Cornelius first wife died before April, 1721, when he remarried to Sarah Jennings. They had six daughters: Mary; Elizabeth; Frances (Fanny); Anne (Anna); and two additional daughters whose forenames have not been found.
After the death of Cornelius II, his widow, Sarah, went to live with her daughter Frances and her husband, John Maupin, in Madison County, Kentucky, where she lived to an advanced age.
W. H. Dabneys Sketch of the Dabneys of Virginia states that Cornelius left large tracts in Spotsylvania County, but this writers search in the Spotsylvania Deed Indexes, which go back to 1722, found no Dabneys before 1817. The book also confused Cornelius Dabney II, son of Cornelius I, who lived in Hanover County, with Cornelius Dabney of King William County, who was a son of James Dabney, the eldest son of Cornelius I, and one of the four 1701 Dabney patentees in King William County. As a consequence, the first two children attributed to Cornelius II in the book are completely wrong and in their place should be the John, Cornelius, and William described above [children of the 1st wife]. The six daughters attributed to Cornelius II are confirmed by other sources. [1]

Cornelius Dabney, the executor of her will. He married Sarah Jennings on 17 April 1721 (Virginia Marriage Records, by Wm. M. Clemons, Virginia State Library). His will was proved on 7 Feb. 1765 in which he named his wife Sarah and children William, John, Cornelius (deceased), Mary Elizabeth Maupin, Fanny Maupin, and Anna Thompson (Hanover County Will Book 1, 1862-1868, Reel 1, beginning page 634, Virginia State Library).An executor of his will was his second son, John Dabney, who became a Brigadier General in the Revolutionary War.

GEDCOM Note

Life Sketch
Identification of nine children of Sarah and Cornelius DABNEY of the 1764 Will. In the 22 October 1764 Hanover Will of Cornelius DABNEY, he identified three sons: John, William, and his deceased son, Cornelius. By name he identified three daughters; Frances DABNEY Maupin; Elizabeth DABNEY Maupin and Anne DABNEY Thompson. By inference of naming three sons-in-law, he identified his deceased daughter, Mary [Mrs. Christopher HARRIS]; an unidentified daughter who married Matthew BROWN, an unidentified daughter who married William JOHNSON. Therefore, through this 1764 Will, it can be ascertained that Cornelius DABNEY and his wife Sarah, had at least nine children. 2 July 2016 by elizabethdrakechatlin1
