Someone in my dad's family researched his family. I have a copy of the results. There are twenty-four pages of names beginning with my dad's great grandfather, born in 1789.
Thomas Brown married Nancy Markly in 1810 or 1811 and they had sixteen children over the next twenty-six years.
In a side note, four children died from scarlet fever during a two week period in 1834. One boy was fifteen; three little girls were six, eight and nine. Henry, Christiana, Lucinia, and Rebecca were gone.
How fortunate we are to have vaccines. It is a terrible thing that some people do not believe in protecting their children.

We live in a lucky time where vaccinations are available. I have never understood not having children protected:(
