Historical Newspapers Clearfield Progress (Clearfield, Pennsylvania) 1934 July 31 has an article claiming that 9 sons and a daughter of the late Mr & Mrs Martin claim a longevity record on ages. Their total ages is 653 with an average of 72 with Benjamin being the oldest at 83. I have 5 sons and 5 daughters. Nancy according to her obit died in 1939 so she must be the one daughter, meaning all the other daughters died before 1934. But this conflicts with info from others. (Source: Phyllis Reichenbach)
