Joseph, b. ca. 1654. Elizabeth, b. ca. 1656, living 23 Nov. 1721. She is called "my cusen Elizabeth Whelden, daughter of my sister Mary" in the will of her aunt Elizabeth (Folland) (Hall) Jones, 20 May 1711, and "my cousin Elizabeth Whelden" in the will of her uncle, Thomas Folland. She probably d.s.p., no death or probate found. Jonathan, b. ca 1658. Thomas, b. ca. 1660.[3] Some online trees (including this one) claim without sources that there was an additional child, John C.
