Larry It is one of those trees that everyone thinks is 3-400 years old. I am with you and had guessed 225-250. It could be as young as 150 though. You never know.
It fell in the fall of 2006 resulting from root damage that more than likely occurred in the 1960's from an adjacent development of homes. I can just picture the workmen parking their D-9 bulldozer under it for lunch! And, as usual, it fell after being pruned to lighten the canopy so it wouldn't be blown over. Fell on a calm day for no apparent reason other than root decay.
