John William (Willie) "Bud" Rogan (1868-1905) Sumner County, Tennessee, USA. He began to grow very rapidly at the age of 13: this led to Ankylosis, so eventually he could not stand or walk. His exact height was not measured until his death. At that time he measured 268cm (8 ft 9 in) tall but weighed only 79 kg (175 pounds), making him the tallest African-American ever recorded. Rogan died in 1905 from complications of his disease.
