This page shows an excerpt from the Maryland Gazette 1757-01-27 saying that Jonathan Tipton died at age 118, and that he was born in Jamaica. (There was a part of Long Island called Jamaica back then. The island of Jamaica was under Spanish rule at the time and English people were not allowed on it.)
I have real trouble believing he was that old, as even now (2005) no one lives past 115. I suspect he was probably in his 90s when he died, and that the 1757 date is really for his son Jonathan Jr.
