Could Lydia Crosby really have been born in 1743 and thus given birth at age 59 to her last child?

Question

A birth year of 1743 makes Lydia Crosby approximately six years older than her husband Flint Barton born in 1749.  I could more easily believe she was born in 1753, and thus was in the age range of 25-49 when she bore children.

Answer 1

The marriage of the two shows her birthdate as 1758 in MA according to the U.S. and International Marriage Records 1560-1900

Answer 2

You may want to contact the profile manager. I'm sure he will appreciate the help. As you say, it is likely that the DOB is incorrect. His link is:

Answer 4

If the couple had children like most people in that era, it is indeed possible to have children later in life. It was not uncommon for couples to have 12-15 children.
