Hello, My maiden name is Cornett. My fore bearers came from England around 1740 and settled in henrico, Cty Va and from there went to perry cty, Ky. I was just wondering if there was a connection. To the best of my knowledge, it goes like this;
William Cornett and Rhoda Gilliam
John Cornett and Rachael Smith
John Cornett II and Nancy Combs
John Cornett III and Winnie Grigsby
George Washington Cornett and Etta Hatcher
Kenneth John Cornett and Dorothy Presson
Dale Tradford Cornett and Jacquelyn Jeffers  (My parents)

I would love to hear from you, especially if there is a connection.

I am seeking to find the parents names of my grandfather Elijah T. Cornett who was married to Polly Hall. Any information you might have on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone send me any information on Curtis C. Cornett? He was raised in Va. and married my grandmother Laura V. Carrico.  I know my grandmother was related to the Nuckolls and Delps family but I have nothing about my grandfather. Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for information on the parents of Palice BOWLING and his
wife Mary CORNETT.  My records show them in 1820's in Clay County.
Thanks for your help!

I am seeking info on 1) Nathaniel CORNETT s/o John CORNETT/Elizabeth Bacon MOSBY.  2)Robin Robert CORNETT s/o Nathaniel/Mildred "Millie" HENSLEY.  He supposedly married Charlotte CALLAHAN and had a daughter Mary "Polly" CORNETT who married Frederick LINCKS.  I am trying to tie up loose ends on the roots.  I do not know if Robin Robert had siblings and I have very few datesconfirmed.  Can you help?

Book title "Fallen Leaves" includes a fairly comprehensive record of the Cornett family.  The book was written by Lucy Gay and Shirley Evans in 1992-3.  Lucy's phone number is 606 464 3850.  There are over 20 pages about the Cornettss.  I would recommend it.
 

I have been researching for a Samuel Cornett who had a daughter, Malinda.  Malinda had a son, Jonathan, by John Lewis of Harlan County, KY.  Malinda and John never married.  She later married Josh McDaniel. The census information provided was the first real proof I had. However, I don't know who Malinda's mother was.  I suspect that this Samuel was the son of Jonathan Cornett (one of the original  Cornett brothers from England).

I'd like to hear from the person who put the information together. There are so many Samuels and Jonathans that I've gotten confused.

Any help would be appreciated.

William Cornett Wed, 22 Oct 1997

My name is William Cornett, and I am looking for the Kentucky origins of my grandfather, one Joseph Cornett, who travelled from the Kentucky area to Texas around 1910. He would have been born circa 1890, and he died in the 1920's in Waco. I have all the information on my uncles (my father's brothers), but I have been able to find next to nothing on his origins. Any hints or suggestions on where to look?

Would like to talk to Cornett researchers of Russell, Lee, and Grayson Co., VA, prior to 1800. My interest is specifically in the Cornetts who associated with various Hatfields. I'm trying to prove several "hidden" marriages.

A Mary Hatfield married a John Cornett in 1794 in Grayson Co., VA, and later lived in Anson Co., NC.

It appears that a daughter to John and Rebecca Hatfield of Russell (and soon Lee Co.), VA, married a Cornett, living next in Campbell Co., TN, and later in Marion Co., TN. Deeds of John Hatfield were witnessed by both a William and a David Cornett.

I want to discover a closer tie-in and be able to provide Hatfield ancestry.

John Cornett William Cornett (1761 - 1836)
Joseph Enoch Cornett (1814 - 1891)
William M. Cornett (? - 1856)

Ernest Walter Cornett
James Watson Cornett

the 2nd Frankie Smith is also married to William Smith.

Seek parents of David CORNETT b. ca 1788 probably Montgomery Co. VA, married Polly (?Mary) COOPER 18 Jan 1810 Grayson Co. VA, died 27 Aug 1866 Falls County, TX

I descend from Nathaniel W. Cornett and Lydia Caudill on both my maternal (Joseph E. Cornett m. Susanna Caudill) and paternal side (Benton Cornett m. Polly Ann Davidson).

In my research, I have obtained copies of nearly every descendent of Nathaniel and Lydia Cornett from 1850 through 1920.

