General Notes: Husband - Cornelius Corssen

---

Among the Huguenots departing from France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes were the passengers of two vessels which in 1685 sailed for Charleston, South Carolina, but one of these made a landing at Staten Island, New York. One of its passengers was Cornelius Corssen.
He came to Staten Island, now the borough of Richmond, New York City, as stated already, in 1685. In company with others, he received grants of lands on Staten Island. His descendants were to be found in the borough of Richmond, and elsewhere in New York state, and in northern New Jersey.
His will was dated December 9, 1692, and probated December 7, 1693.

Cornelius Corssen, of Richmond, Staten Island, who on December 19, 1689, was commissioned justice and also captain, may have been the immigrant.

Besides his son Benjamin, he may have had sons: Jacob, Christian, Cornelius and Daniel; perhaps others.
