1920 census: Cornelia Rearden is living in District 7, Gregg Township, Aiken County, SC, listed as "aunt" in the home of John and Belle Powell, their son Joseph, and John's mother-in-law Susan Rearden. 1910 census: Cornelia Rearden is living in District 6, Gregg Township, Aiken County, SC, listed as "sister" in the home of Susan Rearden and Susan's daughter, Belle. This suggests that Cornelia is actually Susan's sister-in-law, and the sister of Susan's husband/Belle's father. 1880 census: Cornelia (incorrectly indexed by Ancestry as "Camelia"...Billie, where did you see "Clarissa"?) Rearden is living in District 4, Gregg Township, Aiken County, SC, listed as "sister" in the home of Robert and Susan Rearden. 1870 census: Cornelia Reardon (incorrectly indexed by Ancestry as "Rardon") is living in Gregg Township, Edgefield County, SC, in the home of Robert and Susan Reardon.
