Cornwall, John - John Cornwall, a native of Danbury, Conneticut, ... was arrested by the Americans in New York in May 1776, and imprisoned at Epopus for five months; his estate was immediately confiscated, and his wife and three sons were "cast out and plundered of everything even to the last of their wearing apparel, and left in great distress during the fall and winter." In the fall of 1776 Cornwall escaped from prison ... in February 1778 he came to Detroit with the winter express. His sons Wheeler, John Jr., and Joshua, did not come from Danbury to join their father until the spring of 1789, when there were prospects of getting land...
...After a short time there he received a grant of Lot 97 in the New Settlement on Lake Erie, which he farmed until July 1789, when he sold it. Two years later he received a grant of Lot 13, on the Thames River in Camden Township; and his sons Joshua and Wheeler the next two lots above him. John Cornwall, Jr., received the lot behind his father, in the second concession...Wheeler carried on his trade as a carpenter in Detroit until 1796, and later at Amherstburg. In January 1811, he sold his Thames farm to Lemuel Sherman, who had worked the farm for a number of years...

I'm seeking some definitive evidence that Mary CORNWALL, wife of Francis RICHARDSON (m.c. 1823, Essex County) is indeed the daughter of Wheeler CORNWALL (son of John CORNWALL, U.E., and Mary BENEDICT) and Sylvia Unknown.

Wheeler CORNWALL had a daughter, Mary, born 22 SEP 1806, Essex County, Upper Canada, christened 1 MAY 1808, St. John Anglican Church, Sandwich, Essex County. Following his death in 1816, she inherited Lot 94, Concession 1, Colchester Township, Essex County.

...

My best clue to date that Wheeler's daughter Mary was Francis's wife:

Mary's paternal grandmother, Mary BENEDICT CORNWALL, sold 100 acres in Lot 2, Concession 2, Colchester Township, to Francis RICHARDSON for the paltry sum of 5 shillings (according to the township's Abstract Index) in 1833.

The grandmother, Mary BENEDICT CORNWALL, then wrote a will 7 days later, leaving land to all of her grandchildren - excluding Wheeler's daughter, Mary CORNWALL. The property for those grandchildren surrounded the land she had just sold to Francis RICHARDSON.
