CORNISH GENEALOGY

My family came from Cornwall, England. The collapse of copper mining in the Redruth, Gwennap, Illogan, and Camborne parishes forced them to look for work in Northern England and Wales. John Harris CORNISH was born in 1811 in Gwennap, England, he married Ann THOMPSON in 1834 in Amlwck, Anglesey, Wales. Five of their seven children were born in Wales, the younger two sons were born in Dodgeville, Iowa County, Wisconsin.

STRANG, PRICE and WRIGHT were all surnames from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut Loyalist Families. Each family left property and family behind to support the English Crown. Richard PRICE arrived at Charlottetown, the Island of St. John (Prince Edward Island) from Shelburne, Nova Scoyia, a refugee settlement. Richard PRICE was one of two disbanded redcoat-veterans of the Seventh Regimant of Foot. This unit had been personally organized by King James II in 1685 as "Our Royal Regiment of Fusiliers." Richard had entered as a private soldier on December 23, 1780. Less than amonth later he was captured at the famous and crucial Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina on January 17, 1781.
