As indicated in a previous post, Christopher Harris of Louisa Co. and Albemarle Co., VA and later of Madison Co., KY, mentions in his will, proved Marh 1794, the will of Cornelius Dabney. Which Cornelius Dabney? This abstracted will may clarify *which Cornelius*. Previously I posted an abstracted will of one Susanah Anderson of Hanover Co. who named in her will her executor her son Cornelius Dabney,her will being written Mar 1722/5 Perhaps this Cornelius is the executor of Mrs. Anderson's will. Christopher Harris in his will proved in Madsion Co., KY refers to the will of Cornelius Dabney and he names his, Harris's *first children*, among whom is Dabney Harris. Reportedly his first wife was Mary Dabney. [Is anyone able to confirm this marriage? Other than tradition?] These wills are abstracts. If you wish further details which MAY be lacking in the abstract, consult the source given by the author. "Cornelius Dabney Hano 26 Oct 1764/7 Feb 1765" "Wife Sarah Dabney. Sons William Dabney, John Dabney and Cornelius Dabney, decd. Son-in-law C. Harris. Daughters Mary Elizabeth Maupin, Fanny Maupin and Anna Thompson. Exors: John Dabney and Henry Terrell. [Compiler's source as indicated in preface.] [Sketch of the Dabneys of VA, 1888, p. 38 by William H. Dabney." The compiler, Hopkins, does not specify the location of this sketch. He indicates he found some materials in the Virginia Historical Society, not to be confused with the Library of Virginia. VHS is a member-supported organization and is distinct from the LVA. Generally, if the source was a quarterly or a book, he gave that source. If it was a manuscript [or a transcript] in the LVA, he gave an accession number.
