Author: CindyMcC Surnames: Cornwell, Jackson, Nelson, Calvert, Webster, Foster, Durham, Appleby, Arnold, Symons, Williams, Petty, Chapman Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.cornwell/1827/mb.ashx Message Board Post: JESSE CORNWELL INFORMATION PRINCE WILLIAM COUNTY, VA Marion D. Chiarito researched a Circuit Court case from Fredericksburg, Va, in 1980 for the Cornwell foundation and the following is her summary of over 100 pages of information that she searched through. To sum it up, this is what I make of it. Jesse Cornwell went to North Carolina in 1804. He was killed accidentally by his wagon running over him, however, he made a will before he died which was returned by Francis Jackson, along with his wagon and team to Prince William County in the early part of 1805. (You will note from the probate of his will in Prince William County in 1813 that the witnesses to that will were in Rockingham County, North Carolina.) Jesse left his estate to his wife Constance (Conny) as long as she remained his widow and then to be equally divided among his children. He mentioned a son, Augustine. Conny did not remarry and died in 1825. She named her grandson, John Cornwell, four daughters, ect. Her exec'r was Thomas Nelson. It would seem that Thomas Nelson, for some reason, found it very hard to administer her estate. Perhaps he honestly felt that Conny had no right to give John Cornwell special attention since Jesse Cornwell wante! d his estate equally divided among all of his children. From the court records we find that Gustavus (Augustine) died before his mother and evidently was unmarried because his sisters were his heirs. But before he died, two of his sisters had sold their share of Jesse's estate to him making for a little more confusion. Meanwhile, John Cornwell left Prince William County about 1828 and was not heard of for about 10 years. In 1835, Kitty Cornwell, daughter of Jesse and Conny and mother of John Cornwell, claimed that John was dead and therefore she was legal heir to his property (the slaves: Letty, Prucy, Elizabeth, Alfred and the increase. From these court records, we find that about 1810 or 1811, Connie sold some of Jessie's property, including slave Juber, and bought Prucy (Prudence) who had belonged to her father, Humphrey Calvert, and had been given to secure a debt owed Samuel Jackson. Evidently, Connie paid the debt owed by her father and Prucy became her pr! operty along with Prucy's mother, Letty. Connie also bought some lan d on Powell's Run and moved there. Back to John Cornwell. He was named as the son of Kitty Cornwell and the slave, Juber. He was mulatto. From Connie's will, if he tried to sell the slaves they were to be set free. Evidently, he did not claim his legacy but went to Georgetown, D.C. and worked there for ten or twelve years before returning. But someone had sold the slaves. And there was much in the records describing them. John Cornwell filed a suit in Alexandria and Fairfax County, Va, as late as 1857. JOHN WEBSTER'S TESTIMONY FROM THE LAW SUITS Q.Are you acquainted with the plaintiff? A.Yes. I know them both. Q.Were you aquainted with the late Constance Cornwell the owner of slave property and if yes, how many, their ages, sex and names? A.Letty, Prucy and Prucy was the mother of Elizabeth, Albert, Evelina, Jesse, Luawell and Catharine, born after Constance Cornwell purchased Prucy. Q.Is Constance dead or alive, ect, who married? A.Constance Cornwell now dead, died Oct 1824, the widow of Jesse Cornwell who she survived. Q.When did her husband die? A.Jesse Cornwell went to North Carolina in the year 1804 or the first part of 1805. Q.What relation was the plaintiff to the said Constance Cornwell? A.He was her grandson and the son of Kitty King the daughter of Constance Cornwell. Q. Did or did not Constance Cornwell make a last will and is the plaintiff the identical John Cornwell named in said will? A.I have always understood there was a will and that John Cornwell the plaintiff in the case is the identical John Cornwell to whom the property was bequeathed by Constance Cornwell. Q.When and how did Constance Cornwell become the owner of Prucy? A.Prucy when a little girl was placed by Humphrey Calvert, the father of Constance Cornwell as security for $105 or $110 the amount to Samuel Jackson not recollected. Humphrey said to his daughter Conny, if you will return money borrowed of Samuel Jackson to him, Prucy and her increase shall be your property. Q.How long after the death of her husband Jesse Cornwell did she make this bargain with her father? A.Between 5 and 7 years. Q.What reason have you for believing that Jesse Cornwell died in late part of 1804 or beginning of 1805? A.Francis Jackson returned from North Carolina in early part of year 1805 with the wagon and team which Jesse Cornwell carried to North Carolina and stated that said Jesse had died and Francis Jackson stated that he brought with him the will of Jesse Cornwell and Jesse Cornwell came to his death by his wagon running over him. Q.Is Francis Jackson dead or alive? A.He has been dead about twenty years S.S. John Webster Another note listed is that in Jessie's will it has WD (I assume means will drawn or written) 25-Dec-1804. With the type of injuries Jesse had, he probably didn't live but a few days. Kitty Cornwell stated in her testimony that Constance sold horses and other property of the estate to buy land on Powell's Run. She also sold slave Juber and bought Prucy and her mother Letty.

Has anyone heard from Anne Rupert lately? J/K Paula

Hi Joan, Something that might be helpful would be to get a copy of her death certificate. Obits are difficult to come by for Los Angeles county. The death cert would have some info on it that could help pin down some info, such as local city of death/residence, mortuary and cemetery. Once you learn these facts, you can write/email/call the local library to request an obituary look-up in that local paper, contact the mortuary/cemetery to request copies of whatever is in their records for her. Often times you can locate them through a google search. One other idea would be to check the probate courts. I've never done that, so I don't know all the particulars for. Good luck.

I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the SEAMS - SMITH Family of Michigan.

