So she must have been pretty much constantly pregnant from age 15 - 21. I get that it's a painting and not a photograph but she looks a lot older than 22. Also, why is the ad giving her street address?

Newspapers used to give addresses as well. For people they interviewed, witnesses, even victims of crime. Give a listen to The Past Times. They read old timey newspapers and it's a trip.
Really doubt any of the information is true. I bet the ad was created by men with seriusly messed up assumptions.
Nearly all of the old ads are barely believable. It's a whole different timeline - where the commons had no say.

Golly, the life of an indentured servant and brood mare sure is swell!
Her name is Stan?
No. For many, many, many years women were formally addressed as "Mrs. [Husband's first and last name]" rather than their own married name in polite company. Still happens today but it is becoming less common.
I remember my grandma being referred to like that, and I always felt it horrifying that women essentially lost their own names in this way once in married Society basically changed your name to make you an accessory to a guy.
Anglos used to be super weird about their women
Yeah, used to. Totally used to. Past tense.
