!NOTES:"Betsy" is a common nickname for "Elizabeth", but William also has a proven daughter named Elizabeth by his 2nd wife, so that is a bit confusing. She is clearly listed as "Betsy" in the Will and in the estate papers and as Elizabeth in other records. My theory is that this Elizabeth was one of those her father didn't claim as his own, thus in 1796 he named another daughter Elizabeth by his 2nd wife. However, later on he came to accept the first one as his, perhaps due to an undeniable resemblance in her or her children. Just a theory, but it would explain why he wound up with two daughters named Elizabeth;
