Descendants of Benjamin Cornell of Lewiston, New York

This file details only the family and descendants of Benjamin Cornell of Lewiston, Niagara County, New York, and his three wives. Benjamin’s Cornell ancestry will be presented in other files. Benjamin was born into a family of 14 children, and had a total of 14 children himself, but his first two died in infancy, another son died young in a train car coupling accident, and his two youngest daughters became nuns. Some of the information found online regarding the children of Benjamin Cornell is incorrect, so this is my attempt to correct it. My own ancestor was his only surviving son, Nelson James Cornell, and a great deal of thanks goes to my cousin David James Cornell, for helping to research Catholic records, and his late father, Henry William Cornell Jr., as well as the Lewiston Town Historians.

(VIII.32) Benjamin⁸ Cornell, eighth son of (VII.27) Lemuel⁷ Cornell, (VI.25) Seth⁶, (V.23) George⁵, (IV.19) William⁴, (III.7) Stephen³, (II.2) Thomas² (Jr.), (I.1) Thomas¹; born in Caledonia, Livingston Co., NY, on 19 Mar. 1822,[1] settled in Lewiston, Niagara Co., NY, in ca. 1839,[2] married 1.)

Benjamin Cornell was the Niagara County Postmaster under President James Buchanan, owned a grocery and liquor store in Lewiston, was the American Express Agent for Lewiston,[16] and he was the Mayor of Lewiston Village in ca. 1878, and the Lewiston Town Clerk in 1895.[17] He died on 30 Apr. 1899 in Lewiston, aged 77 years, of a skin tumor, and was buried next to all three of his wives in the Lewiston Village Cemetery, next to the First Presbyterian Church in Lewiston.[18] His obituary, in the Niagara Falls Gazette of 1 May 1899, says that he left a wife and 7 children: Nelson Cornell, Mrs. Charles Collard, of Lewiston, Mrs. William Tenbrook, of Olcot, Mrs. Lawrence Burke, and Misses Minnie, Annie, and Miriam, of Buffalo,[19] but no probate records were filed for his estate in Niagara Co., NY. Ellen Bridget (Derry) Cornell was not found in the 1900 federal census, or the 1905 state census, but she was living with her daughter and son-in-law, Egbert T. and Elizabeth M. Brown, in Buffalo, Erie Co., NY, in the 1910 federal census.[20] She died a widow on 18 Jan. 1912 in Lewiston, NY, aged 77 years,[21] and was also buried in Lewiston Village Cemetery, next to the First Presbyterian Church, in Lewiston, NY.

Rosanna (Kelly) Cornell’s brother, James Kelly Jr., and his wife Adora “Dora” McGregor, left two children when they died in Lewiston, Sara Agnes Kelly and James O. Kelly, neither of whom married. They both died testate in Lewiston leaving their estates to each other, Sara on 17 Dec. 1931, and James on 26 Dec. 1936. When the will of James O. Kelly was probated on 28 Dec. 1938 his cousin Catherine R.

Her mother was born on 11 Oct. 1829 in England,[31] and they were married in Ontario. Nelson and Elizabeth A. Cornell were living next door to his aunt and uncle, James and Dora Kelly, in Lewiston, Niagara Co., NY, in the 1880 federal census, where he was a laborer.[32] She died on 11 Dec. 1891 in Lewiston, NY, of diabetes,[33] and he was living in Lewiston, Niagara Co., NY, in the 1892 state census, where he was a baggage master.[34] He remarried to 2.) Harriette Howard Minchin, daughter of William Augustus and Jane (Holmes) Minchin,[35] on 20 Dec. 1892 in Lewiston, NY.[36] She was born on 25 Nov. 1857,[37] probably in Askinfarney, Temple Ludigan Parish, Wexford Co., Ireland, her parents were also born in Ireland, and they had probably immigrated to Toronto, Canada, before coming to New York in 1888.[38] She was living in Toronto, Ontario, in the 1891 Canadian Census with her widowed mother, lodging with George and Eliza Neil.[39] Nelson Cornell was a laborer on the bridge spanning the Niagara River in 1870, and afterwards was a baggage handler for the New York Central Railroad for 25 years. They were living in Lewiston Village, Niagara Co., NY, in the 1900 federal census, where he was a day laborer,[40] the 1905 state census, where he was a baggage man,[41] the 1910 federal census,[42] the 1915 state census, where he was a paper hanger,[43] the 1920 federal census, where he was a laborer,[44] the 1925 state census,[45] and the 1930 federal census.[46] He died on 11 Dec. 1932 in Lewiston, NY, aged 83 years,[47] but no probate records were filed for his estate, and she died on 31 Aug. 1934 in Lewiston, NY aged 76 years,[48] and they were both buried in Lewiston Village Cemetery, next to the First Presbyterian Church in Lewiston Village, Niagara Co., NY. He had four children by Elizabeth Alice Paxton, and three more children by Harriette Howard Minchin. Harriette Howard Minchin also had a son, out-of-wedlock, in Ireland, by a Joseph Dobson:

