Daniel Cornell born 1785 Belleville, Hastings, Ontario, Canada

I am seeking Ancestry/Descendant information on Daniel Cornell. According to his obituary he was born 1785 Belleville, Hastings, Ontario, Canada. He married Elizabeth Staley born 05 Sep 1805 in Ontario, Canada. [On her death certificate her father is listed as Jacob Staley.] I have no other ancestry on either of them. They migrated to Lapeer Co., MI about 1858.

The 1860 Census of Imlay Township, Lapeer Co., Michigan lists the family as follows:
Eneumerated on 28 June,1860
Daniel Cornell 75 M Farmer Born Canada West
Elizabeth Cornell 56 F Born Canada West
Jeremiah Cornell 28 M Canada West Born
Elias Cornell 25 M Born Canada West
Daniel Cornell 22 M Born Canada West
Freedom Cornell 16 F Born Canada West
Lovina Cornell 14 F Born Canada West
Mary A. Cornell 12 F Born Canada West

Daniel lived to be 103 years old. Several of his descendants also have lived to be over 100. This longevity seems quite common in the family.

I have been researching this family since 1975 and have not been able to find their ancestry. Perhaps someone would be willing to help in with this search.
Thank-You,

If this is the same Daniel Cornell. He had a brother Elias who was born in 1791. Elias is my GX5 grandfather. All I can say is this is the hardest family to research. Do you have info on Daniel's father?
Thanks, Peter

I am very interested in that obituary. I believe Daniel Cornell is the son of Albert & Wyntje Cornell. Albert is UEL. I think (still working on the proof) that I am descended from Daniel's sister Mary who married Ashbel Rohley of Fredricksburg, Lennox Co, Ont. Is there anyway I could either get a copy or a transcript of Daniel's obit?

I have a note under Daniel's great grandson, William Elias Cornell, that he was a direct descendant of Thomas Cornell of Long Island, NY. Thomas Cornell was born in Yarmouth, Essex England in 1616 and came to Long Island in the 1640's. I do not have the connection but this was a statement I copied from a newspaper article regarding William Elias.

I'm was wondering if you have any information on Albert and Wyntje Cornell. Was Albert married twice? and what is Wyntje maiden name?
