John W Day

.... His son, Cornelius (Day), remained a resident of his native State until reaching manhood, and was married to Miss Nancy Wetherholt, of New Jersey. She was the daughter of John Wetherholt, who was born in Germany, came with his parents to America when eleven years old, and afterward fought in the War of the Revolution, and in the interests of the Colonies. After the close of this struggle, he lived in New Jersey until about 1830, then removed to Ohio, locating at Galena, eleven miles from Columbus, and was there drowned in Elm Creek, when eighty-two years of age. He received a pension from the Government during the last years of his life.
