David: I agree John's birth date of 1740 makes it impossible for him to be David's son; however, as you state, the first appearance of him on record is 1768-9 at which time you suggest he would have come of age Making his birth date ca 1747 not 1768 assuming the age of majority was 21 at that time. You apparently forgot to subtract 21 from the 1768 date. This would make David then 19yrs of age at John's birth which is not unlikely. I do suggest we change change Johns DOB to ca 1747-8 in order not to perpetuate the confusion on this. Do you show any other children listed for David, other than the five listed by LaMona?
