Mr. Hayer has the distinction of being the earliest-born person ever photographed. The pic (a daguerreotype) was taken in 1852, Mr. Hayer was born in 1749. He is further distinguished by being the only Revolutionary War veteran who served under George Washington, and crossed the Delaware to Valley Forge, to be photographed.

After the war he moved to Maine, where he lived until he died at the age of 107.
