Yes he was. I think that's one of the reasons I've always felt like I was born in the wrong time period. I spent most of my time with older people. That family was a little out of sync with the typical generations. My Grandpaw was the youngest of 14, born when his dad was 47, my dad was the youngest of 6 born when grandpaw was 46. I broke that cycle being the oldest and born when dad was 23. It's odd for someone my age to say their Great Great Grandfather was born before the civil war, or that their grandpaw was 24 when the great depression started.
hey coinsandchains! that is simply amazing to think about isn't it? does that mean you're getting old? you have remarkable legacy sir, with great witnesses above cheering you on!
WOW, We are close to the same on Late blooming ancestors have a great great that was a drummer boy with Sherman in the (UN) civil war! My Dad was in his 40s when I was born, and close to 50 when my younger brother was born. I was 24 when My Son was born, LOL!
You were lucky on the grandparents! Mine were too far away, and I only met them a few times. I know my Mothers Dad made a cream from Dandylion root, I would LOVE to know how to make!
Enjoyed this post!
:)LOL, I actually stuck too many great's in there my Great Grandpaw was born in 1858.
I had one set of grandparents here, The other set lived a bit southeast of @janton in Mineral Wells TX. I didn't get to see them but a few times a year. I would usually end up in Texas for a month sometimes 2 every summer.
But every Sunday for a really long time I was at my grandpaws house, then a lot on Satudays and in the summer if I wasn't in Texas.
I did too, didn't look right. I have a postcard from my Great Grandmother to my Grandfather scolding him to get married because he was going on 33 (early 1908) and she wanted Grand kids!
I am the only Black sheep, My Son is 38 and single!
