We don't know exactly how long this Hobbit lived, but we do know that in Shire-year1442 (IV 21), Sam Gamgee left the Shire to spend a year in Gondor, and his position as Mayor was filled during this time by a Hobbit named Tolman Cotton. The elder Tolman had died two years earlier, so this Deputy Mayor must have been the younger Tolman, showing that he lived at least to the age of sixty-two.
