It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Cornelius by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Cornelius:

Dabney-822 and Dabney-30 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, similar dates, same parents. Please approve this merge.

There is another profile which shows he was the husband of Lucy Winston, BUT that wife does not show up on THIS profile ...

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Winston-359

Lucy Winston's profile has her married to Cornelius Dabney-591 - that profile shows Dabney-591 was NOT Cornelius Dabney II (Dabney-30) - different birth dates and different parents. Also, Dabney-30 married Sarah Ann Jennings in 1721 so a marriage in 1720 to someone else is highly improbable. Dabney-591 and Dabney-30 are not the same man.

So William Dabney-83 currently has parents

Cornelius Dabney-30 & Lucy Winston-359 ... Do you know who the correct parents should be ? Thanks

Over the years, much info has been confused together for the many different relatives with the same name of Cornelius Dabney.

I just merged these profiles which only had one son William as dups. I have separated the children into sourced and unsourced which need some work.

For instance, there seems to be 3 daughters named Ann married to different men, so sources are needed to link them to their father or they should be detached as daughters.

Once sources are found, some of the children's profiles may need to be merged.

Disambiguation between Anne Dabney, born 1724, the daughter of Cornelius Dabney and Anna Dabney, the daughter of John Dabney and Anna Harris is found in the Life Sketch here: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LK6K-PXZ

I am removing the latter and merging her with the wife of Captain Henry/Harry Terrell, based on his DAR records and the records of Judge John Dabney Terrell, Sr. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Terrell-326

Daubney-59 and Dabney-30 appear to represent the same person because: dups with same parents and same 2 children that need to be merged also

There are a significant number of sources linked on FamilySearch.org that are not accessible unless you have a paid subscription to Ancestry.com. I would request that someone with a subscription download the document images and add them either here or on FamilySearch.org so that all can see them and use them.

I think this Cornelius has some of the children of a cousin, also named Cornelius. That man was the son of James Dabney.
posted by Kathie (Parks) Forbes
Dabney-393 and Dabney-30 appear to represent the same person because: Not much to go on, but the first Cornelius was born about 1630, so this must be the son born in the 1680’s.

Dabney-220 and Dabney-30 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same wife