1. Harriett¹⁰ “Hattie” Adora Cornell, born on 31 Jan. 1880 in Lewiston, NY,[49] was living with her great‑uncle, James Kelly (Jr.), and his family, in Lewiston, Niagara Co., NY, in the 1900 federal census,[50] and with her aunt and uncle, Edward and Margaret (Paxton) Dickinson, in Victoria, British Columbia, in the 1901 Canadian census,[51] moved to Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, where she married John⁴ Alfred Montrose Hanson Maltby, son of John³ Robert and Annie Maria (Hanson) Maltby, on 18 Oct. 1912 in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada.[52] He was born on 24 June 1883 in Brandon, Manitoba, and a grandson of John² and Eliza Ann (Meagher) Maltby, of New Brunswick, and then Seattle Washington, and had followed his father up to Dawson City, Yukon Territory, in 1900, where he was employed in various accounting positions, and happened to be in San Francisco on business when the 1906 earthquake struck.[53] He was first appointed as a clerk and accountant in the Office of Territorial Treasurer for the Yukon Territory on 1 June 1912, by George Black, of the Conservative Party,[54] who was later to go on to become a member of the Canadian Parliament. On 13 Aug. 1913 his position was expanded to include administering oaths, and taking and receiving affidavits, declarations and affirmations.[55] He was appointed as Assistant Territorial Treasurer by George Black on 5 Dec. 1914, and two days later as Acting Territorial Treasurer and Acting Territorial Secretary, with the added responsibility of issuing marriage licenses.[56] On 16 Sept. 1916 George Black appointed him Territorial Treasurer.[57] As the Yukon Territory shrank in population during the period, the number of government positions also shrank, and consequently he was required to take on more responsibilities as time went on. On 1 Feb. 1919 Gold Commissioner George McKenzie expanded his duties to include Yukon Territorial Game Guardian,[58] which was further expanded on 10 May 1920 to include the issuance of Game Dealer’s Licenses, Game Hunter’s Licenses, Fur Trader’s Licenses, and Guides and Camp Helper’s Licenses.[59] Harriet Adora (Cornell) Maltby died in an automobile accident on 25 May 1919 near Dawson City. The car she and the family were riding in plunged over a cliff and landed upside‑down in Hunker Creek. Gold Commissioner George P. McKenzie was driving the car, and the road had been made slippery from the rain. While the others were thrown from the car, sustaining only mild injuries, with the exception of her young son, Chart Maltby, who suffered a skull fracture, she became trapped beneath it in the river, and despite valiant efforts to move the car from her, she consequently drowned.[60] The funeral was at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, and she was buried in Hillside Cemetery, above Dawson City.[61] John Alfred Montrose Hanson Maltby remarried to 2.) Dorothy May (Thompson) Foster, of Seattle, WA, daughter of John Hardin and Annies/Anice Helen (Cole) Thompson,[62] on 2 Dec. 1920 at the home of Mr. & Mrs. P. G. Albin, in Seattle.[63] Dorothy was born on 4 Mar. 1885 in Washington Co., KS,[64] and had been previously married.[65] She may have been the Dot Thompson, who was born in Mar. 1885 in Kansas, living with her aunt and uncle, Ed and Malissa Edmunds, in Sherman, Blencoe, Monona Co., IA, in the 1900 federal census.[66] He was granted a leave of absence from his duties as Secretary-Treasurer, beginning Oct. 27, 1920, and had supposedly gone to Seattle to see a dentist.[67] There he met Dorothy, married her, and brought her back to Dawson City on 27 Mar. 1921. His official filing with the Yukon Territory regarding his leave of absence included a stop in Whitehorse, YT, where he examined the books there in the Assayer’s office, the big game licenses, the mining licenses, and the fur export licenses.[68] The children of Harriet and “Monty” Maltby did not remember their stepmother fondly. She was bossy, overbearing, and relatively unloving in comparison with their mother. Rarely was she smiling in the family pictures taken with the children, in contrast to Harriet, who always seemed to be enjoying the children. On 12 Apr. 1926 John Alfred Montrose Hanson Maltby resigned his many positions with the Yukon government, effective 30 June 1926,[69] and moved the family to Santa Monica, California, from Vancouver, B.C., aboard the Princess Kathleen.[70] At his resignation he had expected a retirement allowance from the Yukon Government, which was probably never approved, based on his poor financial condition after arriving in California, and employment opportunities in California never suited his tastes.[71] They were living in Santa Monica, Los Angeles Co., CA, in the 1930 federal census, where he was a salesman of non-metals and minerals,[72] and in Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA, in the 1940 federal census, where he was a free-lance accountant.[73] Dorothy May (Thompson) (Foster) Maltby died on 4 Aug. 1947 in Los Angeles, of cancer,[74] and J.A.M.H. Maltby remarried again, to 3.) Nina Leione (Loveless) (Rountree) Pegg, daughter of Arthur H. and Mary (Peterson) (Lone) Loveless,[75] and former wife of Jesse E. Rountree and Vester House Pegg, of Hollywood, CA, on 16 Oct. 1948 in Las Vegas, Clark Co., NV.[76] She was born on 22 June 1896 in Plymouth, Juneau Co., WI,[77] she was living with her parents in Plymouth, Juneau Co., WI, in the 1900 federal census,[78] and with her mother in Lake Geneva, Walworth Co., WI, in the 1910 federal census,[79] and had married first to Jesse E. Rountree on 28 Dec. 1917 in Los Angeles,[80] and secondly to actor Sylvester “Vester” House Pegg on 9 Aug. 1924 in Santa Ana, Orange Co., CA.[81] They were living in Los Angeles, CA, in the 1950 federal census, where he was a blue print clerk.[82] John Alfred Montrose Hanson Maltby died on 27 Feb. 1954 in Los Angeles, CA, of a cerebral hemorrhage, while at home in Los Angeles, asleep in a chair,[83] and he was buried in Inglewood Park Cemetery, Los Angeles. Nina L. (Loveless) (Rountree) (Pegg) Maltby died on 1 May 1970, aged 73 years,[84] but her burial location is unknown. Harriett Adora (Cornell) Maltby had four children:
