That’s true. My own grandparents were extremely long-lived as well — and I can guarantee they didn’t do a danged thing considered “healthy” today.

Indeed. It’s like that old saw: “Americans think 200 years is a long time and Europeans think 200 miles is far away.”

Not to be missed pictures. Makes me sad to wonder what they’d think about the country today.

Ironically my 4th Great Grandfather did an expedition with Daniel Boone as well as served for the entire Revolutionary War lived into his late seventies. Males on my fathers side have all been exceptionally long lived for the ages they were born in except for the ones who died from accidents.

My 5 times great-grandmother's brother was Boone's brother-in-law and many of my ancestors lived well past their 70s too.
