                   RESEARCH NOTE:
From Genealogy of the Cornell Family:  -1673, March 3, Mary Cornell, wife of John Cornell of Plymouth Colony, testified on the trial of her brother Thomas. 1673, July 4, he was one of those appointed by the court at Dartmouth, Mass., to take charge of so much of his brother Thomas estate as was in Dartmouth. 1676, Oct. 3, the Governor grants to John Cornell who with his wife and five small children, had been driven from the eastward by the Indians, a tract of 100 acres of land on the west side of Cow Neck. He built a house here, but the land was claimed by the inhabitants of Hempstead, who pulled the house down. Those concerned in this were afterwards indicted and convicted. (See full account in Onderdonks Queens County, pp. 9-10.) It may have been to quiet the title to this piece of land that Governor Andros issued a patent to John Cornell, Sept. 29, 1677, for 116 acres near the bottom of Cow Neck, adjoining Cow Bay, with a privilege of acquiring an additional 100 acres. This privilege was exercised when a patent was taken from Governor Dongan, dated Dec. 13, 1686, for 100 acres north of the above and extending to the Sound. A tract of land on the first grant was reserved for a family burying ground. John and his wife were both buried there. 
    -circa 1669 John married Mary Russell, daughter of John Russell (-13 Apr 1695) & Dorothy [Russell] (-13 Feb 1686/7).
