I am researching Cornelius Dabney, b. 1730. I believe that my Cornelius Dabney is not the same one as the Cornelius born in 1740 and married to Sarah Jennings. My Cornelius born about 1730 in Hanover Co., VA and died between May 1792 (date of his will) and 1814 (date of probate) in Bedford Co. Va. His will was filed in Bedford Co., VA, and lists his wife Mary (she is Molly in some records) and his children and the married names of his daughters (at least those who were married when he died). This is what I know about them (the marriages were found in the Bedford Co. VA marriage register): Cornelius (b. unknown) no other info on him Benjamin (b bet. 1750-1760) married Nancy Wheeler, daughter of Mildred Lyle and Achilles Wheeler. Benjamin appears to be the first Dabney to migrate to Wayne Co. KY Nancy (b. abt. 1756) married 1st Thomas Lane in 1783, and 2nd John Overstreet in 1785 in Bedford Co., VA and migrated to Sangamon Co. Illinois. George (b. Sept 15, 1760) married Elizabeth Eckhols (daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Eckhols) in 1793 in Bedford Co., VA and migrated to Clinton Co. KY Molly (b. abt 1770) married James Turner in 1790 in Bedford Co. VA Charles (b abt. 1772) married 1st Lusanny Blankenship in 1796, 2nd Betsy Hale in 1798 in Bedford Co. VA Sarah (b. Sept 1773) married Stephen Pratt, in 1791 in Bedford Co. VA and migrated to Wayne Co. KY. William (b. bef 1775) married Rebecca Eckhols, daughter of Jacob and Elizabeth Eckhols, in 1793 in Bedford Co. VA John (b. 1776, d. April 1849 in Wayne Co., KY) married Lydia Jones in 1801; she was probably the daughter of Robert Jones III and Martha Riley. John and Lydia were married in Montgomery Co. VA and migrated to Wayne Co., KY (John and Lydia are my direct line) Agatha or Angnes (b. abt 1778) married 1st John Kennett in 1801, 2nd Jacob Snidar in 1809 in Bedford Co. VA Anna (b Abt 1780) married Mordecai McClain/McClane in 1810 in Bedford Co. VA So, I hope this helps to clarify which Dabney line I am researching. Does anyone have any ancestral or birth/marriage/death information on this Cornelius (b 1730)? Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Also in Bedford Co. VA at the time were Nathan Dabney (married Jenny Younger in 1789 and migrated to KY then MO), Fanny Dabney (daughter of Rachel married, John Jackson in 1790) and Lucy Dabney (daughter of Anna, married Thomas McReynolds in 1781). I do not know how these folks connect to Cornelius and family or to any other Dabneys.
