  1. 2.  Gardner Thurston Cornell was born 20 Jul 1797, RI (son of Gideon Cornell and Rebekah Childs); died 13 Oct 1884, Edgartown, Dukes Co., MA; was buried , Westside Cemetery, Edgartown, MA.

    Notes:

    According to his death record, he died at age 87 y 2 m 25 d. It identifies his birthplace as Newport, RI, and his parents as Gideon and Belinda Cornell.

    Consequently, I am not absolutely sure Gardner belongs to this couple, but some of the names of his children suggest that he does, as well as a connection to Beaufort, SC. Compare the names of his sons with his uncle John J., and with his uncle's two sons. I am wondering if the informant at his death gave the incorrect name of his mother. Since he died in old age, as a widower, it is possible that the informant at the time did not remember his mother's name correctly.

    It is also possible that his father Gideon was married twice, with Belinda being a second wife.

    In the 1850 Federal Census, the family is at Edgartown, MA: Gardner T. Cornell 52 born Newport, RI; Mary 59 born Edgartown; Gideon 26 Ed. mariner; Enoch C. 23 Ed. painter; William G. 20 Ed. ship carpenter; George B. 17 Ed. laborer; Velma Coffin 64 Ed.
