**List is probably over-counted. Some of these are likely grandchildren due to age differences. Upon the death of a son in KY some of those above, like Harrison (death cert lists parents as 'none') and the Andrew born in 1798, were raised by Andrew. Few of those above were born when Ann was in her prime child-bearing years, therefore this list is not conclusive.
***According the a "History of Jessamine County Kentucky", in 1796 'Henry Alsman' was recorded by Maj. Benjamin Netherland as a tennant of Mr Willoughby and as killing rattlesnakes. This is likely one of Andrew & Ann's sons and could be the father of children attributed to Andrew & Ann above.
