Isn't Martha Jane Johnson, 11 July 1913, of California validated? She's the 10th oldest living American

 

Only by GRG, LQ hasn't validated her (although I still think she should be included)

 

GRG has validated about 40 persons (living or deceased) that neither Longeviquest nor the ESO  has validated.

There’s a bit to be said for ignoring GRG validations of this type, until another entity supports them.

October 10th was the last list with 7,113+, now we have 2 in a row.
October 2nd was the last list with 2,114+.
Since October 23rd, Texas has maintained 1 name on the list.
For the first time since the list began being published here, we have 3 people who were born outside the USA.

@ale76  Martha Jane Johnson can be added to the lists now. Validated by LQ on 17 December 2025
