Wybra Hanson can't be related to Margaret Grissom Grosham as she is too old to be her mother.

Question

It would make her mother almost 60 and having babies.  Doesn't make sense.

Do you have more info on her mother?

Answer 2

I agree, in looking at Wybra and Margaret, it does seem unlikely that they are mother and child, for Margaret would have to have been around 47 when Wybra was born.  Also, it bothers me that the other children of Margaret have more usual names (Alice, George, Robert, Catherine and Joan), so, where did she get Wybra's name from?

My thought is, Maybe,  Wybra was adopted?  Margaret's husband John was a Reverend, so maybe Wybra was the abandoned or orphaned child of a parishioner?  Or MAYBE, one of the Hanson children was her actual birth parent and Margaret and John took her on as their own.  

It is odd that I (as yet) have never encountered a birth document, a baptism document for Wybra when there are records fo the baptism of all the other children of Margaret and John.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
