I know records and confirmation are long gone if they ever existed, but newspapers probably published stories 100-110 years ago talking about this very subject, but regarding survivors from the 1700s instead?

[Margaret Neve](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Ann_Neve) made it from 1792 to 1902. There’s also [Mary Ramsey Wood](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Ramsey_Wood), who _reportedly_ made it from 1787 to 1908.
