• Notes

  . Nothing is known of the wife of Richard Cornell, beyond the fact that her name was Elizabeth. The date of the marriage must have been about 1655 & as it is not recorded In New Amsterdam where other Cornell records are found, it seems probable that it took place on Long Island, not long after Richard Cornell settled there. Edward Jessup was Justice of the Peace at Newtown, where he settled about 1653; this town adjoining Flushing, where Richard Cornell lived. Jessup removed about 1663, to Westchester & in 1665, he represented that town in the Hempstead Convention, of which Richard Cornell was a member. . 1666 or earlier, he purchased a tract of land now known as Hunt's Point, adjoining Cornell's Neck, then owned by Sarah Bridges. It is reasonable to suppose that Jessup's purchase was a result of his intimacy with Richard Cornell & Sarah Bridges. . 1666 Aug. 16, WILL of Jessup appoints his wife sole executrix & names as overseers of his will "my well beloved friends Mr. Richard Cornhill, Justice of the Peace, Mrs. Sarah Bridges, my well beloved brother-in-law John Burroughs & Ralph Hunt." That Jessup should have placed Cornhill & Bridges first, naming them before his brother-in-law & nephew Hunt who was probably a kinsman of Thomas Hunt, perhaps son-in-law, seems to indicate some strong family tie & this belief is strengthened by the fact that Flushing where they lived was a long way from Westchester & that one of these overseers was a woman & therefore not likely to have been chosen for business considerations. All this seems to point to the probability that Richard Cornell's wife was a relative, perhaps a sister of Edward Jessup. - - - [1]
