Even my brother's kids' (both under 10) g-g-g-g grandfather was born around 1772. I fear an element of error may have slipped into your calculations SFE. Merry Christmas anyway. :)

It all depends on ages of people when they have children.
Most of my decendents have had childeren in their 20s and I am half your age as well.
I may have also got my figures wrong as well.
