Either Mary was born a few years earlier or Austin had a prior wife because Austin appears to have fathered a son by 1825. On the other hand, Mary is probably too old to be the mother of Anderson.

On the one hand, Mary appears to be fibbing about her age. On the other hand, she is just barely young enough to be Anderson's mother. Is Anderson their grandson? Did Austin have more than one wife? Did he marry two Mary's?
