Talk:Thomas Kenton

Problem with his age
In 1691, Kenton is going gray and his hairline is receding. That suggests he's 40, maybe older, i.e. born around 1650. It's explicitly stated that he's past 30. But his great-grandmother Joanna Wingfield was born in 1610. Her child, his grandparent, would have to have been born around 1630, which is a problem. Joanna should have been his grandmother, not great-grandmother. Unless Kenton's mother was Joanna's daughter's daughter, and each generation gave birth at age 13. I.e., 1610+13+13+13, would make Kenton born in 1649, which is the only way to put his birth in the right time period. Should this be one for Inconsistencies in Turtledove's Work? Or is there some angle I've missed?JonathanMarkoff (talk) 08:57, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
