Sorry, it was a typo. She was born in 1789 but you should have known that from the date her daughter was born (1808) because 9 year olds are generally incapable of giving birth to a child. Sometimes when you type 60+ WPM on a keyboard mistakes like this happen. I proof and spell check all messages, which catch most of the blatant errors, but it is hard to catch a transposition error even if you are looking right at them. The information in my PAF was correct and it just got transposed when I copied it to the message. Whenever I read some information about a particular family member or collateral and I have doubts about it, I usually go to World Connect and search for information about that family in order to correct it. You will be surprised how often you will find the exact information, there. In case you have never been to the search page at World Connect, its URL is: http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi I think the best thing for you to do is to go to Alice Gedge's information on this family and look it what she has for this family. Just go to World Connect and type in the name GLEN, Catherine Jones in the appropriate boxes and then follow the links to her research. This is not my research but her information looks generally pretty good and is well documented. You may even find some information of more of your family members in her information, not that I believe every scrap of genealogical information I see at World Connect - I don't...... John R.

In the statement below, you say that Catherine Jones Glen was born in 1799 and that she married John Grimes Jr., 1806. That would have made her 7 years old. The date you give for her daughter's birth (Sarah Jones Grimes) is 1808. That would have made Catherine 9 years old when Sarah was born. Shouldn't Catherine's year of birth be earlier than 1799?
