My grandfather died over a hundred, he had 16 children and two wives. We estimated his age to be at 103 going by the youngest possible age he could have become a father.

My grandmother is well into her 90s.

They both were active throughout their lives, always in the fields.y grandmother goes to bed when the soon after the sun goes down. She insists on not having any electricity.




> by the youngest possible age he could have become a father

That's what, 9 years old?


I've researched a lot of people in my lines and I can't recall a father younger than 15 - tho I recently found one married at 14.
