Burials are recorded of Souter children after 1790, and baptisms of Souter children after 1816.

The IGI, and a Pedigree Resource File from a submitter in Ontario:
23 Aug 1747:  birth of Elizabeth Moon at Newton by Guisborough, William Moon/Mary Anderson [PRF]
7 Jan 1769:  Elizabeth Moon married John Souter at Carlton-in-Cleveland [IGI:PRs]
7 Oct 1783:  William Souter bap [PRF]
14 Sep 1786:  Robert Moon Souter bap at Crathorne [IGI:PRs]
14 Oct 1790:  Richard Souter born at Crathorne [PRF]
7 Apr 1793:  Emma Souter bap at Crathorne [IGI: PRs]
27 Dec 1809:  Robert Moon Souter married Hannah Hall at Crathorne [PRF]
20 Oct 1815:  Robert Moon Souter married Eleanor Robinson at Crathorne [PRF]
22 Jun 1811:  William Souter married Mary Moon at Stokesley [PRF]
