A lot of my grandparents were married at the age of 14 to 16 and had
children soon after.
My dad never married till he was 41, mom was around 32 and he was 43
when I was born and had 5 more kids, he was 53 when the last one was
born.
my mom and my half sister had sons 6 months apart.
I think from what I've figured out in the family tree, most were married
before their 20th birthdays.
but I don't think I ever heard of some one being 26 and was a
grandmother but I do believe it.

Thank you for sending that in. I was going to figure it out but you did
a great job. I wanted my aunt to see the generation list. She is
interested in the genealogy info I have found so far.
She thinks that even grandparents are not related any more say after
your great great grandparents. quote "the blood's thinned out" by the
time say I am born.
Don't know how to explain it but say my great great grandfather's name
is Jones and his wife was a Smith. She doesn't believe that there is
any relations on the Smith side, including her parents. They don't have
the same name as she does. How does one explain that isn't true. Some
times she drives me batty over this trying to explain it to her. Maybe
I never will. I won't get into the cousin part LOL.
thanks,
Janet

I am needing information concerning Thompson Rice of Shelby Co.,Indiana.
On the 1830 census of Shelby Co., there are four Rice families there.
Thompson, Michael Jr., Daniel and Jacob. Michael, Daniel and Jacob all
came from Jessamine Co. So, it stands to reason that Thompson would also
hail from there. There are no marriage records in Shelby Co., or
Jessamine for Thompson.
In 1840 Thompson is in Vermillion Co., but the Rice families that were
there in Vermillion Co. in 1830 have moved on. In 1842 Thompson is in
Green Co., WI. On the 1850 census records there are Rice families in the
adjacent county that came from Shelby Co., IN.
Judging from the movement of these families there is no doubt that these
four men are not related.
I have no doubt that they are not brothers and at the least cousins.
But, Michael Sr., children are supposed to have been all accounted for
by a Bible record. This can't be accurate as on the 1820 census record
Michael Sr. and Michael Jr. are living right next to each other. Michael
Jr. didn't show up in this Bible.
Any information would be sorely appreciated.
Thanks, Jim Eason

It sure would be easier to read the messages if everyone would use 'reply' ,
write their message, and then block out all of the previous messages before
they sent it. I just did that and will see how it comes back to me, but I
think what I did will work.

We keep seeing these items in the newspapers where "the average age of
women/men is going up"...
While this may be true (on average), it is misleading. Our genes determine
our possible lifetime, but our environment determines when we die.
MANY of our ancestors lived into their 70's, 80's and 90's. The difference
was that many died young of disease, childbirth and misadventure. Modern
technology and lifestyle have extended our average lifetime, but our genes
still determine the limit.

Okay! There is 25 years difference in my family between the first and the
last. All natural children. In fact the eldest had a child before the youngest
was born.
But that does not mean my sisters were of different generations, does it?
I am going to check the ages in one of my sets of ancestors. I will get back
to you.
If I am wrong, I am. But I don't think so.. :)

You are using the age difference for first-borns vs. the average age

years old assuming he was not many years older than his wife who unlikely
was over 45.
My g-g-grfa was 52 when my g-grfa was born; he in turn was 31 at the birth
of my grfa who was 27 when my father was born and I came along 44 years
later in 1950. That's an average of 38.5 years per generation. My g-g-grfa
was born in 1796 - using the first born age of 25 would put his birth in
1850 - 54 years wrong.

He could have 100 children but it would not change the fact that there was
25 years between him and the first child he produced! Second marriages have
nothing whatsoever to do with number of years between generations.
That is not an "average" age for the marriage of most of the fathers I have
run across. They were, in fact, that age. You can't change the rules here.

Re: the statement below.
I think what your daughter
was told in school was the AVERAGE life span, keeping in mind that a great
many died in childhood. I remember when I first saw "Gone with the Wind"
there were a lot of snickers when someone said, "the Wilkes always marry
their cousins." Well, that was true back then for many of our ancestors.
It's a wonder we're not all knuckle draggers!!!
No, no! The teacher meant the actual age of 50, not an average.
I have found one cousin marriage in 1000s of marriages in 39 years of
genealogy.
You won't have "knuckle draggers" if you come from good stock! Of course, I
do......that is a jest!
But really, there are lots of myths out there that have no basis in fact.

My husband will say that many come to MY FAMILY reunion! ha! ha! He never

**************From Wall Street to Main Street and everywhere in between, stay
up-to-date with the latest news. (http://aol.com?ncid=emlcntaolcom00000023)
Due to pedigree collapse because of cousin marriages or Quaker ancestry
you probably don't have that many "different" ancestors.
And just to be picky, the "average" age difference between a father and
his children is 30 to 33 years, so unless all your ancestors were
first-borns, 14 generations will get you back to 1585 or earlier.
Have fun!
