J. (Abner James) CORNWELL listing Date of Death as 3/2/1898 Buried 3/5/1898. My grandfather Merritt CORNWELL insists that he was the descendant of an American Revolutionary War CORNWELL/ CORNELL (and he wasn't the type to brag). Another CORNWELL researcher told me that adding the W showed that they were Tories and loyal to King George the III.
