Bio: Rebecca Cornell was the daughter of Thomas Cornell and Rebecca Briggs. She came with her family to America in 1636 settling in Jamaica, New Netherland. In December 1647, Rebecca married Capt. George Woolsey. The had eight children: Sarah, George, Thomas, Rebecca, John, Mary, William, Marritje (Mary).

At the age of 43, tragedy struck her family when her brother Thomas was hanged for the murder of her mother. The story was printed in a booklet in 1930 by the Old Stone Bank of Providence, Rhode Island.

In 1699, the 'old stone Church' was erected as a place of worship by the Presbyterians. In 1702 Grace church was established and the Reverend Patrick Gordon, a Chaplain in the Royal Navy, was appointed Rector of Queens by the Bishop of London. A new building was constructed and consecrated in 1822 through the generosity of the Honorable Rufus King, the first Ambassador to England. It was destroyed by fire 30 years later, as was the second building in 1861. By September 1862, a new church was built for worship by the Jamaica community. This Grace church has existed for over 316 years from its founding in 1699. Today, the church is no longer Presbyterian but Episcopal. It is the second oldest Episcopal Church in the State of New York, Trinity Church in Manhattan being the first. (http://historicgrace.org/church-history/)
