  1. 2.  Benjamin Cornell was born 21 Aug 1778, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI (son of Joseph Cornell and Ruth Baker); died 1829; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd., East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    I have estimated Benjamin's birth year. Unfortunately, no dates are inscribed on his gravestone.

    Benjamin — Comfort Peirce. Comfort was born Between 1776 and 1780; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd., East Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Comfort Peirce was born Between 1776 and 1780; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd., East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this Comfort is the one mentioned as a daughter in the will of William Peirce of East Greenwich. This will was written and dated 15 July 1791, proved 27 August 1791. I have used this information in estimating her birth date.

    If the above assumption is correct, she was a daughter, probably the youngest, of William & Catherine. Her siblings, as mentioned in the will, were Phebe (w/o Caleb Andrews), Sarah (w/o John Place), Deborah, & Mary.

    Children:
    1. 1. Joseph M. Cornell was born 1800; died 1 May 1879; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Knotty Oak Rd., Coventry, RI.


Generation: 3

  1. 4.  Joseph Cornell was born 16 Apr 1737, RI (son of Richard Cornell and Mary Martin); died 1803; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI.

    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)

    Joseph — Ruth Baker. Ruth was born , Nova Scotia; was buried , NY. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Ruth Baker was born , Nova Scotia; was buried , NY.
    Children:
    1. 2. Benjamin Cornell was born 21 Aug 1778, East Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 1829; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd., East Greenwich, RI.
    2. Mary Martin Cornell was born 21 Jan 1785, East Greenwich, RI; died 15 Feb 1870, East Greenwich, RI; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI.


Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Richard Cornell died Abt Apr 1783; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI.

    Notes:

    Based on the names of his children as mentioned in his will, and also the location of his burial, I am making an assumption that Richard is father of Joseph Cornell. This makes sense because Richard's wife was Mary Martin, and Joseph had a daughter named Mary Martin Cornell.

    Richard — Mary Martin. Mary died Aft 5 Oct 1780; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Mary Martin died Aft 5 Oct 1780; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI.
    Children:
    1. 4. Joseph Cornell was born 16 Apr 1737, RI; died 1803; was buried , Cornell-Briggs Lot, Fox Run Rd, East Greenwich, RI.
