    There are plenty of secondary sources that give Kerrenhappuck's birth year as around 1692. However this seems unlikely given that she is also said to have had a daughter as late as 1742. She also is said to have died around 1804 which would make her over 100 years old. All are possible, just unlikely.

    Kerenhappuch's birth estimate of 1712 is based on a couple of things. First, a 1733 Spottsylvania County land record where her father Isaac Norman gifted 100 acres to "James Turner, my son-in-law, planter, and Kerenhappuch Turner, my daughter, of ye said County." So she was definitely married before 30 JAN 1733. Second, it's also based on some of her children likely being born from the mid-1730s to early 1740s.
