Thomas Peters (supercentenarian)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Peters (April 6, 1745 - March 26, 1857) was a supercentenarian from the Netherlands. He is the earliest recorded supercentenarian accepted by the Guinness Book of World Records. Originally in a footnote, the Peters case was later promoted although subsequent questions were raised about documentation. Indeed, it appears that if the documentation ever existed, it has been lost. Thus, on paper Thomas Peters lived to 111 years 354 days, but scientifically the lack of reproducible evidence makes this case subject to doubt.
