Research Notes
While looking for sources for this person, I have found a LOT of trees on ancestry that attribute him as the William H Cornell that died in 1864 while guarding prisoners in Pennsylvania. I just find it hard to believe that a 90 year old person would be an active soldier. Need to find specific source confirming.
