Notes:

In 1850 Federal Census, Rachel was living in Chatham twp, Medina, OH possibly with daughter, Lydia Annable Clark.

Notes:

It is a possibility that this Cornelius, son of Isaac and Lydia, is the one who lived in Howard, Steuben County, NY instead of Cornelius, son of Cornelius, born in CT. Because the Cornelius in Howard had children by the names of Caleb and Lydia,(uncle and mother's names) leads me to believe this is this correct person who lived in Howard, NY. Need to be checked further.

He was taken prisoner in the War of 1812. (Home Folks Book of Darius Myer's Family)

In the 1830 census, Cornelius was living in Cameron, Steuben county next door to Charles Brown, the son of Eunice M.Brown, Cornelius's sister. Although it doesn't show that Eunice is with her family, the rest of the family fits in the profile. Eunice may have been off taking care of her elderly widowed father.
