According to "the internet" she had 5 children when she married Wood; and he already had 10 from his first marriage. And then they had +10 more, for a total of 25 children between Hazelelpony and Obadiah.

Assuming (pure cocktail napkin math) there are ~12 generations of ~30 years since, with an average of ~4 children per... Hazelelpony and Obadiah could have ~22M descendants living today. In theory.

Of course many individuals die young or without reproducing; but, on the other hand, many have 10+ children, so it averages out. The important thing would be whether there were unusual diseases or Indian attacks in the earliest generations. Otherwise there is a no-joke probabilistic chance this family is amongst the most prolific in American history. I have some real doozies in my tree (the Websters family is gargantuan) but 25 children takes some doing! :-)

Willix-16 and Willix-1 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth year and place, same first spouse John Gee, daughter Elizabeth on both profiles are dups, same death date and place. Please merge.
