You're not wrong. My mom had me at 21, grandmother was married at 14 and had my mom (her second child) at 16, and my great grandmother had four kids by the time she was 21... The assumption itself isn't necessarily true if the first generation was already older when she bought it, though. Say she bought it in 1930, passed it onto her daughter in 1940, then it only needs transfered three more times in the next 82 years to reach 5 generations of ownership.
Fun fact: my wife actually has a 5 generation matrilineal photo taken in 2018 with her great grandmother (who was 96 at the time) all the way down to our daughter.
