Letter sent in care of Miss C. E. Boardman. Miss Cornelia Elizabeth Boardman (1808–1880) was the daughter of Elijah Boardman (1760–1823), a wealthy merchant, land owner, and U.S. Senator for Connecticut. Her mother was Mary Anna Whiting (1767–1848).
Despite receiving several marriage proposals, Cornelia chose to remain single to care for her mother. After her mother passed away in 1848, Cornelia inherited the family home and lands in New Milford, which she managed independently.
Miss Cornelia Elizabeth Schroeder (1831–1914), later Cornelia E. S. Wright, was the niece and namesake of the Cornelia Elizabeth Boardman. She was the daughter of Caroline Maria Boardman (Cornelia Boardman's sister) and Rev. Dr. John Frederick Schroeder, a prominent Episcopal clergyman.
She was born in New York City on October 23, 1831. She spent significant portions of her life split between New York and the Boardman family network in New Milford, Connecticut.
She married George William Wright in New Milford. After her marriage, she is frequently archived under her married name, Cornelia E. Schroeder Wright.
When her unmarried aunt, Miss Cornelia E. Boardman, passed away in 1880, the ancestral Boardman family home in New Milford was passed down through Caroline's children—directly involving Cornelia Schroeder and her siblings—keeping the estate in the family well into the 20th century.
