Famous July Birthdays

You know how much I love to look up birthdays of famous people. When I was looking over the list for July, I was surprised at how many "old" famous people were born in July and just how old they were. For example:

• Calvin Coolidge - July 4, 1872 - 136 years old
• P.T. Barnum - July 5, 1810- 198 years old
• John Paul Jones - July 6, 1747 - 261 years old
• John D. Rockefeller - July 8, 1839 - 168 years old
• John Quincy Adams - July 11, 1767 - 240 years old
• George Washington Carver - July 12, 1861 - 146 years old
• Henry David Thoreau - July 12, 1817 - 190 years old
• George Bernard Shaw - July 26, 1856 - 151 years old
• Beatrix Potter - July 28, 1866 - 141 years old
• Henry Ford - July 30, 1863 - 144 years old
