The marriage of Clemence Remington & Clarke Cornell took place at Newport, which is close to Jamestown, where this family lived. BSR says John died at Newport.

Clarke Cornell died 25 July 1800 aged 37
John Cornell died 28 July 1791 aged 1 month 28 days (so he was born in June)
John Cornell died 14 Aug 1795 aged 1 month 7 days (which would make him born in July but the birth record clearly reads June)
Clarke Cornell died 23 Aug 1797 aged 1 day and 7 hours (which makes no sense given his birth date)
Jonathan Paston Cornell died 11 Aug 1800 aged 5 months
All of this is in the same handwriting (presumably Clemence's) and at the end in another handwriting
Clemence Cornell died 12 Jan 1838 aged 71 years 8 months and 26 days
There was no mention of any marriages.
