In the same year, John Cornelius married <A HREF="spainhr.html">Elizabeth Spainhour</A> (1780-?). We suspect that Jeremiah and John were brothers, but would like more documentation.<P> In 1790, West Cornelius appears in Stokes Co. NC, and Andrew Cornelius is in Surry County. Is either of these men the father of Jeremiah and John?<P> The will of Richard Phillips dated 19 Mar 1807, probated December term 1816, Stokes Co., names his brother's son Foster Phillips and his children: Hezekiah Phillips, John Phillips, Jeremiah Cornelius and John Cornelius. Michael Spainhour Sr. and Jr. were witnesses. These are the father and brother respectively of Elizabeth Spainhour Cornelius.<P> Elizabeth Cornelius age 71 appears in the 1850 Forsyth County census with Rebecca, Mary and Philipina Cornelius who we think are her daughters. In that year Anna Cornelius age 53 is living with Charles and Martha (Goslen) Philips. In 1860, Anna age 58 is head of household, and Rebecca, Mary and "Phoena" are living with her. <P> Another Elizabeth Cornelius, age 73 in 1850, is living with Zebedee Cornelius age 41. John W. Cornelius and Samuel Cornelius are nearby, each with a large family. The census record states that this Elizabeth was born in Maryland, whereas the other one was born in North Carolina. Since we know from Spainhour family records that Elizabeth Spainhour Cornelius was born in NC, we think that Elizabeth age 73 is probably Elizabeth Billeter Cornelius. Was she the daughter of Zebediah or Zebedee Billeter who appears in the Surry Co. 1786 tax list?<P> <HR> <H4>Second Generation</H4> Possible children of John Cornelius and Elizabeth Spainhour<BR> Anna Cornelius (ca. 1797-?).

Cornelius (1850-?)<P> We are assuming two marriages for Samuel based on the assumption that there's only one Samuel Cornelius living in Stokes/Forsyth Co. in this time frame, and are allocating the children based on the 1850 census, which shows a long gap between Elijah and Laura. Samuel and Polly's household in 1850 also includes Fanny Myers 9. Was this Polly's daughter from a previous marriage?<P> ----------<P> Children of John W.
