I have one ancestor who was born 1759. Numerous trees have her father as 
being born in 1746 and her mother as born in 1730. That would mean the father 
was 13 years of age and his "wife" age 29 when their child was born. This 
should certainly raise red flags to those copying the data but it apparently 
didn't as one hundred or more have copied that data and display it proudly 
all over Ancestry trees.
