 Catherine "Catherine ? Cornell" Cornell, daughter of Samuel Cornell and Deborah 3 "Deborah".Born 1693 at MA, died ± ABT. 1809 at MA Among the many Cornell deeds in the old records of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, in 1739, there is a deed from Samuel Cornell, Paul Cornell, George Thomas and his wife Grizel Cornell, Elizabeth cornell, Deborah Cornell and Zilpah Cornell, all in Crumwell's Precinct, in the County of Duchess, New York, to Joseph Wing, the homestead which belonged to their late father, Samuel Cornell. (John Cornell's Cornell Genealogy). While Rev. Cornell does not list a possible Catherine among Samuel's children, the supposition is that she must be one. Further, the name Catherine is quite uncommon though is does appear elsewhere in the Cornell line. Married 1717 at Dartmouth, Bristol, MA (60 or 61 years married) to:  Joseph Wing, son of Matthew Wing and Elizabeth "Elisabeth Mott" Mott.Born Feb 21, 1696/97 at Dartmouth, MA, died 1778 at Dartmouth, MA, approximately 82 years JOSEPH6 WING (MATTHEW5, STEPHEN4, REV. JOHN3, MATTHEW2, GODFRIEDUS1 WYNGE) was born February 20, 1696/97 in Dartmouth, Mass., and died 1778 in Massachusetts. He married CATHERINE CORNELL, daughter of SAMUEL CORNELL and DEBORAH unknown). Notes for JOSEPH WING: Joseph Wing...1697 to 1778 (Grandson of Stephen Wing, one of the founders of Sandwich, Mass., in 1637.) Joseph Wing, son of Matthew and Elizabeth (Mott-Ricketson) Wing was born in Dartmouth, probably in the old Ricketson house, Feb. 20, 1697. His birth is a matter of town record. In 1626, Joseph is mentioned in the town records as a "petty juryman," and as a "grand juryman of Superior court." Sept. 7, 1731. He was chosen moderator and also thingman, one of his duties being to use his rod of office during church services to keep church-goers awake and to punish offending hands. About the year 1717, when barely twenty years of age, Joseph married a wife named Catherine. Her surname has never been definitely ascertained, but from data at hand, we believe that she was a member of the Cornell family. Probably about the year 1724, Joseph, as the oldest son, came into possession of the house and lands whereon the father dwelt. This was up the hill across the road from the great lean-to house of his brother, Benjamin's, the site now being occupied by the Major Allen house. An aged descendant now living (in 1916) remembers the house which was torn down many years ago, because of its great stone chimney and its being the only house she ever saw with diamond-paned windows. Joseph Wing made his will in 1778 and styled himself "Joseph Wing, Gentleman." He gave to his wife Catherine and to his son Edward the farm and lot he bought of William Ricketson; mentions his sons Matthew and Daniel; his grandson John (if he should die without issue), and his daughter Ruth Howland, and her son Thomas; his grand-daughter Elizabeth Salsbury; grand-daughters Catherine Briggs and Dorcus Allen. In 1739 there is a deed from Samuel and Paul Cornell, George Thomas and wife Grizel (Cornell), and Elizabeth, Deborah and Zilpha Cornell, all of Crumwell Precinct, County of Duchess, New York, to Joseph Wing, of the homestead which belonged to their late father, Samuel Cornell. This appeared to have been a conveyance by the heirs of the homestead of Samuel Cornell in Dartmouth. Thomas Cornell was a brother of Samuel Cornell and his wife's name was Catherine Potter. Their daughter, Rebecca, married Edward Wing. Thus we find the name Catherine rather uncommon at that time, in the Cornell family, and Joseph Wing taking over from the heirs the homestead of Samuel Cornell. From these inferences, we draw the conclusion that the wife of Joseph Wing was Catherine Cornell, daughter of Samuel. From William Arthur Wing's, Some Wings of Old Dartmouth, was given the house and hill upon which he dwelled, across the road from the lean-to home of Matthew Wing, the site now occupied by the Major Allen house.

Matthew WingBorn Sep 27, 1721 at Dartmouth, Bristol, Massachusetts, died 1810 at Danbury, Rtland, VT, 88 or 89 years [.] MATTHEW7 WING (JOSEPH6, MATTHEW5, STEPHEN4, REV. JOHN3, MATTHEW2, GODFRIEDUS1 WYNGE) was born September 26, 1721 in Dartmouth, Mass., and died 1810 in Dartmouth, Mass.. He married ELIZABETH SISSON July 24, 1740 in Danby, Rutland Co., Vermont, daughter of JOHN SISSON and REBECCA LAWTON. Notes for MATTHEW WING: Matthew Wing...1721 to 1810 (Descendant if 4th generation from Stephen Wing, one of the founders of Sandwich, Mass., in 1637.) Matthew Wing, son of Joseph and Catherine (Cornell) Wing, was born in Dartmouth 9th month, 26, 1721. He is mentioned in the Dartmouth town records as "Nathan say Matthew" and the word "blind" is added. The town records also report that he was married to Elizabeth Sisson of Tiverton July 24, 1740. It seems that Matthew removed with his family to Batemantown, Duchess Co., N.Y., where he was living in 1773, and that he again moved in 1775, going to Danbury, Vermont. The history of Danbury says that "Joseph's Matthew came from Dartmouth in 1775 and that he died in 1810 at the age of 90 years and that he had Giles, Matthew, Ruth, Elizabeth and Mary. According to this history, he and his son Giles settled on a farm owned in 1869 by A. A. Mathewson in Danby. Matthew is mentioned in his father's will, made in 1778, and also in the U.S. Census of 1790, when he was reported in Danby with a family of one male over 16, two males under 16, and one female. 7.
