3rd wife: Sarah Bostick Cornelius - Child: William Bostick Cornelius b: 1847 d: 1926. She died Dec 1888. Funeral 17 Dec 1888
Sarah Bostick and Council Brewton Ingram lived in Jefferson County, Georgia before moving to Coffee County, Tennessee. After her marriage to Council, she accepted Christ and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church and remained a faithful and devoted Christian throughout her life.
Council died a young man leaving her with a family. She and her children went to live with her father, John G. Bostick. A runaway slave from Blount County, Alabama was instrumental in changing Sarah's name to Cornelius and bringing her to Alabama. William (Billy) Cornelius went to Tennessee in pursuit of a slave that had been apprehended at Manchester, Tennessee. He stopped at an inn that was operated by John G. Bostick and met Sarah, the innkeeper's daughter. She must have had a strong faith in God and trust in Mr. Cornelius. She forsook her father's home and married William Cornelius in Franklin County, Tennessee on January 13, 1846. She and her five children, six thru sixteen, came with William to Blount County, Alabama by covered wagon and settled in Murphree's Valley in the area that today is Oneonta. He was appointed guardian of the children in June 1846. The 1850 census lists the children as children of William Cornelius. Sarah must have been a remarkable lady who along with others of her day endured hardships and suffered much sadness. Her three older sons served in the cause of the Confederacy. Her son, Rufus, lost his life during the war and sons-in-law Miles Major and Stephen Murphree died later as a result of the war.
Her husband, William, died in 1864. Two of her children moved to Texas. Sarah and Council's children were well known in their day and married into respectable and honorable families. William Cornelius and Sarah had one child, William Bostick Cornelius (1847-1926). Sarah Ingram Cornelius died at the home of her son, Robert, at Chepultepec. The Reverend Wm. Gabriel Hanby Crump preached her funeral at Chepultepec on December 17, 1888. She was buried in Shiloh Cemetery near Allgood.

While it is not known for certain, William Cornelius, Jr. may be buried in the William Cornelius Cemetery which is on private land. Researchers note this cemetery has broken stones and is grown over in vegetation. Possibly, William's second wife Bethany Robbins Cornelius is buried there.