Louisa and James had 7 children including, Earl Forrest; Purcelle E.; Leona L.; Nellie; Pauline; Clara L.; and Kenneth James SEAMS. The first two born in MI in 1890 and 1893, and the last 5 in California between 1901 and 1909. 2. Baby Earl SEAMS with his Mother, Louisa Maria SEAMS, Her Father G.

Juanita's obit listed her birthdate as 15 Oct 1920 in Sugarville, UT who in 1942 married Edwin L. WILLIAMS. She was survived by two sons Gregory L. WILLIAMS and Gary D. WILLIAMS. I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old group of photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

If someone has access to a CA birth index which allows for searches by mother's maiden name, I would appreciate a lookup. According to an Long Beach news articles in Aug 1954, Juanita "Jay" LENTZNER (9 Mar 1913 - 20 Jul 1964) had a four year old son. Of course no first or last name was given or that of the father. LENTZNER was her maiden name, daughter of Adolph and Mary (NUDELMAN) LENTZNER [LENCZNER]. I do not belive she was ever married but not certain and at the time of her death, she was AKA Ruth MORRIS. I have found no further mention of any children for her. There is a 31 Aug 1937 LA TIMES report of Intention to Marry with a Charles FABIAN, age, 26, San Pedro, CA.

Gay, here's a transcription for the 1930 census; I will send an image to your email. Source Citation: Year: 1930; Census Place: Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California; Roll: 158; Page: 64A; Enumeration District: 1597; Image: 1152.0; taken Apr.17th, lines 19-21, 289/290, at 2024 Sherman Way (which is in the Canoga Park area) Name: Frederick C B Wilson Home in 1930: Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California Age: 50 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880 Birthplace: Canada Relation to Head of House: Head Spouse's Name: Wilhelmine E Race: White Household Members: Name Age Frederick C B Wilson 50y, h/h, owns/$12,000, has a radio, not a farm, m, w, married-1st @30y[c1910], b.CAN-Eng, parents/same, Immig.1924, Al, Pharmacist/Pharmacy, not a veteran, Wilhelmine E Wilson 41y, wife, fe, w, married-1st @23y[c1913], CAN-Eng, parents/same, Immig.1929? or 1924?, Al, no occup, Dorothea M Wilson 14y[c1916], dau, fe, w, single, attd school, b.CAN-Eng, parents/same, Immig.1924, Al, It looks like you'll have to look in the Ontario, Canada records for their marriage, c1913, it appears they married in Ontario, and had Dorothea before moving to California; and it looks like it could be a second marriage for Frederick; and for Dorothea's birth info, since the 1930 census says born CAN; also, their immigration date is recorded as 1924, therefore they are not likely listed in the 1920 US census; perhaps the 1921 Canadian census, altho I doubt it's available to the public to search yet; (I can ask a friend if she knows about this one). I believe you can search the 1911 Canadian census here, if one of these Regions is where Frederick WILSON, or Wilhelmine THOMPSON lived; http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test6.jsp?province=Ontario Nanc - a neighbor (also in Ontario) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gay King" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, January 30, 2009 4:46 PM Subject: [CALOSANG] Wilhelmine and Frederick C.

Hi, I am new to this list and am hoping that SKS will look up some information on the following family that I have been chasing for four long years! Wilhelmine THOMPSON was born in 1889 in Ontario, Canada and married Frederick C. B. WILSON at an unknown place probably sometime between 1911 and 1916 but the marriage could have taken place later. The summary data for the 1930 census says that she and Frederick were living in Los Angeles but I'm not sure where. According to her father's will executed in 1931 she was living at Canoga Park, California. She also had a daughter, Dorothea WILSON, however I don't know where or when Dorothea was born. Perhaps there were other children? I would very much like to have the census data for this family for 1930 and possibly 1920 although I don't know when they arrived in California. I believe she was a nurse and graduated in the 19-teens therefore she could have emigrated from Canada about that time and met Frederick in California - but this is all a guess. Her name at baptism was Esther Torrance Wilhelmina THOMPSON but she was known as Nina, Wilhelmine, or Wilhelmina. Any guesses as to death dates for Wilhelmine and Frederick, and a birth/marriage/death date for Dorothea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Gay In Ontario

I could find them in the 1930 census, but not the 20.  Unfortunately I can't download the scan - maybe someone else will be able to get it for you sorry, I'm a first generation Californian so I really don't know any good sites to tell you.    Julie   1930 census   Name: Frederick C B Wilson Home in 1930: Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California Age: 50 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1880  Birthplace: Canada  Relation to Head of House: Head  Spouse's Name: Wilhelmine E Race: White Occupation: Education: Military service: Rent/home value: Age at first marriage: Parents' birthplace: View Image Neighbors: View others on page  Household Members: Name Age Frederick C B Wilson 50  Wilhelmine E Wilson 41  Dorothea M Wilson 14 --- On Fri, 1/30/09, Gay King <[email protected]> wrote: From: Gay King <[email protected]> Subject: [CALOSANG] Wilhelmine and Frederick C.

Another difficulty with the online images is the OCR software. It does not always lists words correctly or if the image is imperfect in anyway that affects the search results. For instances I was looking for the name OUARTS and the software included QUARTS. As you can imagine that really increased the number of 'hits'. I just found an obit I had been looking for not by the subject's surname but accidently while searching for another name which turned out to be the surname of a married daughter. Another consideration is that while the subject's obit is not provided/found or it is funeral announcement only, if the person was a victim of crime or an accident, that might have been reported.

However, sometimes the mortuary has the kind of info you might find in an obit. Many mortuaries and/or cemeteries will send you that info for a small fee or for free. Other times they won't give out any info unless you are directly related to the deceased.
