Dear acr8574
I am happy to be in contact with another descendant of Holmes Cornwell and Elizabeth Day. I am descended from their son, John Day Cornwell, and Sarah West.
John Day and Sarah (West) Cornwell had a son, George Cornwell, baptized Mar. 26, 1820 in Bottisham Lode, Camb. George Cornwell married Harriet Beard on Sept. 22, 1842 in Bottisham Lode, Camb. Harriet Beard, baptized Mar. 3, 1822 in Bottisham Lode, Camb., was the daughter of Matthew and Ann (Hancock) Beard. George and Harriet (Beard) Cornwell had a son, Walter Cornwell. Walter Cornwell, born Nov. 9, 1842 Bottisham Lode, Camb., came to America. He married Mary Anna Long, born Dec. 18, 1846 in Hook, Chardstock, Dorset, Eng. Walter and Mary Anna (Long) Cornwell were my great great grandparents. I live in the Kansas City area of Kansas, United States.
I would like to know how Absalom Cornwell fits into the family. I am also interested in the predecessors of Holmes Cornwell and Elizabeth Day.
In 1981, I published a book, "The Cornwell Family History: In England and the United States." I hand carried a copy to the Society of Genealogists in London. Since then, I have been in contact with our relatives in Australia and other relatives in England.
Do you live in England, the United States or Australia?
Your cousin, Karen
