Union District: BENJAMIN CORNELL: Youngest son of Jacob Cornell and brother of ourancestor, Aaron Cornell, I . "Benjamin Cornell - has a farm of 144 acres of land under cultivation in Union district, Tyl er county, West Virginia. He was born in this county, September 19, 1826, a son of Jacob an d Drusilla (Ankrom) Cornell, andboth his father's and mother's people were of prominence amon g the early settlers of this county. His parents are no longer living, and their graves ar e on the homestead farm. April 2, 1857, in Tyler county, were spoken the words joining in on e the lives of Benjamin Cornell and Rhoda Hissam, and on the following dates their four child ren were born: Sarah J., April 9, 1858; Mary A ,m May 8, 1864; Louisa, January 3, 1867; Albe rt,December 28, 1876. The oldest daughter lives in Meade district the otherchildren at home . Thomas and Sarah Hissam were the parents of Rhoda Hissem, who was born in Tyler County, Ap ril 4, 1830. Her parents were among the early settlers in this county, and both and both li e buried atBoles Mills. 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.

I have a Jacob Cornell who died in 1829 in Tyler Co. VA (WV)--Will. Is this your Jacob Cornel l? Glory I hope so. He married Drusilla Andrum, daughter of Aaron Ankrum and Mary Marley in F rederick Co. Md. I imagine as that is where she was from. I have a list of his 11 children.
His daughter Married Andrew Bullman, which is my husband's line. I have never been able to fi nd where Jacob came from.

Th e trip was 2700 miles long. Elias took with him a pack, his booie knife located in his boot , and a mule named "Old Abe". The following was written by Hiram Ogden who was 22 years old w hen the wagon train left Fairfield "The Bierly outfit crossed the Missouri River at Council B luffs to where Omaha, Nebraska is today. They train then followed up the Platte River to For t Laramie, then to the Black Hills in Sough Dakota.

From the notes of M. Fenimore:
Burial: 22 Jun 1968 Portland, Multnomah, Oregon Reference: 23 Residence: a rental home 24 Dec 1899 Central Point, Oregon SSAN: Portland, Multnomah, Oregon
Individual: Mary had a bit of wisdom about her. She told her granddaughter Patsy Stowell that if she eve r lived in a home where the house plants would not live in that the home should be vacated an d not lived in. Mary had a Parakeet for a pet. One day as Mary was swatting a fly with a news paper her Parakeet had the misfortune of taking off on a in house flight and flew into the pa th of the swinging newspaper. He did not survive the ordeal. Mary tried to resuscitate her pe t and cried a lot of tears over his accidental demise. Mary lived in the St. Johns section o f Portland, Oregon until just a few years before her death when she moved into a nursing home . Mary kept a log of every home she and her family lived in from October 1893 in Cincinnati , Iowa until January 1934 in Portland, Oregon. One week after marriage Mary started working a s a housekeeper on a farm owned by people named Monfort in Cincinnati, Iowa. Mary chooses t o be poetic with her last name. During the time she was dating Charles she signed her letter s as Mary E. J. Ankrim. Mary also wrote the following poem to Charles on 15 May 1893 when she was living in Glasgow , Iowa :"Remember me when death Shall close my eyelids In their last response When the evening breezes Shall gently wave the grass O're your true friends grave."
Letter from Edna Flack 11/2/97:
"John and Mary Ankrom, Mother's brother and sister, went to Oregon when my mother [Sarah] wa s young. Mary married a Hayes. She had eleven children and said if she ever had another one s he would give it away......And she did.....Rex, her last. I don't know the rest of the story. " The "rest of the story" is as follows: Mary was quite tired of children when Dave (Rex) wa s born and Mary worked a deal out with a Lue and Maddie Miller to take Dave at birth and rais e him. Mary made this decision without consulting Charles. Dave was raised by the Millers unt il he was six years old at which time they divorced. Dave was than sent to live with his sist er Grace until Mary and Charles came and took him home again.
Mary Jane Ankrom and Charlie Hayes were married in 1893, just a few weeks before her 16th bir thday. Charlie was 25. At that time he had a barber shop. Mary Jane had been "hiring out", do ing housework and helping with children at neighboring farms, earning $1.50 per week.. Afte r their marriage they "went to housekeeping on Monfort's farm".
