I read your message regarding the Delaware Longfellows and Cornelius Longfellow.
Cornelius is my great grandfather and I, too, stay confused when it gets to the Johns!!
And at my age of 75 getting confused is not hard. Cornelius did have a brother named
Zebulon who died fairly early. One of Cornelius' sons was Orla B. Longfellow who is
my grandfather. We're pretty sure that James andNancy are Cornelius' parents and
we think that Jonathan (John, Jr.) is James' father. We know John, Jr. arrived in
Wayne County Indiana in 1813 and that he was from Delaware and his tombstone indicates he
died at the age of 103. We're having trouble getting the information on the Delaware
connection. We look forward to hearing from you either by e-mail or on this board.
