Notes for Joe (Spouse 1)
JOSEPH CORNELLS and his wife
Joseph Cornells.
LifeNotes: His son-in-law Alexander McGillivray was no fan; in September, 1788, he wrote that Cornell's cowardice was "proverbial". In 1790, Cornell accompanied McGillivray to New York City. In June, 1793, after McGillivray's death of consumption, Cornell was interpreter for Spanish agent Pedro Olivier, though in December of that year he hosted American agent James Seagrove.
Born: 1707, England; Married: Died: 1795
Wife: a Tuckabatchee woman from the Wind Clan
Their known children are:
• George Washington Cornells aka Big Warrior aka Tustenuggee Thloco. Married Autucky aka Tuskenua, widow of Mad Dog. Big Warrior raised Mad Dog's children as his own, and it is thought that those children took Cornells as their surnames. Children of Autucky and Big Warrior were: Seechy Cornells (m. son of Mad Dog), Checartha Yargee (was one of the biggest slave owners; m. Millie McQueen, Nancy McQueen, Tallassee McQueen, daughters of Elizabeth Durant and Peter McQueen. It is said Checartha was a loving husband to all three wives and to all children) .
• James "Jim" Cornells. Married Betsy Coulter. In 1813, Peter McQueen and Jim Boy kidnapped Betsy, because James refused to join the Redsticks. They sold Betsy to Madame Barone's in Pensacola. James "Jim" Cornells died in Claiborne, AL at home of his sister, Mrs. Oliver. James inherited a slave named Ned in his brother Big Warrior's will.
• Anna Cornells. Married (-?), son of Big Warrior. Was a "friendly Indian". Lived near Tuskegee. Whites set her house on fire, stole two black slaves, and an young boy and sent Anna fleeing for her life. ("Creeks and Seminoles", J. Leitch Wright, Jr.)
• Vicey Cornells. Married 1st-Alexander McGillivray. See their page. Married 2nd-Zachariah McGirth. Vicey and eight of her McGirth children are at Fort Mims during the massacre; one child died. Vicey and 7 of her children are saved by the young warrior Sanota / Jim Boy.
• Lucy Cornells.
• David Cornells aka Tustenuggee Hadjo or Dog Warrior, was a violently anti-American chief who was killed by the Americans on July 2,1793. The accounts of his death vary. From Thomas Woodward: He was killed by a man named Hampton in retaliation for the death of a relative, or, from benjamin Hawkins: more likely, by an officer named McDonald by mistake.
Hawkins wrote that Cornell was killed while taking a peace flag to the Americans at Colerain. James Sea-grove, notifying the family of the murder, commented to David's cousin, Alexander Cornell, that "this, my dear Alexander, is the most distressing thing I ever net with in my life". Joseph Cornell was apparently not so distressed; a Spaniard noted that "old Cornell is so glad that the Americans have killed his son that he would kiss their behind if they asked it of him". The opportunistic Joseph did send his son George to collect a six hundred piaster indemnity from the Americans.
