In 1870 he and his family lived next door to my ancestors (Bowen/Bohan) in Castleton, Staten Island. The census lists the wife of Cornelius as Bridget, and children Mary, John, Catherine and Dennis. There is also a Cornelius Donovan (died 1900) buried next to my Bowens in St. Peter's Cemetery. The tombstone shows him buried with his wife, Margaret, who died 1920, and also names a daughter, Mary. I am not certain about whether this is the same Cornelius Donovan. Do you have any of these names among your Staten Island Donovans? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Kathleen
