Yes I wonder just how common it really was.  One of mine had two boys in 1841 and 1849.  Unfortunately she died before she found any rich (or otherwise) widowers to marry her!

By some miracle I found the father of one boy (the other one died as a baby) even tho he wasn't named on the birth and a "semi fake" father put on his marriage certificate.
It's a good story :D
