Looking for Abram Abraham Petry Petrie

I know that Abraham Petrie married a Margaret Johnson in Canada, circa 1797. I am missing a generation that shows that Margaret is related to Joseph Brandt/Molly Brandt
Child of Margaret and Abraham is Mary Petrie, listed in a family bible as Indian
Mary Petrie married John Cornwell

I have been researching the Cornwell side. I cannot seem to find anything on John Cornwell and Mary Petry. It is if they did not exist. I have found parents and children of him but nothing on the two of them. Where did you find your information?

Nice to hear from a fellow Cornwell/Cornwall/Cornell researcher. I agree that "official" records are few and far between. I rely on the family bible starting information for John and Mary. Children of John/Mary: James Leonard 1842-1850, Thomas C 1844-1929, Abraham 1847-1847, Ellen 1847-1932, Samuel C 1850-1920, Mariah 1851-1851, John 1854-1854, Prudence 1856-1857, John B 1859-
I am looking for the parents of Margaret Johnson wife of Abraham/Abram Petrie/Petry. Sir William Johnson married into the Brant Family, and it is one generation that I am missing, that ties Margaret Johnson to Joseph Brant and sister Margaret "Molly" Brant.
