Dear Claire,
As for your comment, “looking back at Cornstalk it seems to just have been… made up?” I’m not sure what you’re referring to. I do assure you that the Surname of “Cornstalk” families are very much alive and well today; still having children.
Julia Scot of Scottish descent, was his 3rd wife. She is believed to have had 5 children with him. Two remained Cornstalk’s, 3 took the Surname of Ailstock. As for any indiscretions on her part, that’s only for her to know.
Many of his children, from all three wives took on Christian Names as Blue Sky did; changing her name to Mary. Aracoma Snow CORNSTALK, among others daughter Sarah, Susannah, Esther and Elizabeth. It happened for whatever reason.
Please don’t be offended by my comment here, I’m just not sure where it is that you’re assuming is made up here?
As always,
Sheila Jean Adkins Metcalf
