I have found a marriage in 1749 to Ann Edwards Using those dates, that leaves 10 births between 1749 and 1768 These could be correct, as in previous generations, the women seem to marry young and spend most of their married lives pregnant. I think my only course is to list these, but add a note that this is my interpretation of the records.
