Well, AFAIK, they all can be dated to the first century, the most recent, being John which is dated about 98-100 AD. but yeah , even the oldest, Mark, dates about 60 so 30 years after the Passion.
and I don't really know if Mark, Matthew and Luke are attributions to fully anonymous texts, but John claims to be "the disciple whom Jesus Loved", thus breaking the anonymity barrier, even if it's a blatant lie as it would have been penned by a near centenarian.
