Research Notes

This lady was the niece of Rev Ebenezer Cornwall of Jedburgh and London. I believe further family are available at familysearch.org but I have not followed through with this as I did not want to spend further time at present beyond what I have already spent on the various people named Rev Fergus Ferguson.
