"included children" edit
If he had 3 children, 2 of them by Kate Corker, then he must have had only 1 by Ndamba. In that case, since "X includes Y" means "X contains (all of) Y and more besides", "included" is the wrong word in both places in the paragraph. I had to choose some option to remove the inconsistency: just three, all named here, or those and at least one more, unnamed. Since I don't know how many children he had in all or how many he had with Ndamba, and I can't access the sources, I went with assumption that he had at least one more with Ndamba, which makes "include" appropriate in both places. --Thnidu (talk) 00:00, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
Eurafrican edit
Describing James Clevland (and possible siblings; see previous Talk section) as Eurafrican is unnecessary. True, his mother Ndamba was of African descent, but so was Kate Corker, the mother of William's other children, either partially or entirely: Two references (one paper, one web) about her daughter are titled Elizabeth Clevland Hardcastle, 1741-1808: A Lady of Colour in the South Carolina Low Country. Since William was of English and Scottish ancestry and presumably "white", any of Elizabeth's African skin color must have been inherited from her mother Kate. So all three (mentioned here) of William's children were Eurafrican. Thnidu (talk) 01:25, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
