"After the baptism of his daughter Rachel on Staten Island in 1728, there is no
further allusion to him in the records of the church, so it was probably about
this time that he removed to Amwell, as we find both Cornelius and Rut Johnson
as owing John Severns of Trenton in the inventory of his estate."
American Weekly Mercury, 7 Mar. 1738
"Ran-away on the 24th of February, from Cornelius Johnson of Amwell in Hunterdon
County, an Irish Servant man named Cornelius Hannigan, about 35 Years of age, of
short Stature and a round visage. He had on when he went away, a new Felt
Hat, a light Wig or a blue course Cap, an old light colour'd Kersey Coat without
Cuffs, and a brown Coat with green lining; a Lindsey-Woolsey Jacket with red
Lining, very much patch'd about the fore Lappels; a short Flannel Jacket; a pair
of old Leather Breeches mended on the Knees, with brass Buttons, and every way
too big for him; a pair of Gray Stockings, and a new pair of Shoes with Steel
Buckles not fellows. Whoever secures the said Servant and gives Notice
thereof to his Master so that he may have him again, shall have Forty Shillings
Reward and reasonable Charges, paid. By Cornelius Johnson"
"Cornelius Johnson was very wealthy for those times, as the following

200 lbs, when 21; da. Sarah 40 lbs; da. Elizabeth 50 lbs; Mary 50 lbs; Rachel 40
lbs; Ann 70 lbs; Winifret 60 lbs; Johanna 70 lbs; Rebecca 70 lbs; Estate
sold and settled 27 Oct 1786.
After the death of Sarah Manbrutt, Mr. Johnson married a second time, Ann Stout,
sister of James, Jr. who had m. Johanna Johnson, sister of Cornelius."
