There is no reliable source for the name of a wife or wives.
Children seen as:
- Cutemwha (The Wolf) In the 1780s, Cutemwha (also known as Piaseka or Biaseka), would emerge an important Shawnee chief.[7]
- Allanawissica (also called Elinipsico).[1] Elinipsico died with his father at Point Pleasant. [3] [8]
- Wissecapoway, aka Captain Morgan, was a Shawnee held captive by Lord Dunmore during 1775 in Williamsburg, VA. He is also said to be a son of Cornstalk, the Shawnee Chief. [9] Dunmore later released him. Nothing more is known about him.
- A unnamed daughter was mentioned in the pension application of a Henry Aleshite who stated he was at Point Pleasant when Cornstalk and a white man who was married to Cornstalk's daughter were murdered. Her name is not given, nor is the name of the 'white man.' [10]
Peter Cornstalk (Wynepeuchsika), a noted Shawnee chief, was apparently not Cornstalk's son, as is sometimes written.[11]
