Laurens, SC John & Frances Wait Family 1790's

I have been researching the early Tinney families in SC for several years.I saw the Wait family Bible records posted on the web and noted the marriage between Peacha Wait and John Richard Tinney. While Bible records are usually an invaluable source of documentation, I wonder if the dates given might have been copied incorrectly. According to those given on the web site, Peacha Wait was born in 1786 and John Richard Tinney was born in 1818. This would mean she was 32 years his senior and was 62 years old she when married. Subsequently, she would have given birth to their three children at ages 71, 73 & 75 respectively. Am I not reading it right or is there something wrong with this picture?It seems like there is a generation missing, but the Bible records don't indicate such is the case.Can someone help to clarify this for me?
