I have 8 children for Jacob Leiter the elder;
By unnamed first wife:
John
Christian
Abraham
By second wife Elizabeth:
Jacob
Peter
Barbara
Anna
Fronika
Judith was the daugter of the younger Jacob Leiter by Julianna Fogler.
Other than the mention in "The History of Leitersburg"-
"Peter Bell married Elizabeth Leiter, a member of the family that has given its name to Leitersburg District. Their children were Juliana, who married Francis Bittle; Frederick; Elizabeth, who married Peter Krauth; Margaret, who married Barnhart Lowman", I have found no evidence that Jacob Leiter had a daughter named Elizabeth or that this Elizabeth married Peter Bell.
In the will of John Frederick Fogler, he lists the children of Peter Bell and 'Elizabeth' as HIS grandchildren:

4 ½ Sides~
It is my belief that the wife of Captain Peter Bell was Elizabeth Fogler. The confusion may come from her three sisters all married children of the elder Jacob Leiter.
