I know it seems unrealistic given the average lifespan at the time, but my
4th great-grandfather, Jesse Hanson, was born in 1761 in Fauquier and died in
1852 in Randolph Co., AL. I'm sure he was underage when he married his first
and his second wife because I have copies of the parental permissions for both
marriages, which occured within six months of each other. (First wife died? or
they divorced? I don't know.) Jesse was well into his 70s when he married
for the third time.
My gg-grandmother was born in 1828 in GA and she died in TX in 1920. In
other words, don't discount the possibility based on dates of birth and death.
