Thoomas dropped the "w" from the spelling of his name; thomas came to America 1633 with wife and most of the nine children. Bought property in Boston on Washington Street . Moved to Portsmouth, RI in 1640. To New Amsterdam in 1642 with Roger Williams and John Throckmorton. "The Indians seet upon the English who settled under Dutch rule and killed sixteen of Mr. Throckmorton`s and Mr. Cornell;s families, burned cattle and barns" says Governor Winthrop. Thomas Cornell returned to Portsmouth, secured a grant of land there in 1644 of 10o0 acres, next to land of Edward Hutchinson, son of Anne Hutchinson. this is the Original homestead. This land on which house and burial plot are situated has never been out of the family. A house in colonial style was built in 1894 by the Rev. John Cornell (writer of Cornell Genealogy) on the site of the one destroyed by fire i 1889 and somewhat on the old plan. In 1646, Thomas Cornell returned to the Dutch Colony, not to restore what had been destroyed of his property, but to acquire the third private grant in Westchester Co. It is still known as Cornell`s Neck. It was within the limits of greater New York. Some nine years later, he was driven from his property in New Netherlands by Indians and returned to his homestead in Portsmouth where he lived, died, and was buried.

On 06 Sep 1638 he was licensed to keep an Inn.
Was admitted as a freeman in 1740, and received a grant for 100 acres within the settlement of Portsmouth
