Son of Elias Cornelise and Maria Jan Baptiste(Vaneps)Post.
This veteran was a zealous Free Mason, aiding in establishing early lodges in Oneida Co., while residing there. In an address on the order in that county Mr. Res Williams gave a sketch of his life. He was born Dec. 28, 1748, and married Margaretji Bellinger, Jan. 7, '76. They had eleven children.
The name occurs in several N. Y. companies, and he was a staff officer much of the time, being at Burgoyne's surrender, in Sullivan's expedition, and also at Monmouth and Yorktown.
In 1790 he began trading with the Six Nations, and afterward established a line of packet and freight boats between Albany and Utica. He was the first postmaster in the latter place, and long a merchant there. A disastrous fire in 1806 destroyed his wealth, and he came to Manlius, settling about a mile east of Jamesville, where he died.
