bit of trivia. Actually interesting when you think how one can connect with a real person from the Rev, rather than just some faulty sketches.

They also pretty much had a rod stuck up their backside. You had to sit still for minutes back them.

My brother had polio, and life was worth living before the fairly recent eradication of those.
You might want to read the article about this guys life, he crossed the Delaware with Washington as a soldier and was photographed well after age 100.
I doubt that you and I will live so long.
