Geni has flagged Frances Lowry for having children "too young" based on her birth year of 1660 here.
Records elsewhere (Ancestry) show a birth date of 1653 for her.

Should this be corrected?

Richard,

I see no reference of her actual birth date so I am not sure the source of the listed birth dates of February 01, 1660. I reviewed all of the attached sources listed in the 'about' section of her profile and do not see a source for the date. Her profile listed on both WikiTree (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Purefoy-65) and Find a Grave (https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/185411764/frances-rachel-lowry) both list her estimated birth year as 1654. This date is more believable if her youngest child's birth year is estimated to be between 1670 and 1673 (Hannah Booker). I will adjust the date to 1654 with a note stating that the possible unsourced birth date of February 01, 1660.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks!

My g-grandmother's ancestry had 1650 - but offhand I have no source to support that year.
