Can my great great grandfather have kids in his 60's?
I have found baptismos where my great great grandfather Patricio Madera and Dimas De La Paz had kids in the 1850's:
Julian Madera, who is the brother of my great grandfather Calixto Madera, born in 1859:

And his parents is Juan Benancio Madera and Maria Josefa
Here is the baptism of Juan Venancio Madera of Rancho De Los Maderas in 1762:

So I would have to think that for my great great grandfather Patricio to have kids in his 60's would mean the woman he had them with Dimas De La Paz may have been his second wife and a younger female or I have made an error in finding the correct Patricio Madera? But I connected Juan Benancio Madera as his father in the baptism records

That is very possible and not unheard of. Even nowadays men are having wrote:
children in there 70's. Of course the mother is much younger. In rural
communities you might hear of a 16yr old married to a well established 60'
yr old.

Eduardo and Antonio:
My three times 4th great grandfather, D. Teodoro Garcia de Rojas y Calvillo is a perfect example of how old men can continue to reproduce. He was born on 23 March 1803 in Aguascalientes, he married twice. First, to the woman whom I descend Dionisia Martinez Calvillo ca. 1820, they had numerous sucession, of three children I descend from: Salome, Agapita and Eugenio Garcia de Rojas. D. Teodoro would later married well into his 80s, to Martina Lopez de la Cerda on 26 Oct 1881. They only had one child Germana Garcia de Rojas born 26 May 1883, she would later marry her niece's son, due to the vast age gap between her siblings. Incredible to believe that Germana was born when he was 80! The fact he remarried at that age is also interesting.
