From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cornelius
     a centurion whose history is narrated in Acts 10. He was a
     "devout man," and like the centurion of Capernaum, believed in
     the God of Israel. His residence at Caesrea probably brought him
     into contact with Jews who communicated to him their
     expectations regarding the Messiah; and thus he was prepared to


     welcome the message Peter brought him. He became the first fruit
     of the Gentile world to Christ. He and his family were baptized
     and admitted into the Christian church (Acts 10:1, 44-48). (See {CENTURION}.)
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
