     BIRTH     11 Dec 1631, Bucknall, East Lindsey District, Lincolnshire, England
     DEATH     19 Apr 1694 (aged 62), New Kent County, Virginia, USA
     1874. Cornelius DABNEY was born on 11 Dec 1630/1632 in Bucknall, Lincolnshire England. He died 23 Oct 1693 - 1 May 1694 in Virginia. He married Susanna about 1664 in Pamunkey River,Saint Peter, New Kent, Virginia.
     [Parents] Cornelius Debany (Dabony) was granted 200 acres in New Kent County, Virginia on 27 Sept. 1664 beg, at the mouth of Totopotomoys Cr. Upon the S. side of Yorke Riv., etc. (Patent Book #5, p. 406); 640 acres upon the lower side of Tottopotomoys Cr. etc. on 7 June 1666 (Patent Book # 5, p.625), and 100 acres on south side Yorke Riv. Above Totopotomoyes Cr. beg. at the mouth of same on 16 Mar. 1667/8 (Patent Book #6, p.114; Cavaliers and Pioneers by Nell Nugent, Vol. 1, pp. 515 and 559, and Vol. 2, p. 31).This land is now in Hanover County.?
Cornelius DABNEY was married to Edith he became the interpreter and close companion of Cockacoeske, Queen of the Pamunkey Indians, and widow of Chief Totopotomoi, a grandson of one of the two sisters of Chief Powhatan, father of Pocahontas. Cornelius Dabney's second wife, Susanna, is considered by many to have been of the family of Chief Totopotomoi and Cockacoeske. Queen Cockacoeske had an illegitimate son, Capt. John West, by John West, son of Gov. John West of Va. Capt. John West was with his mother, Cockacoeske, and Cornelius Dabney in the late 1670s when the famous Treaty of Middle Plantation was signed by the various leaders of the tribes under Queen Cockacoeske. ?
     In 1679 the Pamunkey Indians leased for 99 years "six or seven hundred acres" to Cornelius Dabney (English Duplicates of Lost Virginia Records, compiled by Louis des Cognets, Jr., p. 58). In Sainsbury's Abstracts of Colonial State Papers, in the Public Records Office in London, there are two letters from Cornelius Dabney, the "Interpreter to the Queen of Pamunkey." The first is a state letter from the Queen of the Pamunkeys translated by Cornelius Dabney in his official capacity and transmitted to Colonel Francis Moryson of the Royal Commission of Virginia. The second is a personal letter to Colonel Moryson, dated Virginia, Jun ye 29th, 1678, in which Cornelius Dabney concluded: "...Sr. my wife Eedeth has her humble service p'sented unto y' Hono'. (she) would gladly send y' one of her Boyes a yeare or two hence. My humble service to y' Hono'. I am: Sr: y' Hono's most humble servant in all obedience. Cornelius Dabney." (Charles William Dabney, "The Origin of the Dabney Family of Virginia," Va. Mag. of History and Biography, April 1937, Vol. 45, No. 2, p. 134).?
     Cornelius was the interpreter for Queen Cockacoeske of the Pamunkey Indians from Virginia, who was the daughter of Chief Opechancanough whom was the brother of Chief Powhatan. Chief Opechancanough was a brilliant tactician and War Chief. On a raid in 1622 that was comprised of an assault front that was no less than 140 miles in length. His warriors killed over 350 colonists and destroyed the towns' ironworks. This was so effective in hindering the colonists that there were no further raids until 1644. He could have easily wiped out the remaining colonists at Jamestown, however his goal was to curtail the encroachment of the settlers on his hunting grounds that were needed to feed his people. ?This treaty was ratified in the year 1677 and was signed by Queen Cockacoeske who was known as the Weroansqua. An excellent website complete with historical art and pictures that explores the history of the Powhatan Confederacy and associated tribes may be found at The Mariners Museum. ?http://www.comanchelodge.com/western-cherokee.html
     Virginia County Records, VI New Kent County Book No. 6. Original Source Page Name: 114 Cornelius Dabney 1667 Comment: 300 acres ID: I00711 Name: Cornelius D'AUBIGNE Sex: M Birth: 1640 in France Cornelius Dabney The Dabney family was originally of French descent and the name was changed from the French d'Aubigne to the English Dabney.
