Conrad Heyer
Conrad Heyer, who was born in 1749, is the earliest-born American to appear in photographic history and maybe the earliest-born person in history overall. He served as George Washington’s soldier during the Revolutionary War and may have even crossed the Delaware River with the general. In this 1852 photo, he’s already 103 years old.

Andrew Jackson
American history may record Andrew Jackson as one of the most reviled presidents in its annals. Many Native Americans perished under his administration, and he was branded a tyrant by his detractors. Jackson was pictured here in 1844 or 1845, not long before his death. He was born in 1767.
