Cornelius made his will 26 May 1849, with probate granted in February 1853 to his brother John and sister Maria as his executors.

Cornelius does not appear to have married and he left his estate to be divided equally between his brother and sister. In the event of John's death his share was to go to his son Richard, if Maria died then her share was to go to their brother Charles.
