David Fanning" by Lindley S Butler. My question is which Cornelius Latham was the Tory? In my line I have : Cornelius ( I ) Latham , b: about 1730 in Prince William County, Virginia; d: about 1793 in Randolph County, North Carolina Cornelius ( II ) Latham , b: about 1760 in Prince William County, Virginia; d: 11 Apr 1828 in Bibb County, Alabama Cornelius Latham ( III ) , AKA Neal Latham is also in my line but he was born after the Revolution. I'm fairly certain at least one and maybe two more Cornelius Lathams were in the North Carolina area during that time period, one of which signed the Regulators petition in 1768 that led to the Battle Of Alamance. Is the Tory Ensign referenced by David Fanning, Cornelius Latham ( I ) , Cornelius Latham ( II ) or some other Cornelius Latham? Does anyone have the answer to this? I'd appreciate any help you could give in helping me unravel my Cornelius "cornfusion"! Thank you very much for your help! Bob L.
