• Notes

  Cornelius Schermerhorn was a sea captain and was engaged in th e general shipping business with his brothers, Peter and Abraham . A newspaper item of Apr. 1, 1786, reads as follows: "For Savan nah, the brigantine, Rock-a-hock, Cornelius Schermerhorn, master . For freight apply to Peter Schermerhorn, No. 73 Water St., opp osite the Crane Wharf." Cornelius Schermerhorn lived at 39 Beekm an St., New York City, from 1794 until 1814. He was a ship-maste r until about 1812, and then it appears he settled down to the o ccupation of a merchant, with office at 71 South St. [2]
