Plutarch tells us that as he was about to enter the boat, he turned to his wife and son and repeated the verses of Sophocles......Whatever man upon a tyrant takes his way, His salve he is, even though a freeman when he goes."
So we do know that at least one of his sons were there but not which one. I do know that he had two sons and a daughter, Gnaeus Pompeius, Sextus Pompeius, and Pompeia, from his marriage to this third wife, Mucia, but don't know if he had any with Cornelia whom he married in 52 BC. He died in September of 48 BC.
Cornelia did not accompany Pompey on campaign. She joined him at Mytilene after the battle of Pharsalus.
