What I meant was to have a list of the top five cases, disputed and undiputed. However, then add an addenum with an extra number of undisputed cases to compensate for the disputed cases in the Top 5.

It wasn't quite what I meant. However, it's good enough. What I meant was to make your list the same way that the list on this page was made:

He meant that you include the disputed people in the list, and put the others in the addendum as a replacement for the disputed.
Good list, anyway!

Yes, thank you Donovan. This is exactly what I meant.

1955:

Martha Graham (F) (disputed) born December 1844
Albert Woolson (M) born February 11, 1847 (last Union Civil War Veteran)
Rosalia Spoto (F) born August 25, 1847
James Henry Brett, Jr. (M) (disputed) July 25, 1849
Addendum:
Caroline Beale (F) born December 30, 1848
Marie Olsen (F) born May 1, 1850 |
First of all, replace Brett with Beale, as she is older than him. Secondly, Woolson was born in 1850. So basically we should have the top 5 list with Baker, Graham (disputed), Spoto, Beale, and Olsen. Then, we need to add an extra undisputed case to the addendum in order to compensate for Graham, who is disputed. Who was the next verified undisputed living person after Olsen in 1955?

Sorry about Brett there. I wasn't thinking when I re-did the chart the last time. I will see who was the next confirmed SC.

It's interesting that an undisputed male only appears in fifth place on this list.
