Conrad Heyer
Conrad Heyer is a historical figure whose claim to fame is that he could possibly be the earliest-born man ever to be photographed. Heyer was a farmer and fought in the American Revolutionary War. He marched under the first president of America, George Washington’s command, and even crossed the Delaware River with him in December of 1776.
His iconic photo was taken in 1852 at the age of 103. At the time, he did not know that he was the earliest born person to be photographed. However, this claim is disputable since some others also photographed at that time were born even earlier than Heyer.
