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

- 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.

- Elizabeth Hood b. probably about 1742, d. - . Believed
to have married Richard Hougland (Hogeland) of Bed¬ ford County, Pennsylvania. Found in the court records of old Berkeley County, Virginia (now West Virginia) , is record of a deed by Richard Hougland (Hogeland) and wife Elizabeth, to John Boyd conveying 1,175 acres of land on west side of Tuliasis branch, Berkeley County, Virginia, said land having been originally granted to John Hood, November 12, 1735, and acquired by Houg¬ land December 11, 1770. There is some inconsistency here as to the actual number of acres acquired by Houg¬ land, as other record show that John Hood sold 500 or more acres of the tract to his brother-in-law, Barent Nieuwkerk (Barnet Newkirk) , and that both Rachel Hood, widow of John Hood, and Tunis Hood, their son, also sold the remainder of the land in various different tracts. Nevertheless, the strong indication is that Eliza¬ beth, wife of Richard Hougland (Hogeland) was in fact, Elizabeth, daughter of Tunis Hood Sr. and Eliza¬ beth Harrison. In the Mecklenburg County, N. C., court records, Tunis and Mary Hogeland deeded 163 acres of land to Tunis Hood, Jr.? in October, 1789, and also 50 acres to Tunis Hood in the same month. This Tunis Hogeland also appears in the Federal census for adjoin¬ ing Iredell County for the year 1790. He is believed to have been a son of Richard Hougland (Hogeland) and Elizabeth Hood. In his Will, Tunis Hood Sr. stated that his daughter Elizabeth was then living in Fort Natches, presumably Natchez, Mississippi. In any event, there was a close relationship between those Hogelands and Tunis Hood.
