Unless Hester is fibbing about her age in the censuses, she would have been only 13 years old when she married(!).

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

2 white males 4 or under 1835-1840 = J. M. (b. 1837/8)
= George R. (b. 1835/6)

1 white male 15-19 1820-1825 = ?

1 white male 20-29 1810-1820 = Christopher

1 white female 5-9 1830-1835 = Daughter A

The teenage male is too old to be Christopher's son. If the young girl is Christopher's daughter, it's looking like he may have had a prior wife.
