No matter the century, a man becoming a father at the age of 61 is not unheard of. However, a woman giving birth at the age of 60 in the 18th century has only slightly better odds than a woman giving birth 23 years after her death. Yet this woman did both. Amazing.
As for the records, the Millenium File is "a compiled source and is similar in form to other linked databases, such as Ancestry World Tree." That should be enough to give anyone pause. A note in the "about" section of the SAR collection states, "...please be advised that many older SAR applications are not sufficiently documented pursuant to current SAR genealogy standards." Also, there is no indication that the collection only contains approved applications.
For the last two records I wanted to give the tree owner the benefit of the doubt. I thought it was possible the 1830 census and Civil War record were just attached to the wrong person but on this tree there is only one person with the Chandler surname and she died in England in the 16th century. So much for benefit of the doubt. I cannot think of any reason those two, 19th century, Georgian records would be attached to someone 1) whose name isn't remotely similar, 2) who lived in Rhode Island, and 3) who died in the early 1700s. Any theories?
