Lewis Berry Van Kirk, son of Joseph and Catherine Dykens??

Here's the information that I have, but it's unproven so far:

I've been tracking Lewis Berry Van Kirk, born abt 1804 in Cambridge, died BEF 1895 in Eau Claire County,WI. He married Anna Maria Dupont, born in NY abt 1814. They had the following children:
Margaret Van Kirk, b.1839
Catherine Van Kirk, b.1840
John Humphrey Van Kirk, b.1842
Sidney (male) Van Kirk, b. Oct 1843
Jeremiah Van Kirk, b. 14 Oct 1845
Joseph Van Kirk, b. 1848

My problem is with Lewis' parents. So far everything I've found shows that his parents are Joseph Van Kirk and Catherine Dykens. However, Catherine was born abt 1739, so it's highly unlikely that she bore a son in 1804,hahaha. I've been in contact with several other researchers and they still claim that's his parents, and that he also had a brother, Sidney born in 1811.
