In the first US Census of 1790 (actually dated 3 January 1791), Lydia's father, Nathaniel Jones, was enumerated as No. 164, living next door to his father (No. 165) in Frederickstown (Franklin aft. 1795), Dutchess Co. (Putnam Co. aft. 1812), New York. He appears as "head" and is listed as a male with one spouse and one son under the age of 16. From this, and knowing Lydia's birth date was very soon after the census date, we can surmise she was born in Frederickstown, Dutchess Co., NY - today Patterson, Putnam Co., New York.
Her parents soon moved to Berne, Albany Co., New York. By 20 January 1797 they reside within Grid 494, Lot 494 (189 9/10 acres), as the first settlers on this lot (on Sickle Hill Road) in a direct leasehold from Stephen Van Rensselaer III.
In the sixth stipulation of the will of her brother, Thaddeus Jones (1796-1867) dated January 31, 1867, ". . . . I give and bequeath to the living heirs of Lydia Cornell wife of Abraham Cornell one hundred dollars each." (1)
