Descendants of Cornelius Board

Generation No. 1

1. CORNELIUS1 BOARD was born Abt. 1695 in From England, and died 1745 in Bergen Co., N J. He married ELIZABETH Abt. 1726. She was born Abt. 1700 in From England, and died 1763 in Bergen Co., NJ.

Notes for CORNELIUS BOARD:

Cornelius Board (ca.1690-1745) was the Founder of the Board family in America. He came from Sussex, England in 1730 with his wife, Elizabeth, and two young sons, James and David; James was ten, born in 1720, and David was three, born in 1727. He settled first at Bloomfield, New Jersey, then later at Boardville, Pompton Township, Passaic County, New Jersey.

Cornelius was a Civil Engineer and Surveyor. He was sent by Alexander Lord Sterling to search the mountains of northern New York and New Jersey for copper ore, but he found not copper but iron in great abundance. He named the place Sterling after his patron, and he built the first forge there in the years, 1730 to 1736. The first iron made in that part of the country was made by Cornelius Board, and it is absolutely certain that this first Sterling Forge was the beginning of the works that later made iron for cannon balls used in the Revolution; also, for the great chain that stretched across the Hudson at West Point.

Cornelius and Elizabeth had twenty-three grandchildren.

There was a rumor that Cornelius Board changed his name from Planck to Board. It is my belief that he first left Holland for England and lived there for a few years (both David and James were born in Sussex) before coming to America. In my research, I found a family of VerPlancks in Holland with a small child named Cornelius who appeared to be the right age to have been this Cornelius Board.

The Dutch family I found was Cornelius Janse VerPlanck and Sara Van der Veer with a child named Cornelius Janse, born December 31, 1690, and Elizabeth Janse, born April 6, 1694. Both children were born in Zeeland Biervliet, Holland. This child, Cornelius, could have been the right age to have been the Cornelius Board who came to America in 1730.

Cornelius was sent here by Alexander Lord Sterling to search mountains of Northern New Jersey and southern New York for Copper ore. On Ramapo Creek he found a great abundance of iron instead of copper. First iron that was made in that part of the country was made by Cornelius. His iron was used for cannonballs used during the Revolutionary War.

Generation No. 3

7. PHILLIP3 BOARD (JAMES2, CORNELIUS1) was born 08/17/1760 in Bergen Co., NJ, and died 06/03/1850 in Mercer Co., KY. He married (1) ALINER "ELEANOR" THOMPSON 07/21/1788 in Mercer Co., KY, daughter of WILLIAM THOMPSON and ELIZABETH ----.

She was born 10/1779 in TN, and died 07/31/1827 in Mercer Co., KY.

Notes for PHILLIP BOARD:

Philip and Mary were married in Harrodsburg, Mercer County, Kentucky. It was his second marriage.

He fought in the Revolutionary War and was in actual service in the New Jesey Militia and Rangers about three years. His services were confined to the State of New Jersey and on the North River. He was not in any genuine Battle, but was in a skirmish with the refugees in the English neighborhood. He performed three tours under Capt. Joseph Board and other tours under several other officers. While in service, Philip was stationed at Millstone, Elizabethtown, Newark, Hackensack and the English neighborhood. During part of the time the British occupied New York, he was stationed at Newark and Bergens as a guard. When the Battle of Mammoth was fought, Philip was on the march to aid, but did not arrive in time.

There was a Philip Board who was Surety for the marriage of a Thomas M. Board on September 15, 1800 in Mercer County, Kentucky to Rebecca Hart. Since this could not have been his own son, it was undoubtedly one of his relatives. Philip's own son, Thomas, was born in 1803.

There was, also, a James Board married to Martha Adams, May 21, 1805, in Mercer County, Kentucky. Philip had a son, James, who was born in 1789, but this appears to be too young a person to have married in 1805.

Philip was shown on the 1795 Tax List of Mercer County, Kentucky. At that time, he had no blacks, ten horses, and fourteen cattle. Later, he had a number of slaves as his Inventory at death shows the names of six slaves he owed.

Philip was a farmer and a lender of money. He died at the age of ninety.

When a lad of sixteen, was drafted into militia service for 3 years. After the war he joined a wagon train, taking the newly opened route through VA to KY.

Notes for ALINER "ELEANOR" THOMPSON:

Aliner was an only child.

Notes for MARY "POLLY" CASTLEMAN:

It has not been fully determined who Mary's father was.

In the 1795 Tax List along with Philip Board, there are two Mitchells; Robert and James. Robert has no blacks, three horses, and twelve cattle. James had no blacks, four horses, and thirteen cattle.

James Mitchel, Robert Mitchel, and Edward Mitchel are listed along with Philip Board in the 1800 Mercer County, Kentucky census. In 1820 Mercer County census, only Philip and a Braxton Mitchell are listed.

There was a Jacob Mitchell listed on the Sale Bill of Philip Board, deceased, 1850. There was also a Jacob Mitchell on a Deed with Philip Board in 1814 in Mercer County.

There was a Land Grant of James P. Mitchell in 1834, Mercer County, Scrub Grass Branch.

Mary's last name was spelled Mitchler, Mitchlor, or Mitchell. She evidently died before Philip made his will because her name is not mentioned on his Will which he made in 1844.

x. SALLY "ILLIGITIMATE" BOARD, b. Bet. 12/16/1803 - 05/24/1804.

Notes for SALLY "ILLIGITIMATE" BOARD:

I went to Harrodsburg today and visited Frances Board Moseley among others.

I'm sure your mother wasn't surprised because it was in Jon's book. However,

the update is that Sally was born after Philip Board's 1st wife died and

before he married the 2nd wife. The black relatives told her that Philip Board

was a doctor. He raised Sally in the house with his other children and took

her on his rounds with him and taught her to be a midwife.
