Joice Heth (c.1756–
February 19,
1836) was an
African American slave. Toward the end of her life, in 1835, blind and almost completely paralyzed (she could talk, and had some ability to move her right arm), she was purchased by
P.T. Barnum who began his career as a
showman by exhibiting her, claiming her to have been the nurse of
George Washington, and to be over a hundred and sixty years old, all of which he may have believed himself. She died the next year; probably her actual age at the time of her death was no more than 80 years.
