They appear to have had 3 children: Franklin Sylvester, Nathaniel, and Mary Angelina. I am able to follow Polly and the family via New York to Illinois (or Indiana) about 1834, which is the last I know about Polly, but Elias and family move on to Indiana, and Elias, Franklin & his wife Harriet and daughter, Nathaniel, and Mary and her daughter (she had married a Thomas Israel) show up in Iowa about 1841. By 1848 Elias and Franklin are in Oregon (probably with Harriet & their child Susan). I think Nathaniel married a Harriet in Illinois. Mary remarried in 1840s to William O'Rear. About 1850 they appear to have moved to Missouri except I lose them for 10 years until they settle in Maryville. This is my family. I have not found any record of Elias after 1848, I think Nathaniel and his Harriet died in 1850 in the cholera epidemic in Sacramento, and Franklin died about the same time in Nevada City, CA. I have details and sources but I! can't open my data base right now. Let me know if you want more and I can copy and send it to you.
