A nativist Whig wary of Masons, who lived in the south and was proslavery. However, their state was recaptured by Union forces before 1864 and he was forced to vote for Lincoln in 1864 an then Grant in 1868. The Unionists relaxed their grip slightly in 1872 and he voted for Greeley. However, not wanting to vote for a New Yorker (he had ignored his anti-NY feelings in 1872 because he thought Grant was just too terrible), he cast a protest vote for Hayes. He was populist and liked silver, explaining 1880 and 1884. In 1888, though, he backed Harrison because of the aforementioned anti-NY feelings. His populist/silver leanings influenced him in 1892, 1896 and 1900, but by 1904, he thought Tilden was too weak and liked Roosevelt's views, so he voted for him. In 1908, Bryan came back and he was so loyal to Bryan he voted for him. In 1912 he voted for Roosevelt because he refused to vote for Taft and considered Wilson a traitor to southerners because he moved from Virginia to New Jersey.

While a lot of that was good, he couldn't have lived in the South in 1836.

Then I'll say he lived in a northern state in 1836 but moved to the south thereafter and shifted his loyalty there. I'm assuming the reason he couldn't live in the south was the vote for Webster?

That's correct, he'd have to live in Massachusetts in 1836.

This person would have been a centenarian, since the voting age prior to 1971 was 21 and they first voted in 1832 (Andrew Jackson's reelection). Thus, they would have been born no later than 1811, and certainly would have been a white male.

Correct.  My original idea is that he was died at the age of 100, but decided to make that 104 in order to throw William Wirt in there.
