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,
