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, ... 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 ... 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...
...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.

His son, Nathan, in 1800, was the first white child born in Camden. Both father and son later represented Kent in parliament. On their homestead, Lot 14, they erected a grist mill...

Romantic Kent, Victor Lauriston, 1952, p. 108:
The Thames settlements had suffered from frequent requisitions, but had survived. Matthew Dolsen died on August 19, 1813, but his sons carried on. The Indians had burned McGregor's Mill; the British had burned Cornwall's; Arnold's still stood, its milldam carried away by a flood; Sherman's house and huge barn remained landmarks. On Fairfield the impact of war had fallen the hardest...

Romantic Kent, Victor Lauriston, 1952, p. 110:
In 1816, on the same historic spot [in Chatham], Joshua Cornwall, the pioneer of Camden, was returned. Cornwall was known to posterity as "the silent member," he having never made a speech in the entire four years he sat in the Assembly.
