These children although named as sons and daughters might include grand children. McCracken identified the husbands of daughters Charity and Jemima. He was unable to trace daughters Mary, Jane, Sarah and Hannah past the mention in their father's will, but though one of the four might have married Joseph Newton and had children by him, mentioned in the will of their brother Joseph Field.
