  Research Notes:

Information about Cornelius from the back of his picture. This information subsequently given to the Du Bois Family Association with the mistaken note that the picture was "given to Harriet E. Mott, wife of Wesley Mott, by Aunt Libbie." I suspect that it should read "Harriet E. Mott, daughter of Wesley Mott."
