I note that you took an interest in centenarian cousins.

Elzona Maxey (1875 - 1988) and Anna Pendley (1899 - 2009) were distant cousins, with the common ancestor in the 1700s.

The common ancestors were William Magruder Selby (1709 - January 21, 1783) and Martha Wilson (1713 - after March 8, 1806). Maxey was a descendant of William Magruder Selby's son James Wilson Selby (1747 - 1821), while Pendley was a descendant of William Magruder Selby's son Samuel Selby (February 14, 1734 - July 6, 1830). Maxey was descended from William Magruder Selby through her father, while Pendley was descended from William Magruder Selby through her mother.

I'm not sure what degree of cousin they were.
