If there are really exactly eight children, then this accounts for all of them, and is consistent with the presence of three daughters in the 1800 census. However, I know nothing more about Sarah or Susanna - is it at all possible that one of these is the same child as your Catherine?

NC Husband’s Notes... ————————————————————————————————————————————— Notes: Cemetery records for Hopewell Moravian give dates as 29 Sep 1758 - 19 Dec 1855, but I have conflicting information from an undocumented source that he may have died in 1835. The 1850 census ought to settle this, but I've never looked it up. 1800 Stokes Co. census page 600 4 males 16-26 1 male 26-45 2 females under 1 1 female 10-16 1 female 26-45
