- It is a possibility that this Cornelius, son of Isaac and Lydia, is the one who lived in Howard, Steuben County, NY instead of Cornelius, son of Cornelius, born in CT. Because the Cornelius in Howard had children by the names of Caleb and Lydia,(uncle and mother's names) leads me to believe this is this correct person who lived in Howard, NY. Need to be checked further.
He was taken prisoner in the War of 1812. (Home Folks Book of Darius Myer's Family)
In the 1830 census, Cornelius was living in Cameron, Steuben county next door to Charles Brown, the son of Eunice M.Brown, Cornelius's sister. Although it doesn't show that Eunice is with her family, the rest of the family fits in the profile. Eunice may have been off taking care of her elderly widowed father.
Cornelius III, was a mason by trade but in early life followed the sea for some years. He married in 1809, at Groton, CT, Abigail Lankton. After stopping at various places, among which was Fabrious, Onondaga County, NY. In 1827 they located on Oak Hill, Canisteo Township, but later removed in 1828 to Howard township, a short distance from his former home, where he afterward resided.
In 1811,he was living in New London, CT and was a seaman, sailing to Barbados on the Brig. Harriet, which departed New London on August 8, 1811. The ship's log lists him as a crewman, and was 36 years of age, born in New Bedford and living in New London. He was dark complexioned.
