I represent Mrs. Cornish. I was on a list of Officer’s Ladies who had died during the years 1765-1767. There was a yellow fever epidemic during that time, which probably claimed me in 1765. My husband is not named on this list, but it may be Lt. William Cornish of His Majesty’s 31st Regiment of Foot. I probably still lie in an unmarked grave in Pensacola.
