Mary Ewen (May 5, 1878? – April 10, 2007) claimed to be Jamaica's oldest person and the oldest person in the Western hemisphere, since the death of Cruz Hernández. Ewen had no birth certificate, but the ages of her children (82 and 84) suggest that she was probably a centenarian, although the age gap of over 40 years between their ages and her claimed age leaves room for exaggeration.
