How can Samuel be born 1750 if his father, Henry, Sr. was born in 1748? I think it more likely Samuel was born ca. 1770.

Another possibility is that Samuel's father is not Henry Caver Snr.

The problem is people guessing at dates, if two users guess at two dates (Sam's DOB and Henry's DOB) then two tree get merged together, if the two users methodologies are different we end up with rubbish in the tree like this.

If Samuel was born 1770 and married 1787 that would make him a 17 year of groom marrying a 21 year old bride. How likely is that given the era/culture? Henry's wife is born 1755 making her only 11 years older than Sam's wife (her daughter in law).

BUT where does the marriage date come from? Where do Sam's and Henry's wives DOBs come from?
Sam's eldest child (on Geni at least) is born 1789 https://images.findagrave.com/photos/2012/251/96718940_134714115247... so is the marriage date supported by any evidence or just imagined/estimated based on the 1789 DOB?
