Old men marrying "young" women must have been fairly common back then. My great-grandfather was born in 1814, in KY., left after "bushwackers" massacred a son and daughter.

His apparently he received a Civil War Pension, his first wife died and he married again late in life and had three more children around age of 70 +.
