Information from Hermitage Museum
"Elijah and his first wife, Cornelia (Killie) Livingston Dayton, granddaughter of the cotton merchant Captain Samuel Dayton, had four children: William Dayton (Will); John (II); Mary Elizabeth (Bess), the first girl born to the Rosencrantz family at The Hermitage; and George. Elijah ran the mill through the Civil War. Like most of their Bergen County neighbors, the Rosencrantzes were "Peace Democrats" (Copperheads) who opposed President Abraham Lincoln and the war. Although the men were spared the dangers of the battlefield, they were deeply affected by the conflict, as cotton from the South became scarce and expensive.
Killie gave birth to George in 1865; however, she had contracted tuberculosis and died when he was only two years old. Elijah brought Charlotte Caroline (Lillie) Dennis from Richmond, Virginia, to Ho-Ho-Kus to take care of his household. In 1870, he and Lillie were married."[2]
