The entry for Cornelius in the Demarest book only lists Polly Waddle & their children
- no parents or dates. It says Cornelius & Polly were members of the Old Cane Meeting
in Mercer Co KY and later he joined the Presbyterian Church. Most of the early Demarees
were members of the Dutch Reform Church but the book does say anything about it. The World
Book says the Dutch Reform Church was organized in new Amsterdam by Dutch colonists in
1628 and it's doctrines have their origins in the teachings of John Calvin. It's
organization sounds a lot like the modern Presbyterian Church.