Probably one of the first of that name who came to the colonly of Virginia was Cornelius Dabney who patented land here in 1664, 1666, and 1667. He was a vestryman in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, and was interpreter for the Crown to the Queen of the Pamunkey Indians. 1664 Sept 27, Cornelius DeBaney (his name, appearing several times in the patent, has been incorrectly copied as DeBonis and DeBoney); 200 acres on Tottopotomoy's Creek, South side of York River, a little below the fort of Manaskin. For the transportation of 4 persons. 1666 June 7th, Cornelius Dabney, 640 acres upon the lower side of Tottopotomey's Creek, beginning at the upper line of Robert Henderson and John Fleming, purchased of Mr. Littlepage and James Turner, running to the extent thereof s.s.e.eastely, etc., June 7, 1666, for the transportation of 13 persons. 1667-8 Mar 16, 300 acres in New Kent Co., "on the south side of York River and upper side of Tottopotompy's Creek. For the transportation of 2 persons, Jone Winter and Besse, an Indian.
     1668 married in England about this time. Susanna was born about 1643 in of the family of Chief Totopotomoi and Cockacoeske. She died after 5 Feb 1724 in Hanover, Virginia. Susannah is believed to be the daughter or granddaughter of Cockacoeske and her husband, Chief Totopotomoi. ?If the Dabneys descend from Totopotomoi and Cocacoeske, th y not only have a double descent from Pocahonta's father's sisters, but also descent from his brother Opechancanough , who married Powhatan's daughter, Cleopatra, the wife of O pechancanough.

Thanks go to Clyde Ray IV for the majority of the family information.
     First wife Edith was still living as of Jun.29,1678, since researchers reported on reading a letter in the Public Record Offices, in London, England, prior to 1935, sent by Cornelius Dabney, in Virginia, to Col.Francis Morrison, no doubt a relative of Edith's, with that date, which included Edith's respects to Col.Morrison and the announcement of her intentions of sending her sons to England, and his care, (no doubt for their education), within a year or two. Therefore references in the biography to the marriage of Cornelius Dabney and Susanna Swann taking place around 1664 are definitely wrong, and Susanna is probably much younger than the birth year given to her. Her 1724 will, by which time she was the widow of David Anderson, only indicates 4 children: Cornelius Dabney Jr., (ca.1686-1764); Mary (Dabney) Carr, (1688-1748); Ruth (Dabney or Anderson?), who had married before that date James Trice; and David Anderson, (abt.1698-1735). There is no evidence linking any child of Cornelius Dabney Sr., other than those named in Susanna's will, to his second wife.

     He was a mentioned with Cornelius (II) Dabney Sr.; per Miller [1907:301]: "After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, three brothers, John Dabney (the eldest), Cornelius Dabney, and George Dabney, left France, and went to Wales. Early in the Eighteenth Century, when well advanced in years, these brothers, (John and cornelius then having grown children) left France or England and emigrated to america, with their weves and children. George Dabney settled in Massachusetts, and John Dabney and cornlius Dabney settled near Piping Tree Ferry on Work River in Hanover County, Va. Cornelius had son, George Dabney, who came with them to America. The Dabneys were French Huguenots and to escape persecution came to America."¹

;
Per Dabney Family of Early VA:
     "George Dabney I was born to Cornelius and Edith Dabney ca. 1670 in New Kent County (later Hanover County), Virginia. He was probably their second son in birth order because he was listed second after James in the government committee report recommending issuance of patents to Cornelius’ four eldest children and second in the order of issuance of patents.
     "He was married to Elizabeth (Eliza) (__) ca. 1685 or a little later. They had 7 children, of whom at least 6 lived into adulthood: Mary; Elizabeth, born November 11, 1698; George II, born ca. 1701; Susannah; Sarah; Judith; and William, born about 1707-1710.
