  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Excerpted from -- The Collie Family of Pittsylvania Co, VA, their Scottish origins, relatives & descendants by Betty Cox Collier The Collie Family p. 656 Dennis Cornwell (d. pre 1735), father of Charles Cornwell (d. 1781) Dennis Cornwell, father of Charles Cornwell, is thought to be the Dennis Cornwell who was transported to Virginia (apparently from England) sometime around 1692 by Richard Taylor. Subsequently, on April 20, 1694, Taylor was granted 293 acres in Nansemond County, VA, for importing Dennis Cornwell and five other persons as settlers for the Virginia colony.3 If typical, the date of the grant would have been about two years after the event. Over several decades, this policy was responsible for bringing in thousands of ablebodied men and women, who helped develop Virginia and whose descendants number in the millions today. From information in a Westmoreland County, VA, deed, dated 1698, Dennis Cornwell's wife appears to have been Ann Dunkin, daughter of a Peter Dunkin, Sr. According to other **** researchers, Peter Dunkin, Sr. was born in 1633 and died about 1676 when his will apparently was proved.4 Dennis Cornwell is mentioned in at least twelve court records dating between 1693 and 1704 in Westmoreland County, VA, and then in three court records (all in 1711) occurring in Stafford County, VA, where he apparently moved sometime by 1711.5 Dennis had died by May 20,1735, when a Prince William County, VA, deed reported the sale of 100 acres he had owned in his lifetime from a 200-acre tract he had purchased in 1699. The sale was to John Tayloe of "Lunnenbury Parish" in Richmond County, VA, and was done by his sons, Charles and Peter Cornwell, who were identified as being of Hambleton Parish in Prince William County, VA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpted from -- The Collie Family of Pittsylvania Co, VA, their Scottish origins, relatives & descendants by Betty Cox Collier The Collie Family p. 656 Footnote: 4 Peter Dunkin, Sr. apparently lived in or near Westmoreland Co., VA. He is discussed in the Genealogy of Dodson, Lucas, Etc., by S. Emmet Lucas. In addition to Ann Dunkin, Peter Dunkin, Sr. appears to have had the following children whose identities are shown in 1694 and 1701 Westmoreland County, VA, records: 1) Elizabeth, wife of George Harrison, 2) Ellen Dunkin (unmarried), 3) Rebecca, wife of Thomas Kirtley, and 4) Elinor (Dunkin) Bryan, who lived in Charles County, MD, in 1701. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com on 5/12/2020 Ann Duncan Cornhill Birth: 1666 Westmoreland County, Virginia, USA Death: unknown Stafford County, Virginia, USA Burial: Unknown Memorial #: 32419240 Family Members Parents Peter Duncan 1624-1676 Elizabeth Caldwell Duncan 1630-1671 Spouse Dennis Cornhill 1655-1715 Siblings Charles Duncan 1647-1712 Children Peter Cornwell 1688-1778 Mary Cornwell Wallis 1701-Unknown Charles Coleman Cornwell 1703-1781 Created by: Cindy Cornwell McCachern (46810811) Added: 26 Dec 2008 URL: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/32419240/ann-cornhill Citation: Find a Grave, database and images (https://www.findagrave.com : accessed 12 May 2020), memorial page for Ann Duncan Cornhill (1666–unknown), Find a Grave Memorial no. 32419240, ; Maintained by Cindy Cornwell McCachern (contributor 46810811) Unknown. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at findagrave.com bef 5/12/2020 Ann Dunkin Cornhill Birth: 1666 Westmoreland County Virginia, USA Death: unknown Stafford County Virginia, USA Family links: Spouse: Dennis Cornhill (1655 - 1714) Children: Peter Cornwell (1688 - 1778)* Charles Cornwell (1697 - 1781)* Mary Cornwell Wallis (1701 - ____)* *Calculated relationship Burial: Unknown Created by: Cindy Cornwell McCachern Record added: Dec 26, 2008 Find A Grave Memorial# 32419240 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
