   Jesse E Cornelison Family Info
   olekukahiadded this on 20 Apr 2011In the book 'A Memorial and Biographical History of McLennan, Falls, Bell and Coryell Counties, Texas', Jesse and Mary's grandson, Jesse Cornelison, says his grandfather, 'was a native of NC, from which state he moved to Missouri, where he died at the age of ninety-eight years. His [Jesse E. Cornelison's] wife [Mary Roberts] lived to be 105 years old. He [Jesse E. Cornelison] was a veteran of the Revolutionary war.' [The censuses would not agree with grandson Jesse's statement on the ages at death for his grandparents, nor give much leeway for proving his grandfather, Jesse E. Cornelison, was an incredibly young Revolutionary War veteran - Maybe the grandson was speaking about Jesse E.'s father, but even that statement is another dead end]. Jesse and Mary came to Missouri circa 1849 [Jesse is seen purchasing land in Sec. 3, Barry Co., 1849. From Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry County; Barry County Courthouse; Cassville, MO. –RM] [1850 Barry Co. Census has House #545: Jesse Cornelison 70 (m) NC; Mary 62 (f) NC and only two children at home, Porter 19 (m) TN; Mary O. 17 (f) TN (this would have Jesse b. 1780 and Mary b. 1788) –RM] [Exact date of Jesse and Mary coming to MO is not known. Grandchildren of Jesse and Mary Cornelison from son’s John and Martin are born in 1836 MO. Like Jesse’s oldest son, Garrett, it is not known if these children came to MO before Jesse and Mary. –RM]. The Cornelison family came from North Carolina to Kentucky sometime between 1797 and 1809. They left Kentucky ca. 1822/23 to Tennessee and moved on to Missouri ca. 1849. The oldest son of Jesse, Garrett Cornelison, is seen in the 1830 Sangamon Co., IL census and then the 1840 Greene Co., MO census, coming to Missouri almost a decade before his father. Jesse and Mary brought children, 'well bred' stock and four slaves (two men and two women valued at a Missouri state government estimated average of $500 each in 1862- RM). Three miles northeast of Seligman, Barry Co, MO circa 1835, a man by the name of Bartholomew Wright had built a small log cabin on the land that would soon be adjoining the Cornelison's farm. The original Wright fireplace and chimney stood to at least 1969 [Fireplace was long gone when I got there in 2006. –RM]. The Cornelison land was cleared of timber by the family and slaves for farming and buildings. A house was built. The clear cut timber had no market value and was mostly burned. The slaves lived in a cave not far from the house and later had a house for themselves, but I am unaware as to the living conditions of the slaves or who lived with who [Present owner told me about the cave. The brush was to thick for any attempt at getting into the cave, snakes, etc., so I didn't... the snakes alone being enough for my decision.]. The slaves having a house is referenced in a letter written by Jane Ann (McCollum) Payne in 1969 d/o Claude McCollum s/o William Wallace McCollum. The McCollum family purchased the Cornelison property. [1860 Barry County Missouri Slave Schedule for Jesse Cornealison (Cornelison) – Census: Four female slaves; 42, 19, 13 (Mulatto) and 11 years old]. Jesse, Mary, two children, two slaves, an unknown man and wife and a Mr. Hale are buried on the property in a small family plot near the farmhouse that has been kept visible and respected by previous owners, including the present owner of the [Ruc-A-Bye] farm. Mr. Hale was shot and killed on the Cornelison property by an unknown assailant and Jesse had him buried in the plot. Upon the death of Jesse the land was separated between Mary and the children. On June 12, 1873 William Wallace and Mary "Mollie" Ann (Fawver) McCollum married and moved into the small home previously owned by Mr. Wright. By 1917 the McCollums own all the land once occupied by Wright and Cornelison plus other properties surrounding the old farms totaling 680 acres. Present owner's parents bought the property in 1969. Sometime circa 1980's new markers replaced the old grave stones of Jesse and Mary. [Jesse used the middle initial E. in his will, the only known time it has been seen. The middle initial E. name is unknown. –RM] [Jesse and Mary were married by John Pace – from Mr. Pace's records of eighteen marriages. –RM] [The Cornelison family is split in politics by Confederate and Union persuasions, as were many Missouri Ozark families during the Civil War. How this affected the family is unknown, but I'm sure it was not good. –RM]
