Mr. & Mrs. Cornell are members of the Methodist ProtestantChurch o f which they have been members for thirty years, and three of thechildren are in the same mem bership. Stock raising engages much of thetime of Mr. Cornell, and his farm is well adapte d to the keeping of finestock. Meade District AARON W. CORNELL, II Son of Aaron Cornell, I Grandson of Jacob Cornell& brother of our gre at grandfather, John E. Cornell. AARON W. CORNELL was born and wedded in Tyler county, his birthoccurring April 25, 1852, a nd his marriage consummated in 1879. AaronCornell, his father, lived in this county, died i n Union district, wherehis mother now lives. Her maiden name was Rebecca Long. Arabell,daug hter of Thomas and Ruth Anne Railing Simmons, is the wife of Mr.Cornell, and she was born i n Monroe county, Ohio,September 28, 1860. Herfather was a soldier of the Federal army throug h the war of the States, amember of the 116th Ohio Infantry, and participated in the many bat tlesin which that regiment was engaged. They now make their home in Tyler county, coming to this county fromOhio. Mr. & Mrs. Cornel l have one son and one daughter May, bornJanuary 7, 1880, and Silas E., born June 9, 1882 . Mr Cornell is ofFrench and English descent, and the Cornell family have made their recordi n the annals of American history. Aaron W. Cornell is carrying on anexcellent farm in Mead d istrict, and he receives his mail at Hebron,Pleasants county, West Virginia. This is correspondence from a few doubtful people? Hi, Sandy, That sounds like very complete information on this family. Can you tell me what your source s are? I need to include that detail in my GEDCOM and also my update of the Cornell genealog y of Prentiss Glazier, i.e., Gifford, Sandy Corr. , census recs., cemetery recs. I don t need copies of your sources but want to list what they are. In that way, anyone who h appens to be related to you will know where the data came from. Consider that we have lost s o much good information because the genealogists before us failed to say where they got what . Most of us today know we can t get away with that, or our research will not be taken serio usly. My source said that Jocob married a Mary .. Any chance that Drusilla had that as a middl e name, or she was a second wife? There is a considerable gap between the last two childre n where Jacob could have remarried. As you provided her full name, I have to assume you kno w a personal interest in it. I m also quite impressed that you bothered to collect spouses a nd dates for all family members rather than just your own personal line. This enhances you r opportunity to find cousins. My information on this family came from two correspondents between 10 and 20 years ago. I ha ve no idea if they are still living. They are 1. McClanahan, Mrs. Betty 2. Cornell, Margaret will of Benjamin Cornell of Frederick Co., MD land recs. of Frederic k Co. tombstones of Harney, MD, family recs. It s my suspicion that Betty s information may have come originally from Margaret. In a fe w places, this was indicated. I have probably updated my GEDCOM relative to the one posted a t my web site. If you need more detail on what I have from Margaret, I can look in her correspondence file. I keep everything. I don t have their addresses real handy at the mome nt but will be glad to look them up if they are of interest to you. If I recall correctly, B etty was in Missouri, and Margaret was in Ohio. Both were quite generous with their informat ion and were obviously very nice ladies. Am pretty sure I can also tell you how they are con nected to the family of Smith and Benjamin Cornell.
