I am detaching William Cornwall who is not a son of Thomas Cornwall, neither the will or the Visitation record has a William as a son.

I can see no eveidence in the will of any son called William with just a quick skim through, there is a son Sir Francis Cornwall/Cornewell though. I'll try and transcribe the will in the next week or so or at least extract names but it seems that William needs to be detached which will be done just a soon as I check though the will again.

Son William is not proven by any of the cited sources.

I'm just checking, can't for the life of me remember why I adopted William probably for the EP orphan trail. Have found Thomas's will. THe other sources cited on this page are all unreliable.

Cornewall-13 and Cornwall-13 appear to represent the same person because: Clearly the same person, with a slight variation in the spelling of the surname

I cannot find record for John Rowley Rowley-94 marrying a Cornwall, nor is there record of Sir Thomas Cornwall Cornwall-13 having a daughter Mary. Records indicate the couple were married in Ardley, which is geographically near Shropshire. Further research is needed to prove this Mary's lineage. I have linked James as her father who died in Ardley 1606. (Ancestry.com. UK, Extracted Probate Records, 1269-1975 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations Inc, 2009. https://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&dbid=1610&h=832800&ssrc=pt&tid=172646739&pid=192246550735&usePUB=true)

Please if anyone finds otherwise, let me know and I'll reconnect them.

Do we have any citations to support this profile to help us understand the Katherine Harley connection?

Who was Katherine Harley — married [date unknown] in Herefordshire, England and was she indeed married to Thomas Cornwall?

I hate the unsupported ged imports, which generally come with little or no source material. Yet we have to believe them...