My grandmother is Delora Cornett, daughter of Granville and Virginia Harbour. Granville is the son of Jonathan Cornett and Elizabeth Smith. Jonathan is the son of John Lewis and Malinda Cornett. I don't think they were married. Malinda is the daughter of Samuel Cornett and Polly Davidson. Samuel is the son of John Cornett who was born in England in 1726.

These are the Cornetts from England who settled in Perry County, Kentucky.

Do I have any cousins out there? I have birth, death and marriage dates if anyone needs them.

Does anyone have anything on:

Edwin (or Erwin) Cornett. Probably born in Virginia. Family rumor has it that Edwin married a Cherokee woman and left Virginia with his wife.

Son was John Allen Cornett, born Dec 1846, Chattanooga, TN, who moved to Stone County, AK. Union soldier at Ft. Louisburg.

John died and Polly remarried a Frank Leonard. The family stayed in Breathitt Co until after 1900 then moved to Perry Co. Any leads are appreciated.

Her Father was Jessie Adams and mother was Dora Blevins. Does anyone have information on who Jesse or Dora's parents were?

Debbie Birch Thu, 28 Aug 1997

I copied a Lee County KY marriage license for Flora Bell Cornett and Marion Ingram. They were married at Mary Cornett's on December 23, 1897. Marion Ingram was 25 yrs old, and his 1st marriage. Flora Bell Cornett was 21 yrs old, and her 2nd marriage. The witnesses were James Cornett and Sarah Cornett.

By chance do you have any information about this marriage, or the previous one for Flora? I believe that she is the mother of my great-uncle, George Estes' (s/o James Estes and Susan Alice McKinney) first wife Emma Ingram. Any information would be helpful.

I am searching for descendants of George McIntyre Cornett b in Grayson Co. VA and moved to Laurel Co. KY. From there to Prinville OR. Operated a stage Coach line to SF. CA. Married a Miss Toney. Please help.

I am trying to "get my feet wet" and fumbling as only a newbie can. I am interested in the Combs and Cornett lines and where they are linked.

I am a Combs of Hazard, Perry County, and have Cornett cousins. (at least I think they are cousins.) I do not know where the link is, however. I was seven when my family (William B. Combs b. 1909 d. 1996) moved to Maryland so I do not remember too much about Hazard. My dad had four siblings of whom only one, a sister Kate, is still living.

I would appreciate any information on these two families and/or the Eversole line which you might be willing to give.

I now live in Phoenix Arizona. There seem to be a lot of Combs' here, also.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide.

My file on Rachel Cornett Combs dtr of Nancy Cornett & Samuel Combs and married to Civil War Levi Pennington is thoroughly corrupted. I need help. She is the sister of Mary Combs who married Elijah Roberts Begley.

Was there MORE THAN ONE Levi Penningtons?

FIRST: born 1810 NC married to a Nancy Cornett age 38 (per 1850 Census) Ch: Rebecca 14, Timmothy 12, William 8, Anny 7, Felix 4, and James 2 (RETRIEVED FROM COMBS WEBSITE)

SECOND BORN: 30 AUG 1821 Perry Co., KY

THIRD BORN: 15 AUG 1802?

WHEN WAS THE CIVIL WAR LEVI BORN?

Did Levi have two wives, one Nancy Cornett and the second Rachel Cornett Combs. If so, who were the parents of Nancy Cornett? Don't say Samuel and Nancy, she married Samuel Combs.

Does anyone have the pension records for Levi indicating who his children were, when he married, etc. Rachel cannot have been born 1812, because her parents did not marry until 1819, and her mother Nancy would have been a child.

I also have another Rachel Combs born 1830 Perry Co., KY

I have the same children plus more for both Levi and Nancy and Levi and Rachel. Which makes me suspect he was married twice?

The 1860 census might help, for the younger children, but the older would be gone. If you have source info, I truly will appreciate your help. I am tearing my hair out.

I have info on the Grayson Co. Va. Cornett family- David Cornett, James Monroe Cornett, Granville Harrison Poole, Feby Sutherland [wife of David Cornett] and Alexander Sutherland.

Also have list from Central Cemetery in Flat Ridge Va. . There are several Catron listings as well. Let me know if I can help.

New to this. Searching for Ethel Cornett born about 1889 -- I think in KY. Married to John William Burns born Feb 20, 1881 in Letcher Co, KY. Just found out this info. I have nothing except this to go on.

