Mollie Wood , aged 111-years old recently welcomed her Great, Great, Great Grand Child to her Big Family , which now has an astounding six generations of daughters still living, since the birth of little Braylin just seven weeks ago.
'Mumma took care of herself,' Ms Wood's 88-year-old daughter Louise Minter said, revealing the secret to her long life.
'She never smoked, never drank and she ate right. She cut back to 135 pounds, but I just keep going up and up,' she joked.
Ms Wood was born in Charlottesville in 1901, the year the first automobile was spotted in the town. The super centenarian has more than doubled her life expectancy, which was 54 for women at the turn of the 20th century, and just 50 for men.
Braylin Marie Higgins (baby), whose mother, Savannah Shifflett, is just 16, has a life expectancy of 78.5 years. But, with her genes, she is likely to live a lot longer than that.
