I have a great grandfather Francisco Acosta, born in Gomez, Zac 1818 (died 1882 in Monte Escobedo, Zac) He married Maria Ysabel Ruedas, born in San Ramon, Zac 1826, (died 1891 in Laborcita) They married in Monte Escobedo Zac in 1847.

They had a son Jesus Acosta born in 1854 in Monte Escobedo and died in 1940 there also. I heard thru family members that he married Maria Cleofas Minjarez in 1875 in Monte Escobedo.

But I was looking thru Baptismal records and found another Jesus Acosta with another wife named Margarita Sanchez. This Jesus Acosta had the same parents. And this Jesus Acosta had a daughter by the name of Margarita Acosta born in 1910 in Bieneguitas, Zac. (Margarita's parents were Esteban Sanchez and Tomas Ruedas)

I'm sure these are 2 different people otherwise he fathered a child at the age of 56. I wouldn't say that's impossible, but very unlikely.

If anyone has more information on this, can you please contact me via email thru this site?

Thanks
Jose Acosta

Jose,

It was oh so very common to re-marry a very young girl after he was widowed. I
can't tell you how many records I've com across where the man is widowed, is
over 40 and he marries a girl in her teens and is having children into his 60's.

Alicia,
San Jose, Calif

My ancestor was father to two children starting at age 72 with a 35 year old
second wife.. he did put he was 52 on his marriage information but that was not
correct, he was 72 in district of Jerez Zacatecas. nothing was impossible!

I like Linda agree our Mendez line back until 1650 had kids very old, each generation started having kids around 40.
Though not too common to begin having kids at that age nothing is impossible in the world of genealogy.
My father 42 when I was born and his father was 51 when my father was born (he was the oldest of 14 kids).

I was 44 when my one and only daughter was born. My father had children into his late 50's.
