Missouri. He appears in the 1820,1830,1840 census of Indiana.
He likely appears in the 1850 census of Monroe Co, Missouri with his
wife Jane.
He married a Jane or Joanna Cloud about 1820 in Indiana. She
died in the late 1840s early 1850s in Monroe County, Missouri.
In 1853 he married Fannie (Dungan) Totten in Shelby Co, Missouri.
In 1860 he appears in the census of Jefferson Twp, Shelby Co,
Missouri with his wife Frances (or Fanny). They
had three children: William Sampson Jefferson Cornelius, Mary Elizabeth
Cornelius, and Tamar Cornelius who died as a child.
From his prior marriage he is reported to have had many
children. The 3 photographs listed above are likely children from
