Cornelius C. Schoonmaker

Cornelius Corneliusen Schoonmaker (June 1745–1796) was a United States Representative from New York. Born in Shawangunk (now Wallkill), Ulster County, New York), he received a limited schooling, became a surveyor and was engaged in agricultural pursuits. During the American Revolutionary War, he was a member of the committees of vigilance and safety. He was a member of the New York State Assembly from 1777 to 1790 and was a member of the state ratification convention in 1788. In April 1790, Schoonmaker was elected to the Second United States Congress, serving from March 4, 1791, to March 3, 1793. He was again a member of the State assembly in 1795.

Schoonmaker died in Shawangunk, New York in the spring of 1796, and was interred in Old Shawangunk Churchyard at Bruynswick, in Shawangunk.

Cornelius Schoonmaker's grandson, Marius Schoonmaker, was also a U.S. Representative from New York.
