They had ten children; William, Margaret, Jane, Mary Ann, John L., Elizabeth, James, Nancy, Hugh, George. Hugh married Mary Hughes Carroll. They had six children; Eliza, Maria, Margaret, Rachel, Jane Ann, and Sarah. My family connection leads me to Margaret's (born 1804) marriage to Robert Miller Walmsley Jr. (born 1803). The Walmsley family is from Cecil County, Maryland. Margaret died 1840. The Walmsley family migrated to the New Orleans area. My wife's mother was a Walmsley.
