Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Old Rojerio" was a "Temecula Indian" who was believed to be the oldest man in California, possibly in the United States, also possibly in the world: a birth register in the San Gabriel Mission showed the name "Rojerio" adjacent to the date "July 19, 1779". Rojerio died in April 1904; if he was in fact the man referenced in the San Gabriel records, then he would have lived to the age of almost 125.
