An example of this Written by Carol J. (9/5/2009 9:47 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Although, penned by Anselm

I have seen this same thing recently as I was doing family history research. In a will dated 1799, the woman writing the will made reference to two men as her "brothers". Both were obviously her brothers-in-law, married to two of her sisters.

It is entirely possible that Jane Austen used the term "children" to include John Dashwood, but there is no way to be sure.
