Note that the last "son" was born after his "mother" would have been57. This is more likely another case of the parents "adopting" the illegitimate child of their 18 year old daughter.

A good deal of the information I am presently adding concerning the Legge line comes from Bobbye Legge in the US. Her husband is my third cousin. Her contact came as a result of finding my tree on Ancestry.com and she has a Legge family three there too. However, It isn't clear to me how much of her information was obtained from my tree so I cannot declare it to be proof of what I have. In addition, she has several unresolved conflicts in her tree that limit the conclusiveness of her information (e.g. she has a Lydia Bishop and a Lydia Sooley as wives of John Legge but they are clearly the same person and I don't know why she refers to her as "Sooley", her maiden name).

Bobbye Legge's family tree shows her married to John Crocker (1888) and they have four children, three male and one female, not identified by name and listed as Living, which seems unlikely. One of the males is shown being married to a woman named Reid.
