Biography
Family record for Michelle Miller shows Dorothy Cornell as GGG Grandmother; married to Jonathan Sparling. Sources needed.
Research Notes
The brothers Christopher Stuffle Sparling and John Sparling each had a son named Christopher Sparling, baptised in Rathkeale in consecutive years, on 18 Dec 1762[1] and 30 Aug 1761[2] respectively. These first cousins and namesakes married the first cousins Nancy Corneille and Dora Corneille. Which Christopher married which Corneille girl is not known with certainty. Kathleen Bryant[3] describes the Christopher who married Nancy Corneille as "The murdered Christopher" (page 16) and states dogmatically that he was the son of Christopher Stuffle Sparling; she describes the Christopher who married Dora Corneille as "Christopher of Killeheen" (page 77) and states dogmatically that he was the son of John Sparling.
The murdered Christopher certainly had a wife Anne who gave evidence in court.[4]
