Amy Barnard born in North Carolina in 1750 is listed on the North Carolina census for slaves over 100 years of age. She is 110 in 1860. She is listed under her owner Joseph Barnard of Buncombe County, North Carolina. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnorman16 ( talk • contribs) 12:53, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

Maria Branyas, who is living, should be listed as being 117 years and 2 days old today, but is showing up as 116 years and 363 days old. I can't figure out what's wrong to fix it. WordwizardW ( talk) 04:03, 7 March 2024 (UTC) Elizabeth Francis' years and days old is also frozen. I would take over updating if I could be sure I was doing it right. Can anyone advise me?

There are two living people on this list, one, the oldest born in the USA (and also the oldest in the world), and one, the oldest actually living in the USA (since the other one now lives in Spain). Will this list of the 100 oldest stay unchanging with no living people in it once these die? WordwizardW ( talk) 01:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Though I added Secundina Camarena to the list of 100 oldest known Americans in January, upon reviewing her GRG validation report, I feel that she should be removed. There are several details surrounding her case that are concerning:
possibly because her husband was 9 years her junior [and] she wanted to avoid social stigma from this. They also theorize that
this would help keep the appearance of not being an ‘older mother’ which can be frowned upon in some cultures. Most importantly, though, they admit that these theories
cannot be confirmed. Should we trust a validation shrouded in speculation?
Initially, some years ago, this case had been added to our ‘debunked’ list based on her obituary claim of being ‘only’ 100 years of age at death.
All of this makes Camarena's validation at age 113 a bit dubious, in my opinion. If another organization (e.g., LongeviQuest) releases a report on the case, we can certainly revisit this, but for now, I don't think we can confidently list her as one of the "100 oldest known Americans."
