     Cornelius Tuers was born circa 1790 at New Jersey. He was baptized at New Jersey Witn. Johannis Van Houten, Aletie Sickels. He married Ellen (?) Cornelius Tuers died before 1850 at New Jersey.

     John first appears in records in the 1850 Census Newark, NJ, in the household of Ellen Tuers. Age is approximate, birth dates vary from 1829-1832. Birthplace given as NY and NJ in different Census.
We know that Delia Hennion married a John J Tuers, and that both families were possibly from Morris County. Working with a direct descendant of Cornelius Tuers, we are quite certain that John Jasper Tuers is the correct name of Delia Hennion's husband, and we know that his father's name was Cornelius. However, we have not proven that we have correctly linked John Jasper to this Cornelius. Both names appear in both Newark Census and Newark directories. Ages and locations support a correlation, but we have found no primary records to support our postulation.
     Rather than omit these families, we have chosen to show this Parent/Child link in the hopes that we may find additional records that will help us prove a correct line, allowing a link with which we can provide subsequent family groups.
     Children's names are taken from 1860, 1870, and 1880 Census, Newark, Essex, NJ. Also living with the family in 1880 were: Mary Barries (age 22, servant), her child Carrie A (age 1), and Cellia Leimons (age 25, servant)
