• These eight must be the couple's eight surviving children, as the inscription on their tomb reads "Their generous offspring (parents' joy of heart) eight of each sex, of each an equal part ushered to Heaven their father, and the other remain'd behind him to attend their mother" This tells us that William and Susan also had a further eight children (4 sons and 4 daughters) who died before their parents. https://www.flickr.com/photos/52219527@N00/6774153558
