Who was the last person to die who was born in the 18th century?

Question

I was just reading an article about the last living U.S. veteran who served in World War I (he's now 107) and got to wondering, are there any records of the last person alive who was born in the 18th century? I'd think there must've been at least a few who were still alive in the early 20th century.

Answer 1

I wish i could live that long.

Answer 2

Of course, the answer would depend on how you measure the centuries, and whether a new century starts 1/1/00 or 1/1/01.

Going with the former, I found records of centennarians who died as late as 1906  (William Greer, 1799-1906).
