Hi all, I have Martha Filmer born in 1640 according to data given to me. Usually a female will have children over a period of 25 years, and usually not over the age of 45, and the few outside the norm of 45 are not much over 50. We ought to expect her last child born about 1685, to 1690 unless the age we have for her is wrong. Thiss seems to exclude Abraham. Was there a will or other evidence?
