Cephas Tuttle would have been 14 years old at Angeline's birth.  Next child of Cephas was when he was 21.  Any proof or conversations would be appreciated.

It IS physically possible for a 14 yr old male to father a child. Just saying.  Also have occasionally encountered a male married at such a tender age, although usually it is the female who is so young.

There are no sources, but as he was supposedly married in 28, daughter probably born 28/29.

Daughter's DOB is well sourced. Looks as though she was not their daughter, there's no evidence that she was. Unlikely that two 14 year olds had a child and waited more than 5 years to marry.
