 General Notes:
DNA evidence has proved that this Thomas Cornell is related to Sgt. William Cornell of Connecticut. Thomas Jr. was married twice. He had four children by the first and three by the second, a total of 4 sons and 3 daughters. Their names were Thomas, Edward, Stephen, John, Innocent, and 2 other unknown daughters. He was tried in R.I. courts in 1673 for murdering his mother. She had died in a fire and instead of believing it was an accident, they accused her son of murder. He was sentenced to hang. One of his descendants helped found Cornell University.
Thomas married Elizabeth FISCOCK. (Elizabeth FISCOCK was born in 1624 3 and died in 1658 in Portsmouth, , (now) Rhode Island 3.)
