life expectancy

[Full Quiver]

I have been searching the web for some accurate info but their seems to be none for sure. I was wondering what the life expectancy of men was in 1776. George Washington lead the Continental Army and then was elected president. He was 57 when he became president. Based on some numbers I have seen he was 12 years beyond the average life expectancy.

This thought came to my mind when hearing people talk about McCain's age. Of course he could kill over tonight but he is within his life expectancy and I don't see a need to fear him dying in office really.

Any thoughts?

From 2 sources I have it was somewhere around 35 years old. That is inclusive of men and women.