I need to clarify the children of Andrew Jackson Cornett. I have info after him and before back to Erin Cornet. I have a conflict on his children.

I am looking for the line of the Cornett family from around Jackson and Canoe Kentucky. My mother is Mary Ann Cornett, her father was William Blackburn Cornett, his mother was Nancy Arrowood, his father was Alford Cornett, and we believe his father was Samuel Cornett. If anyone has information on this line of Cornetts, please email me at comet7@geocities.com. Thank you.

I would like further information on the following Lee County marriage: Marion INGRAM, 25 yrs, 1st marriage to Flora Bell CORNETT, 21 yrs, 2nd marriage. They were married at Mary Cornett's house on December 23, 1897. Witnesses were James Cornett and Sarah Cornett. Can anyone be of help?

My wife and I both descend from William Cornett (my wife, twice). Visit our genealogy page at... http://www.users.mis.net/~chesnut/gendef.htm

My line is from Nancy Cornett married to Samuel Combs. Their daughter Rachel Cornett Combs married Levi Pennington. Have quite a large database on the Pennington's, Cornett's, and allied families.

My father is of course Ellis R. Cornett, Sr., son of Robert Cornett and Dora Ratliff Cornett born in Perry County, Ky. Place called Little Leatherwood.

Most of our male relatives probably worked at Blue Diamond Coal Co.

Dad moved to Pikeville, Ky. in the 40's and married Constance I Justice and raised 3 children, myself, Penelope Ann, and Michael D. Cornett

Looking for information on Mary Cornett b: Abt 1825, location unknown, but probably in Eastern Ky or Virgina. Married a Pallace Bowling b: Abt 1828 m: April 03, 1845 in Clay Co. Kentucky.

I am researching the family/ancestors of Samuel Cornett. Unfortunately, I know very little about him. Sam is supposed to have been born in time to be a young man during the Civil War to a wealthy North Carolina family. He fought for the North while his three brothers fought for the South. As a result, he was disowned and moved to Eastern Kentucky and married Nancy McIntosh and had a son James (b.ABT 1882 m.Julia Bryant d.1953). I suspect that a lot of this story is fiction and that Sam came from Kentucky. If you have ANY information on a Samuel Cornett, I would really love to see it! Thanks!

I just found info in a funeral home record book on the father of L. T. Cornett, great-grandfather of my late husband. The family only knew that he was suppose to have come from Texas sometime after the Civil War. In the funeral home record for his sister, Martha Cornett Ellison b. 1852 in Tenn, it listed father as Henry Cornett, mother as ___ Gordon. Two brothers L.T. Cornett, Cedar Creek Mo and Joe Cornett, OK. There was a name mentioned, E. L. Poff, of Ft. Worth Texas, but no relationship noted.

Does anyone know of this Cornett family in Tenn? The marriage info for Henry and the Gordon? This was such an accident since I wasn't even looking for them that my mind is still spinning. <G>

I am interested in the families of Hardy CORNETT of Edgefield District of SC and of George CORNETT of Albermarle Parish in Surry/Sussex counties, VA. Especially need information on the parents of George CORNETT (he received a land grant in 1722, estate inventoried 1767 in Sussex County, VA. It appears his son Joel had an illegitimate son Hardy that may be the South Carolina Hardy CORNETT. I can share information on some of the CORNETT families of Georgia, especially those of Harris County.

In our papers, we show a Nancy TAYLOR married A Flemming CORNETT 30 Aug 1870, in Grayson Ct. VA. His parents were Alfred & Elizabeth. I'd like more information on the Flemming Cornett family, if possible.

Also,I'm interested in records on a Fellowship Baptist Church which existed in Grayson Ct. in 1871, and had a Jasper Cornett as a trustee.

Any help would be appreciated.

My grandmother was Sarah Elizabeth Cornette married my grandfather Able Phophet Parker (Laurel Co Ky). Sarah's Parents were: Clark Cornette (B ? in Breathitt Co. Ky., D ? Jackson Co, KY) married to Rebecca ?.

Also have information on Paul William Cornette (1924-1980) son of Arnold Cornette and Hazel Marrell Green also all of around Laurel County, Ky.

Any one out there related? Please e-mail me at sogomo@bright.net.
