122 PETER CORSON, listed as the second son of Jacob and Naomi Corson, married Martha Edwards on Feb. 10, 1757. Peter Corson died intestate before 1797, and his children were identified by several deeds (the first of which was dated in that year) that were made in the settlement of his estate. These deeds also show that Peter Corson was the owner of considerable land. In the first deed, dated Jan. 23, 1797, Cornelius Corson and his wife, Sarah Corson, and Enoch Young and his wife, Deborah (Corson) Young, son and daughter, heirs of Peter Corson, deceased, con¬ veyed 147 acres to Jonathan Corson, which tract it was stated consisted of two parts, one of which had been purchased by Peter Corson, deceased, from Jacob Spicer's executors and the other given to Peter Corson, by his father, and further strengthened by deeds given by Jacob Corson, Oct. 16, 1756, on which date Peter gave his brother 100 pounds for being allowed his choice of the bequeathed land and each gave quit claim deeds. The consideration in the deed from Cornelius to Jonathan was 200 pounds and this deed was recorded on Jan. 2, 1804. (Deed Book C, p. 306, Cape May Court House.) By a second deed, dated Aug. 9, 1803, Jonathan Corson and Lydia Corson, his wife, son and heir of Peter Corson, deceased, conveyed this same tract to Elias Corson for the sum of $950. This deed, recorded on the same day as the first one, Jan. 2, 1804, was also found at Cape May Court House in Deed Book C, p. 311. By another deed, dated Mar. 11, 1797, Elias Corson and Sarah, his wife, conveyed 13 acres of land to Cornelius Corson. Eleven acres of this tract had been purchased by Peter Corson, deceased, from Jeremiah VanGilder, and two acres had been purchased by Peter from John Corson, by deed, on Mar. 20, 1775. This latter deed was recorded Apr. 18, 1801. The residence of all the parties is given in these deeds as Upper Township, Cape May County. …

1224 ELIAS CORSON, the fourth child of Peter and Martha (Edwards) Corson, was born on Jan. 23, 1767. He was only ten years old when his eldest brother, Cornelius, went to war, and while too young to enlist, no doubt witnessed many interesting events of those times that tried men's souls. Elias married twice.
His first wife was Sarah Evans and the second was Abigail Steel¬ man. License for his marriage to Abigail was issued Oct. 11, 1810. (Gloucester Co. Records.) After the administration of his father's estate, Elias was in possession of 147 acres of land and marsh, part of which tract had been given to his father, Peter Corson, by the will of Peter's father, Jacob, and strengthened by deed from his brother, Jacob, Jr., Oct. 16, 1756, the remaining part having been purchased by Elias' father from Jacob Spicer's executors. The part of this 147-acre tract, given to Peter Corson, deceased, by will was part of the original 300 acres conveyed to John Corson, the first, by the West Jersey Society by deed of Apr. 23, 1695. On this part of the 147 acres, old Cellar Creek runs through, along which it is said that John and Peter spent their first winter in Cape May County in a cave and when the waters came up in the spring it was necessary to move on to higher ground. This 147-acre tract was referred to in the will of Elias, dated Sept. 2, 1831, and proved in 1832, as his "Seaside Planta- 1 tion" bequeathed to son Ezra, where he now lives. He devised to his son, Richard S.: "my homestead & farm & plantation on which I now live." By the will, Ezra and Richard S. were to make cash settlements to their sisters and brother, Elias, Jr. Ezra was sole executor. Elias Corson, Sr., died on Oct. 5, 1832, and is buried
in the M. E. Churchyard at Petersburg, N. J. Elias, Sr., by his first marriage with Sarah Evans had five children:
12241 Amy Corson, born 1790;
12242 Ezra Corson, born May 5,1792;
12243 Hannah Corson;
12244 Elias Corson, Jr.;
