Oh well, that's why we do the research!
It's also possible that Delilah was born out of wedlock.I have tracked down a handful of relatives in the early 19th century who had children "without benefit of clergy."Those children often wound up moving away from Orange County.(I guess it was the stigma of illegitimacy, or maybe it was the parents who were stigmatized.)