     "In 1701, he received a patent for 293 acres on the Pamunkey River in Pamunkey Neck, a part of King and Queen County that became King William County in 1703. His brother James and sisters Sarah and Dorothy Anderson received adjoining patents shown in Figure ____ because their father, Cornelius, had an earlier lease from the Pamunkey tribe during a period when patents were not issued because of a treaty with the tribe. In 1704, he paid a quit rent on 290 acres.
     "He was appointed a Justice of the Peace in March, 1702, when King William County was first set up after its separation from King and Queen County. He was reappointed Justice in 1726 and 1729. On November 1, 1705, the House of Burgesses summoned George Dabney and 11 others to appear concerning a grievance they sent from King William County to the Council. On November 9, George and the others appeared before the House and were examined. The House resolved that the grievance should be publicly burned as a scandalous and seditious paper. George and the others were required to express their regrets and beg pardon, which they did. In 1707, he bought a lot in Delaware Town (later West Point), which was laid out in 1706. In 1713, he petitioned the state Council to be made sheriff of King William County, citing his years of service as a Justice of the Peace from the formation of the county. He received a prompt appointment from the Governor and Council 10 days later.
     "In 1724, he obtained three patents foru a total of 1200 acres on Cub Creek in Hanover County (later Louisa County) that were about 36 miles from his first grant in King William County. In his will, he also mentioned an additional 500 acres and another property of unspecified size on Wolf Swamp (a creek) in Louisa County that were evidently purchased from private owners. George I and the four generations of George Dabneys that followed him continued to own the original 1701 tract in King William County until the mid 1800’s. In two of his later patents, he is described as Captain George Dabney, indicating that he was an officer in the county militia.
     "In 1722, he asked the Virginia authorities for permission to operate a ferry across the Pamunkey River from his property to the opposite bank and an enabling act was passed by the House of Burgesses. The act set the fares he could charge at 3 pence per man and per horse. In 1748, An Act for the Settlement and Regulation of Ferries that listed a large number of ferries on the James, York, Rappahannock, and other Rivers raised George Dabney II’s permitted fees to 6 pence per man and per horse. George Dabneys III and IV continued to operate the ferry and George IV left it to his sons George H. and Benjamin, George H. sold his share to Christopher Tompkins, a prosperous neighbor, in 1838. Benjamin and Christopher continued the ferry with an assessed valuation of $1,621 until 1851, when the valuation fell to $5 and by 1856 was no longer listed for taxes.
     "George Dabney I signed his will October 24, 1729, and was deceased before April, 1734. He bequeathed his home farm, which he obtained by patent in 1701, to his elder son, George Dabney II, together with the tract currently occupied by George II, probably the brick house near Enfield now called Seven Springs. He also gave to George II 600 of his 1200 acres on Cub Creek, half of his animal stock and household stuff on the Cub Creek property, all of the slaves in George’s possession, his new trooping saddle, new pistols, new silver hilted sword, brandy still, and half of his wearing apparel.
     "To his younger son, William, he gave the other 600 acres of his Cub Creek land, 500 acres located between the South Anna River and Taylor’s Creek, and his property on Wolf Creek. He also gave William half of the animal stock and household stuff on the Cub Creek property and all of the same on the 500 acres and Wolf Creek properties. He also gave William his walnut writing desk, old pistols, silver buttons, silver tankard, twelve silver spoons, half of his wearing apparel. and six named slaves.
     "To his daughter Susannah, he gave six slaves, her riding horse, side saddle, a feather bed and furniture of the best in the house. He gave his daughter, Mary Pettus, 20 shillings and his grandson, Dabney Pettus, son of Stephen and Mary Pettus, a slave named Frank. To his grandson, George Anderson, a son of his daughter Elizabeth and her husband, Matthew Anderson, he left a named slave and £20 when he when he reaches age 21, provided that his father would permit him to live with one or more of the will’s executors. He left the remaining part of his estate for the use and support of his wife, Eliza, and youngest daughters, Sarah and Judith. After Eliza’s death, any remaining proceeds of crop shipments to be divided among William, Susannah, Sarah, and Judith, and any remaining slaves, animal stock, and crops to be divided among Sarah and Judith.
     "He appointed his wife and sons George and William executors and signed the will October 24, 1729. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]"
