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

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
