Hi Marfy There may not be a conflict after all. It's possible that Cornelius' mother died and his father moved to Hunterdon and remarried - twice. The DC definitely says he was born in Warren County, which technically didn't exist in 1806. But I think it's possible that the family moved. Also possible that whoever supplied the info didn't know the correct answers. :) I'll see if I can dig up any info on Elijah. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marfy Goodspeed" <marfyg@gmail.com> To: <njhunter@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 5:46 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Cornelius Myers > Hey Helen, > Thanks for sending out all that info.
