True: The average family size was around six people.
False:
- Colonial families were more often nuclear (parents and children); while extended kin and servants sometimes lived together, extended-family households were not the norm.
- Remarriage and blended families were common because of high mortality; they were not legally prohibited.
- People generally married in their twenties (not encouraged to wait until older ages).
