The Valley of the Lower Thames 1640 to 1850, Fred Coyne Hamil, University of Toronto Press, 19??. Appendix D, p. 347:
Cornwall, John - John Cornwall, a native of Danbury, Conneticut, stated in his petiton for land, that "in 1775, when the commotions run very high, found means with some others to consult Governor Tryon who advised our raising men for his Majesty's service, which we undertook to do until a treacherous person of the party named Christopher Glover gave information upon oath against me." Cornwall was arrested by the Americans in New York in May 1776, and imprisoned at Epopus for five months; his estate was immediately confiscated, and his wife and three sons were "cast out and plundered of everything even to the last of their wearing apparel, and left in great distress during the fall and winter." In the fall of 1776 Cornwall escaped from prison and went to Albany County, where he failed in several attempts to join General Burgoyne and General Clinton. He then "retired to the mountains" and remained there until May 1777, when he and a man named Peter Ball collected thirty-two men and marched through the "wilderness" until they were able to join Colonel Butler's Rangers on the Susquehanna River a month later. Cornwall remained with the Rangers during the next few months, but in February 1778 he came to Detroit with the winter express. His sons Wheeler, John Jr., and Joshua, did not come from Danbury to join their father until the spring of 1789, when there were prospects of getting land. Their mother and sister Mary probably came at the same time.
In 1786 John Cornwall, Sr., moved to the Clinton River near the present Mount Clemens, to farm lands which John Askin had bought from the Moravians. After a short time there he received a grant of Lot 97 in the New Settlement on Lake Erie, which he farmed until July 1789, when he sold it. Two years later he received a grant of Lot 13, on the Thames River in Camden Township; and his sons Joshua and Wheeler the next two lots above him. John Cornwall, Jr., received the lot behind his father, in the second concession. The elder Cornwall continued to live in the New Settlement, and represented Essex and Suffolk in the Provincial Assembly from 1797 to 1800. Wheeler carried on his trade as a carpenter in Detroit until 1796, and later at Amherstburg. In January 1811, he sold his Thames farm to Lemuel Sherman, who had worked the farm for a number of years. Joshua moved to the Thames and built a grist-mill on his property.
