| Peter Cornwell Family Who was the wife of Peter Cornwell? Who was the Anne Cockrell who witnessed Peter Cornwell's Willl? Is there a Shumate Relationship? I am not descended from the Peter Cornwell who left his will in 2 Jun 1776 in Fauquier County, Virginia; however, I am constantly referring to this family with the thought that I may be connected in three ways. 1. Was Sarah Ann mentioned in the Will also the wife of Daniel James? 2. Who is Ann Cockrell who witnessed this will? 3. Simon Cornwell witnessed the will of Anderson Cockrell. Is there a connection? Peter Cornwell's will is found in the Abstracts of Fauquier County, Virginia Will, Inventories and Accounts 1759-1800 by John K. Gott, 1972, page 75.
