  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	Lansdale             d. Bef 1700, England   (5 x Great Grandfather)  Sarah Smith           b. Abt 1725, Northampton Co., North Carolina           d. Aft 3 Jun 1790, Edgefield Co., South Carolina  (Age > 65 years)  (3 x Great Grandmother)
  Notes	In his life of his father, John Lansdale Jr. calls Cornelia John Lansdale Sr.'s "older sister," but says she was born in 1885--the date which is also on the gravestone--which would make her 3 years younger; she was the “older” of the two sisters. She graduated from Western Maryland College, and taught at the high school in Cumberland, Md, where she met her husband (see his biography).
