Absalom HOOPER and Sarah SALERS/SILERS

Absalom HOOPER, Jr. (1789-1862) and Martha "Mattie" KELLY (1800-1862)
Book says Absalom and Martha have 11 children...

 ~ Thomas b. 1820, Elizabeth 1822, Mary 1825, Francis 1826 NC, Norma 1828,
Jemima "Mime" 1829, Sarah 1831, Margaret 1834, Hannah 1836, Martha Ann 1842.

* I could only find 10 children's names here.  (where is the other one?)
Could that be my Elinder?

Also if Absalom Jr. was born 1789 he would have been 31 when Thomas was born
and Martha would have been 20.  That seems a little old for people those
days to have their first child.

*Date for Elizabeth actually says b.1882 in book but must be mis-print.
