Micajah Weiss (June 3, 1800?/1815-1914) was a longevity claimant to age 114 in 1914. His age claim was later debunked. Mr. Weiss was in the September 26, 1914, New York Times obituary as a 114-year-old claimant to longevity, where it was stated he was New York's oldest person. He was a U.S. Civil War veteran. Census data suggests he was born in 1810 or later.[citation needed]
