      How Sarah Cornish relates to Gabriel Cornish
      Sarah Cornish was born three years after Gabriel Cornish died, therefore, obviously she is not his biological child. Her mother, Mercy Wilcoxson, probably bore her out of wedlock, and because Sarah bears the surname Cornish, which would have been her mother's name as a widow, there is probably not an unknown marriage for Mercy. About 1771, Mercy did marry again to Ebenezer Mudge, and that is the reason Sarah is sometime seen in the records as Sarah Mudge.

      The Cornish line came from Lydinch, Dors
