Known children[[edit] |[edit source]]
According to one source, most of theFirst Doctor's memories were wiped when he stole his TARDIS, because it was in TARDISes' nature to "assault the mind of anyone but its owner or familiars", something the Doctor wished he'd remembered in time. The damage to his memories was so severe that he could no longer remember his children, only the certainty thatSusan was his granddaughter. However, he believed that his child and Susan's parent wasa daughter. (PROSE:Echoes of Future Past[+]Loading...["Echoes of Future Past (short story)"])

(PROSE:The Day of the Doctor) In some accounts, wherein the Doctor and Susan were shown to behuman, this therefore meant that the Doctor's child whom parented Susan was also human.
