The last male descendant of the noteworthy Johann Cornies (1789-1848) was this Johann Cornies (no. 80 in Nachkommen von Martin Cornies version 20130523) who immigrated to Canada and settled in the Kitchener-Waterloo Region of Ontario. He had one adult son who was killed in Ukraine at the age of 21 prior to the family's immigration into Canada.
Thanks to Patrick Murphy, the photograph of the headstone at the grave of Johann Cornies in Waterloo is shown below.
