• Notes

  Gelyam Guilliamse Cornelise is the common ancestor of the Cornell family in America. The first record of him in New Amsterdam is a land purchase in Flatbush, Long Island, New York in 1658. In 1661 he and his son purchased a bowery (farm) in Flatbush of 48 margens and 480 rods. He also purchased two pieces of salt meadow of five margens, two pieces of land of five margens, two house plots with houses and barns and two black oxen, three milk cows, a wagon, plough, iron chain, and cramp-iron to hold saw teeth when filing ... all for 4500 guilders. Some believe him to be Huguenot. The surname for more than a century was Cornale, with the accent on the e; then it changed to Cornell.
