Well my husband will probably live to be 140...had an ancestor who was longest living white guy in Northeast America when he died at 100, in 1698.

I had a multi-g-grandfather who died at 111, in 1881. He was believed to be the oldest living American at the time. A local newspaper in Arkansas published a lengthy piece about it.

That was my Dad’s side. My mom’s father lived to 100, and several of her siblings died in their 90’s. Sadly, she died from cancer at 43.
