Stone cleaned and repaired in 2021. Thomas Winslow Cornell acquired his name from the last known whaling ship to be built at the Head of Westport. As a teenager, his son, Thomas Winslow Cornell, worked as a store clerk. In 1863, he married Georgianna Gifford of Westport, born in Dartmouth to Thomas and Matilda Gifford. During the war years, Thomas was an armorer, making weapons or supplying and repairing weapons for the Union Army. The couple had a daughter on July 1, 1865 which they named Hope, in honor of Thomas' late mother. Thomas Winslow Cornell was living in Springfield, Massachusetts and working as a grocer. He developed tuberculosis and pneumonia, and died there on May 2, 1871 at age 34. His body was brought back to Westport for burial in Linden Grove near the graves of his mother and step-mother.
