Sources are not clear about which children are from which wife. The assignment here is based on the date of death of the first wife. Since there is no evidence of divorce, it is plausible to assume children born while the first wife was alive are her children. The child without birth date came at the end of the list , so she appears with the second wife, but this is likely incorrect.
