Leonard and Adaline were the parents of:
Byron, Viola, Cassius, Freddie, Herbert, Ada, and Eddie*.
*Eddie's death record lists his mother as Adaline and birth July 1865 but Adaline died in February 1865. It is more likely his birth was July 1864. He is listed as age 5 on the 1870 census (asks age at last birthday prior to June 1, 1870) and age 15 on the 1880 census (asks age at last birthday prior to June 1, 1880) both census ages could calculate a birth year 1864 if the age reporting guideline was followed. If he was indeed born in 1865, his mother would have been Adaline's sister Frances Calista (Simons) who married Adaline's widowed husband Leonard Doolittle in 1867.
