Notes - It is not proven she is a daughter of Simeon and Fanny. It can be certain that she was, at least, raised by them.
In 1845 Cornelius (her brother) attempted to claim unpaid war pensions for his father, Simeon. He lists the surviving children of Simeon as himself, Benjamin, Sally, Harriet and Hannah. Since Lucretia is still alive in 1845 it's unlikely Cornelius would forget his sister. In 1810 NY State Census for Coeymans, NY lists 2 girls under the age of 10 in Simeons household. The two older girls, Sally and Harriet, are over 10. Hannah is the only daughter under 10. Yet the census shows two. The 2nd is Lucretia, perhaps she's a granddaughter or niece.
