Alexander also lists five children who died young. Sarah 1764-71, Anthony Livingston 1766-70, Robert Livingston I 1767-68, Robert Livingston II 1769-74, Anthony 1777-77.
Findagrave is a poor source for Adelia, since the photo of the crypt entrance is the only verifiable content for her; that Findagrave page should not be deferred to as if it was a reliable source.
