You have to know that back in those days the way they used Jr and Sr was to diferenciate between an older or younger person male or female with the same first and last names.
In the Bible it was "the elder" or "the younger"
Just because there in the records appears a Jr at the end of a persons name did not necessarily mean that they were a child of the Sr.
And yes I have seen records where Jr and Sr have been used for women (circa 1747)
