- ==Caution: Multiple Cornelius Profiles==
[[Howard-171|Cornelius-171]], born 1643, son of Matthew Hall and Anne Howard is the destination profile. A merge has been proposed to merge [[Howard-9216|Cornelius-9216]], b. 1643 into Howard-171.
==Caution: Did Elizabeth Gorsuch marry Cornelius Howard?==
Cornelius' wife Elizabeth exists in several profiles; is Elizabeth Gorsuch one of them? it increasingly appears that she is not, and she is tentatively delinked as the wife of Cornelius.
===Reasons she might be the wife of Cornelius===
Becky Fox asserts that Elizabeth, wife of Cornelius Howard, was Elizabeth Gorsuch. <ref name="fox">Email from Becky Fox <beckfox @ aol.com> (28 Jun 2003) at http://dgmweb.net/FGS/H/HowardMathew-Anne_.html. Accessed My 13, 2015 </ref>
#In the 1663 will of Capt. John Sisson, husband of Elizabeth's sister Frances Gorsuch, Cornelius Howard is named executor of Sisson's will, is called "brother," and is asked to look after Sisson's wife and children. Howard is bequeathed an indentured servant, Richard Warfield; <ref name="newmanfox"> Newman, Anne Arundel Gentry, pages 261, cited by Becky Fox. </ref> In what way is Cornelius Howard John Sisson's brother? John Sisson was married to Frances Gorsuch.#In 1671 Cornelius Howard was named guardian to John Todd, son of Captain Thomas Todd. <ref name="newmanfox"/> Todd was married to Anne Gorsuch, sister to Frances. #The 1690 will of Lancelot Todd, son of Anne Gorsuch and Capt. Thomas Todd, names Cornelius Howard's wife Elizabeth as daughter Mary Todd's "Aunt Elizabeth Howard." <ref name="newmanfox"/>. Newman observes that this does not byitself "prove conclusively that she was of Todd patrimony, <ref name="newmanfox"/> but in conjunction with the other facts, it seems to clearly be part of a pattern.

===1652 Immigration to Virginia===
Elizabeth Gorsuch came with six other children of her family to Virginia in 1652 where they settled in Lancaster County. <ref name="vmhb"> Page 91 The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.

Assuming her birth in 1641, she would have been aged 11 when she immigrated to Virginia.
===1659 Immigration to Maryland===
In 1659 all but sister Katherine came to Maryland. <ref name="vmhb"/>
Assuming her birth in 1641, she would have been 18 when she immigrated to Maryland. Since she came with her family, it may be assumed that she was not yet married in 1659.
===1659 Move to Baltimore County, Maryland with Gorsuch Family===
1659 July 16. Thomas Powell was granted 700 acres, Howell Powell was granted 300 acres on north shore of Patapsco River in Baltimore County, MD. Grants in same vicinity the same date were made to other residents (or former residents) of Lancaster County, VA: Robert Gorsuch, Richard Gorsuch, William Dickinson, and others. <ref name="strong"> Robert T.

1661 May 13. Thomas Powell and Richard Gorsuch claimed headrights for transporting 12 persons to Maryland, including Howell Powell, Elizabeth Powell, Ann Powell, Thomas Powell, Ann Powell, Richard Gorsuch, Elizabeth Gorsuch, <b>Lovelace Gorsuch</b>. <ref name="strong"/>
The Powells and Gorsuch's moving to Maryland in 1661 are therefore:
*[[Powell-2191|Thomas Powell]] (1627-1669), age 34. Leader of the group. Married to Ann before 1657 when he was age 30.*[[Gorsuch-25|Richard Gorsuch]]. (1637-1694), age 24, son of Anne Lovelace Gorsuch (1611-1652). Richard, joined the Society of Friends, and were with the group of Quakers driven out of Lancaster County, Virginia by Gov. Berkeley in 1660. <ref name="VMHB24.1">J. H. P., [http://www.jstor.org/stable/4243492 "The Gorsuch and Lovelace Families"] ''The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography,'' Vol. 24, No. 1 (Jan., 1916), pp. 81-93, Virginia Historical Society, JSTOR.org accessed July 19, 2015</ref> Three years later, in 1665, married Elizabeth Rowe and had children.*[[Powell-5835|Howell Powell]] (1628-1704), age 33. Affiliated with Society of Friends. Was in Tred Avon Monthly Meeting, Baltimore County at his death.
*Elizabeth Powell (see below)*Ann Powell, wife of Thomas Powell. Married before 1657. Estimate her age as 27 in 1657, therefore born in 1630, either in Virginia or England*Ann Powell, eldest daughter of Thomas. If her parents were married in 1657 and she was born a year later in 1658, she would be aged 3 in 1661.
*Elizabeth Gorsuch (see below)*[[Gorsuch-168|Lovelace Gorsuch]] (1644-1702), age 17, son of Anne Lovelace Gorsuch (1611-1652). Lovelace joined the Society of Friends, and were with the group of Quakers driven out of Lancaster County, Virginia by Gov. Berkeley in 1660.<ref name="VMHB24.1"/> Married in 1696 at age 52 in Third Haven Quaker Meeting, Talbot Co, MD, had daughter Sarah.
Note: Elizabeth Powell and Elizabeth Gorsuch. Note that this list includes both an Elizabeth Powell and an Elisabeth Gorsuch at the same time. It is possible that Elizabeth Powell's maiden name was unknown and she was already married to Howell Powell and that Elizabeth Gorsuch was another person who did not marry Howell Powell -- or it is possible that Elizabeth Powell was a sister of the Powells and that Elizabeth Gorsuch was the future wife of Howell. [[Day-1904|Day-1904]] 23:51, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
[[Gorsuch-157|Elizabeth Gorsuch]] (1641-1680, age 20, son of Anne Lovelace Gorsuch (1611-1651). In the colonies women married young and often to older men; marriage to Howell Powell, age 33, would have been quite normal. On the other hand, if he married earlier, Elizabeth Powell shown on the list might be an older women, leaving Elizabeth Gorsuch in a position to marry Cornelius Howard upon her arrival in Maryland.
===1660 Marriage to Powell ===
Elizabeth was the wife of Howell Powell. <ref name="ra3634"> Douglas Richardson, [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1463561687/sr=8-1/qid=1397864689/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1397864689&seller=&sr=8-1 ''Royal Ancestry.''] (2013) Douglas Richardson, [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1463561687/sr=8-1/qid=1397864689/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1397864689&seller=&sr=8-1 ''Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial and Medieval Families.''] 5 vols., ed. Kimball G. Everingham, (Salt Lake City, Utah: the author, 2013), volume III, page 634, Anne Lovelace.</ref>
Though no date has been provided for this marriage, one may estimate that her marriage took place soon after her arrival in Maryland, say 1660, when she was 19.
===1662 Named in grandmother's will as Elizabeth Powell===
Elizabeth Powell was named in the July 7, 1662 will of his grandmother [[Hall-347|Alice (Hall) Gorsuch]], of Weston, Co. Hertford, spinster, widow of Daniel Gorsuch, proved February 3, 1662-3 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, to receive a bequest of £10. <ref name="jhp"> The Gorsuch and Lovelace Families, by J.
