JWH confuses these two Elijahs: he gives the children of Elijah Houghton and Sarah Ballard (Lucy, Sally, Richard W., Lewis G) as children of Capt. Elijah Houghton and Mary Allen. These children are not listed in Lancaster VR for latter, and are obviously (given JWH dates) the same as the latter's children²²
