Hi! Your post on this issue is the first one to make any sense to me. At this point I can't tell you if any of those Dentons or Cornells are related, but I appear to be a descendant of the first pair. The confusion between them and the second pair has been driving me nuts, because the dates simply didn't match up for my family. After spending many hours digging uselessly at the Cornell/Jessup connection, I'm curious to know where you found info on the Cornell/Denton/Barber family--your post is the only place I've seen it! Most other sources seem to be lumping the two pairs into one, despite the date discrepancies. Any info you can provide would be greatly appreciated, and if I'm then able to use what I've got to make any kind of connection between the families (or rule it out), I'll be happy to share.
