Thomas Peters
Deceased Person
1745 – 1857
Who was Thomas Peters?
Thomas Peters was a Dutch supercentenarian. He is the earliest recorded supercentarian accepted by Guinness World Records. Originally in a footnote, the Peters case was later promoted although subsequent questions were raised about documentation. Indeed, it appears that if the documentation ever existed, it has been lost. Thus, on paper Thomas Peters lived to be 111 years and 354 days, but scientifically the lack of reproducible evidence makes this case subject to doubt. His death certificate says that he died at the age of 'Hundred and twelve Years', with the age written by the registrar in especially beautiful hand writing compared to the remainder of the certificate.
