- Sarah Cornwell1761 - 1811
Facts and Events
Notes
Assuming that dates are correct, Sarah was born when Ann was only 11 years old. Sarah was known as "Buckner" in her marriage record. She was not included in the support Ann Cornwell, widow of John Cornwell, received for herself and two small children[4] (presumably Peyton and Elizabeth, both mentioned in Ann's will[2]). While the last could have been because Sarah was too old to be eligible for support (without having researched the petition or the rules, it is not clear if this might be true), it could also be because she was not the child of John Cornwell. All these facts together suggest that Sarah was Ann's daughter from before her marriage to John Cornwell. Further understanding of the genetic testing[5] might help clarify this.

p. 13 "Wm. Brown married Elizabeth Buckner, a widow, about the year 1756 or 1757, who had three children by her first marriage, viz.--Anthony, Ann, and Clary."
p. 15 "Be it known unto all men that I William Brown of the County of Prince William for the affection I bear unto Sarah Buckner, a near relation of my wife, but more especially with regard to a marriage contract she is about to enter with George Kincheloe of Fauquier County which marriage I am desirous (of) and consenting thereto I thereby by these presents do give unto her the said Sarah Buckner and her heirs forever 100 acres of land near Occoquon in Prince William County containing by survey made by Samuel Byrn, more or less, in occupation of one Bobo; and one negro girl named Frank; Frank being a daughter of Lyd a wench I purchased of Gabriel Moffett, which land and girl I by this deed of gift confirm unto the above Sarah."
The gift from William Brown shows that Sarah was known as Sarah Buckner at the time of her marriage. It appears that Sarah was the granddaughter of Elizabeth, who first married Peyton Buckner and then William Brown.

collaboration page: "Genetic testing of descendants of Peyton Cornwell and George Kincheloe suggest George's wife was Sarah Cornwell, daughter of Ann Buckner and John Cornwell."
There isn't enough information here to know whether the genetic testing suggests a full sibling relationship between Sarah and Peyton or if it could have been a half-sibling relationship.
