More on Marrying Age

Yesterday I discussed ages at which ancestors married and shot the average age theory to pieces!

Here are some additional marriages from roughly the same period:

Arent Jansen Prall [b. c1646] & Marie Billiou [b. 1650] married in 1670 [ages 24, 20] Dutch
Pieter Prall [1672] & Maria Christopher [c1674] married c1694 [ages 22, 20] Dutch
Aaron Prall [1698] & Mary Whittaker [c1700] married 1728 [ages 30, 28] Dutch, Eng. [his 2nd]

John Rhodes [1658] & Waite Waterman [1668] m. 1684/5 [ages 27, 17] Eng.
John Rhodes [1691] & Catherine Holden [1694] m. 1714 [ages 23, 20] Eng.

Roger Williams [1604-6] & Mary Barnard [1609] m. 1629 [ages 23-5, 20] Eng.
Resolved Waterman [1634] & Mercy Williams [1640] m. 1659 [ages 25, 19] Eng.

William Brewster [1565] & Mary _______ [1568] m. 1590-93 [ages 25-28, 22-25] Eng.
Jonathan Brewster [1593] & Luucretia Oldham [1600] m. 1624 [ages 31, 24] Eng.
John Turner [1624] & Mary Brewster [1627] m. 1645 [ages 21, 18] Eng.

Hugh Mahurin [1665] & Mary Campbell [c1668] m. 1691 [ages 26, 23] Scot-Irish
Ebenezer Mahurin [1691] & Bathsheba Joyce [1692/3] m. 1718 [ages 27, 25/6] Scot-Irish, Irish
Seth Mahurin [1729] & Mary Hazen [1734] m. 1753 [ages 24, 19] Scot-Irish, Eng.

I tried to mix things up a bit, although most couples hailed from New England.
Average age for grooms [26]; for brides [22]

Hey! This bunch came pretty close to the standard!
