Charles Worthington b 1701 St. Margaret's Parish Anne Arundel Co., MD. He married Mahitabel (Hamutal) Hammond on Nov 12, 1728. She was born 1712/13 Anne Arundel Co., MD and died in 1729.

Answer 1

As per her profile, she was born in 1750 and died in 1772

She had her first child in 1763 and last in 1810.  So first child at age 13 and last 38 years after her death.

I would say the managers did not use primary sources ;)

Answer 2

I would have been shocked to read this information also. My mother-in-law had 12 children in 20 years and I thought that was a lot.

In fact, my husband's oldest sister is only 5 years younger than my mother.

Your headline would look great in the National Enquirer!
