She died in 1794 in Fishkill, Dutchess County, New York. In the Genealogy of the Cornell Family, Elizabeth Cornell is "perhaps" married to Cornelius Wilzie (sic).
Mary H. Cornell, in a letter to Vivian Allen dated Nov.11, 1996, states: "there is a question as to whether this Elizabeth or her cousin Elizabeth, daughter of William's brother Thomas (born abt 1710, m. Mary Kissam June 22, 1733), was married to Cornelius Wiltzie. Most genealogists believe it was this Elizabeth, not her cousin".
In the Wiltize book,(this may be credited to the wrong book by DNR) page 45 she is shown as the daughter of Thomas Cornell and Annatje Wilse (sic). The Wiltse book page 14 shows Annatje Wilse b. 1699-1700) married to Tammus Cornel, whose name has at least 5 variations. Thier children include subject Elizabeth, but she would not be a cousin.
