• Notes

  Here are my theories on the parentage of George Cornwell. The first is from a book entitled "The Visitation of Essex, 1552". A census that listed family lineages was taken in Essex in 1552. For Cornwell it says that George was the secondf Humphrey Cornewell and Mary Mannoke (of Stoke Gyfford, Nayland, Suffolk Co. England) his siblings being first born, Thomas - heyre, and third born Fraunces and sisters Jane, Margaret, Elizabeth and Fraunces. His father, Humphrey was the second son, but became heyre when his older brother John died without male issue. They were the sons of Thomas who was the son of John. This original John listed was an "esquyer" of Haverell in the county of Essex. The evidence so far that this is this George's line is that it included a son George of appropriate age in Essex County. (F-344) The second theory of George's parentage is simply a listing of his peers named Cornwell living in Terling at the same time he was. These could be cousins or brothers. I've listed them in probable order of oldest to youngest by the years their children were born: John, Henry, (our George), Thomas, and Richard. (F-385) The third and most common theory currently held by other other researchers is that George is the son of Thomas of Fairsted Manor in Essex Co., England but I have not yet seen any proof of this. Our George had a son Thomas by his third wife, who moved to MA, NY and then Rhode Island, shortly after George's son, William moved to Connecticut. This is how the lineage is presented in multiple Cornell genealogies on the Internet and is now supported by 37 point DNA tests of current day living descendants. (F-576.6, 669) As for his children by his 3rd wife, Susan Casse, only Thomas and Joshua are certain. I also have disagreeing sources on his death date. My death date of bef. 1595 would not be correct if George was buried on 21 Dec. 1602 as in a lineage from Gale Cornwell. This burial supposedly took place at Terling Church, Terling, Essex Co., England. Another letter Gale sent me says he died in Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire, England. (F-641)
