This picture is indeed authentic and depicts Conrad Heyer, who is believed to be the earliest-born American photographed alive. He was 103 years old at the time, according to Smithsonian.
Conrad Heyer was reputed to be the first white child born in Waldoboro, [Maine], then a German immigrant community. Other sources list his birth date as 1753.
Heyer bought a farm in Waldoboro after the war, where he lived the rest of his life. When he died in 1856, he was buried with full military honors. After the introduction of the daguerreotype to the United States, Heyer is credited as the earliest-born American to be photographed.
