She lived on Edisto Island, South Carolina.

She had great-great-grandchildren.

(For some reason, most of the time, even those women who are 90 and older and already have great-grandchildren, do not have great-great-grandchildren - yet. In theory, one shouldn't even have to be 90 to see that many generations!)

Excerpt:

....Meggett cooked for almost 80 years before publishing the cookbook. In the publication, she shares 123 recipes she developed while cooking for her family, her church and some of the white families she worked for throughout her life.

Meggett’s rich and flavorful recipes include fresh-caught seafood and vegetable dishes, rice and one-pot African dishes such as chicken perloo and okra soup, The Times reports. According to Barnes and Noble, there are also regional offerings like fried oysters, collard greens, and stone-ground grits.

In addition to delicious, easy-to-make recipes, the cookbook highlights the Meggett family history on Edisto Island, which dates to the 19th century, according to The Times...

First paragraphs:

Emily Meggett, a Southern home cook who never measured her ingredients or used recipes but became one of America’s most important Gullah Geechee cooks and last year published a best-selling cookbook on Gullah Geechee cuisine, died on Friday at her home in Edisto Island, S.C. She was 90.

Her daughter Lavern Meggett said she died after a short illness.

Mrs. Meggett had been cooking for nearly 80 years before “Gullah Geechee Home Cooking: Recipes From the Matriarch of Edisto Island,” was published in April of last year — the first high-profile cookbook centered on the food of the descendants of the enslaved people of the coastal South. She had collaborated with a mostly Black team to create it.

“She left us with a lifetime of work that was overlooked and undervalued for years,” said Kayla Stewart, the book’s co-author. (Ms. Stewart has written for The New York Times.) “She really moved the needle in terms of how we’re talking about Gullah Geechee cuisine and culture.”...

History documents a five-year-old mother and a 17-year-old grandmother,
both mercifully unique.

Guinness reports the youngest-ever great-great-GREAT-grandmother was 88...
but only in recent years were there ANY verified great-great-great-GREAT-
grandmothers.

Women live longer and have children younger than men on average...
it is great-great-grandFATHERS who are truly rare,and I am not
sure of there being any great-great-greats though there probably were.
The current LDS Church President is the only prominent
great-great-grandfather that I know of at present.

In my supercentenarian researches,as I believe I have recounted here,
I once spoke to the 83-year-old daughter of Mary Manuel(1901-99),when
Mary had died but HER mother Susana Lynn(1888?-2001) was still alive.
I also had the privilege of reconnecting the family of Nellie Florence
(Wakefield) Parton Rouse Yates Cross to the descendants of her first
(only from first marriage at 16,the rest from second at 18) child,
through which she had some of her 27 great-great-great-grandchildren.
