Ann Pouder (née Alexander; 8 April 1807—10 July 1917) was a verified British-American supercentenarian. She is the third earliest-born verified supercentenarian in the world. Her age at death was 110 years, 93 days.[1] When Pouder was 12 years old her family emigrated to the United States. There she lived the following 98 years of her life in Baltimore, Maryland. Her extreme longevity claim was certified by Alexander Graham Bell. In her last few months, she was bedridden, blind and almost deaf, but her mind remained sharp.[2]
Age issues
Some sources suggest that Ann Pouder was born in 1808 and therefore only 109 years old at the time of her death. [3]
