Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cornelius Roosevelt
Ok, ''Theodore Roosevelt, Patriot and Statesman'' confirms what said of the Chemical Bank, saying Cornelius Roosevelt was one of the the founders of it". He's mentioned quite extensively in the ''National Cyclopaedia of American Biography'', where he is called "one of the five richest men of New York". He appears to have been a successful glass merchant, and is said to have been "deeply interested in charitable enterprises and gave largely to their support", from ''The Life of Theodore Roosevelt'', written by William Draper Lewis. Cornelius has also quite a bio. in ''The Merchants' National Bank of the City of New York''. And with not mach effort, from what I've seen, other sources can be added, but these already seem to me that he was notable enough to pass
