Mary Ramsey Wood (May 20 1787 or 1811 (disputed) – January 1 1908) was an American pioneer known as the "Mother Queen of Oregon." She was reported to be the oldest living person in the United States when she died at the supposed age of 120, and it is said she traveled to the Oregon Territory across the Oregon Trail at the age of 66. There is evidence this age claim was inaccurate or exaggerated, however, and she may have been 97 when she died.1880 United States Census Individual Record: Mary Wood from familysearch.org.
