Cornelius Austin must have been an imposing pioneer figure--he probably hunted and fished with the best of them. He married Clarisa Bartlett on September 6, 1812, during his service in the War of 1812. They were married in Lyons, New York. He served from May 9, 1812, to May 16, 1813 in Captain Elias Hull's Company, New York Militia. He and Clarisa relocated to Indiana and then to the Oakland County area (specifically Commerce, Michigan), in 1829. Approximately one year later, he and Clarisa settled just north of Walled Lake, where they remained until their deaths.
Cornelius was portrayed in the book, H.O. Severance, "The Story of a Village Community," G.E. Stechert & Co., 1931, as the third pioneer settler living in fairly primitive conditions in Walled Lake, Oakland County, Michigan. My brother located this book and we were delighted to find Cornelius' photo in it. Cornelius is also mentioned in other histories of Oakland County.
Cornelius and Clarisa had 14 children, each of whom will be added to Findagrave as adequate information is compiled on them.
