Cornelius was born the 7th of 9 children to Benjamin and Mary Anna (Ellett) Coghill. Records indicate he was 1 yr, 8 mo. old at death, so his birth would have been in April or May of 1845.
Cornelius died the same day as his infant sister, Cornelia. Indeed, death hit this family hard; of the nine children, only three are known to have lived to adulthood and one of those, Mollie, died at the age of 20.
