based on her 'approx.' birth date and father's marriage dates, you have the wrong mother attached
There are problems with these dates. I made a temporary fix but am not where I can read sources.

Christine (Tillman) Abernathy is listed as being born in 1677 and "marrying" Robert Abernathy in 1675 which was two years before she was even born. Additionally, James Abernathy, son of Christine Tillman and Robert had a son James born in 1725 yet the biography says that Christine died in 1720 which was five years before she had James and Robert would have been almost 70.

I'll double check sons.

I just put through merges on two of her sons, and I noticed two things:
  • Was her middle name really Tillman?
  • She shows two sons named David who were born 15 years apart, and they both lived to adulthood.
I am pretty certain these dates are wrong.

I amconfusedby thedates. If Christine Tilghman was born about 1681 she married when she was 9 years old. I have been searching for an accurate date. One I found was 1660 but her mother was quite young when Christine was born if it is accurate. Help....
