      The baptismal records of Cornelia & Daniel were the only baptisms of the 6 children found in the records & one of these, Cornelia, had been in the Dutch Church of Brooklyn & the other, Daniel in, New York. As the family at this time lived on Staten Island, it was necessary in order to baptize these children to make in addition to several miles travel over land, about a six-mile journey over water. Because these two children were baptized in churches other than on Staten Island, and because the Dutch Church on Staten Island had been destroyed & their records lost, This assumption seems verified by Clute, P.256, in his Annals of Staten Island, by the following; " In 1714, Gov. Hunter executed a grant to the reformed Protestant Dutch Church, to build a new church on the North Shore. Probably on the site of the one, as was said above, existed thirty-four yrs. before."
      Not withstanding the fact that baptismal records of only two of the six children of Capt. Cornelius Corssen & Marretje Vandergrift were found in the records, it has been possible by the record of deeds, by which Catherine, Christian, Cornelia And Benjamin conveyed their one-sixth interest in the estate of their deceased father to their brother, Jacob, and the record of a census of Staten Is., taken about 1706, to definitely fix the number and names of Capt. Cornelius Corssens surviving children & to determine the year of birth.
      Cornelius Corsen & his family removed to Staten Is. about 1678. Here Capt. Cornelius raised his family, destined to become one of the most influential on the Island & one of the largest land owners in the County.
