Eight children by Richard and Elizabeth:
1. James 1751-unknown
2. Richard 1753-unknown

4. Susanna 1757-unknown
5. Elizabeth c.1759 ~ named her child Dorcas Gritton born abt 1789 Mercer Co, KY
6. Dorcas 1759 ~ most likely 1770-unknown
7. Cateran 1761-unknown
8. Ann 1763-unknown
In Kentucky in 1783, and any such theory seems inconsistent with the record that Richard's widow arrived in Kentucky with two sons -- Isaac and Richard.
SOURCE: ". . . .Mrs. Hoagland came, a widow, with two sons. Isaac had been killed but Richard was taken & carried away to the towns, & Jus: smitten a brother in law to Capt. Isaac Hoagland."

- LKH note:
Find a Grave for the father has included a summary of his will. Three sons and four daughters are named.
Our Elizabeth is not named.
He died in 1776. Our Elizabeth's first child was born in 1778, so potentially she could have still been part of her parent's household in 1776.
