The "Littlefield Family" names only Elizabeth, Rhoda, Stephen, Francis, Susanna, Asahel, Mercy, Samuel, and Charles (Franklin E. Littlefield, "Littlefield Family," 14). Here is yet another indication that the compiler probably did not consult probate records, as Ebenezer, Abigail, and Lucy are all named in their father's will.
