  • Notes 
    • Joseph was in the Revolutionary War.

      I am making an assumption that Ensign Joseph Cornell, whose grave is in the Cornell-Briggs Lot in East Greenwich, is the father of Mary Martin (Cornell) Briggs, also buried there.

      Joseph had one child with his first wife, Sarah Potter, and nine children with his second, Ruth Baker. (note from Violet Kettelle in RI Cemetery Database)
