Does anyone know who the parents were of this Cornelia Brink ? Cornelia Brink, born ca 1730 at Skippekonk married Benjamin Swartwout on March 31, 1754 (RDC Walpack, Sussex Co., NJ). She and Benjamin Swartwout had only one child, Minne, who was bp in 1759 RDC Walpack. Benjamin Swartwout died c. 1759 - the same year the child was born. At some time later (I do not have the marriage date), widow Cornelia Brink married Adam Shick of Delaware, Northampton Co., PA. She and Adam Shick lived just south of Dingman's Ferry on the PA side of the Delaware River. In 1774, a son Benjamin Shick was bp at the RDC Walpack. Any help with this Cornelia Brink and who her parents were would be appreciated. Many thanks, Helen Graves

Helen, In "A Brink Book" by Laurel Powell, she says that Cornelia is the daughter of Cornelis Brink and Maria Cool even though there is no baptismal record found. She is apparently named for Maria's mother Cornelia van Lieuwe. It is a place to start looking anyway. Hope it helps.
