Notes

Cornelius Vincent (15 Apr 1737-16 Jul 1812) was born in present-day Bloomfield and married November 1756 Phebe Ward (8 Apr 1740-25 Feb 1809). He brought his family to Pennsylvania with his father. Like his father, Cornelius played a noteworthy role in the two great issues of the period. Reportedly, from his three-year imprisonment during the Revolution, he carried ankle and wrist scars from English shackles. Cornelius and Phebe may have returned to New Jersey after the war; they witnessed a Bloomfield, NJ deed in 1798 and sold land in Newark 1800 and in Acquackanonk 1802--Phebe signed both deeds with an X. They both returned to Milton and lived at their daughter, Mary Vincent Derickson's, farm, where they both died. They are buried at the Warrior Run church cemetery.
