Joseph Cornel (only one L) whose rightly spelled surname was "Cornelise", a Dutch surname. In it's original French spelling it is "Corneli" with the accent on the letter "E." However some time after the English took over control of New York it was corrupted to the English "Cornell" which has confused the research for the original ancestors. This family was originally French Huguenot. (See the book entitled; "Register Of Huguenot Ancestors" compiled by Georgia Nellie Chandler Cobb copyrighted By The National Huguenot Society 1975)
