Is it possible the birth year of Charity Braswell-355 is either incorrect or this is the wrong Charity Braswell? This Charity is almost 20 years older than the other siblings and was born in 1734 which makes her too early to be a child of Jacob Braswell born 1727.

I agree. I think the birthdate may be closer to 1745:
