with Colonel Herkimer's unit at the battle of Oriskanv of the Revolutionary War on 6 August 1777.6 "We have a
family tradition that Cornelia was the homeliest girl in the Dutch Colony, but there was no girl there with a sharper, keener wit than hers."
from...Ranney, Lucretia Lyman, "My Children's American Ancestry", 1959, p4.
Cornelia married Joseph Robison on 1 January 1794 at Fort Plains, Montgomery, New York, just 6 weeks short of her 16th birthday. Joseph was a cooper by trade. His parents were James Robison and Margaret Adams.
