Notes:
                   Cornelius learned the trade of cooperage, but it is doubtful that he ever worked hard at making barrels or anything else.  He took possession of his father's estate which was apportioned to him as early as 1760.  It was a noble inheritance of at least 600 acres.
His last days were of poverty by comparison with his early life.  He was so careless in financial matters, lending money too freely and unwisely.  He also paid large sums to take up forged notes of his eldest son Benjamin. About the year 1789 he sold his house and lands to Jacobus Bogardus.  Whle he lived another 15 years, further mention of him ceases in the records.
