The Valley of the Lower Thames 1640 to 1850, Fred Coyne Hamil, University of Toronto Press, 19??. Appendix D, p. 348:
Cornwall, Francis - Francis Cornwall was a brother of John Cornwall, Sr., and came to Detroit in 1789 with his wife and family. He settled near the mouth of the Detroit River, on the Canadian side, but about 1796 moved to lot 10 in the Township of Howard. Here he died in 1804, much beloved by the Moravians for his piety and goodness. His sons were Elihu, Sherman and Nicholas. Nicholas died in 1824 leaving a son Ira.

Romantic Kent, Victor Lauriston, 1952, p. 63-65:
...As early as 1794, Isaac French had located on Lot 3, River Front, in Howard, but shortly after he moved to Chatham township, selling his Howard property to Frederick Arnold.
...The Arnold property was traversed by a small creek, emptying into the Thames. On the bank of this creek, the elder Arnold erected a small saw mill. To this, Christopher Arnold, some time prior to 1800, added a grist mil...
...A small community grew up about the mill. Indeed, J. G. Ribley had settled on Lots 1 and 2 before the Arnolds came, while Lot 4, to the east, was occupied by William Miller, later drowned while fishing in Lake St. Clair. Still trending east were William Howard, Lot 5, and William McCall, Lot 6, the latter shortly giving place to John Carpenter. John Gordon lived on Lot 8, Nicholas and Elihu Cornwall on Lot 9, and Jacob Quant, who had "borne the chain" for Patrick McNiff in his Thames surveys, occupied Lot 12. One McDonald, on Lot 13, represented, for the time being the easterly limit of settlement.
