The previous two emails about CORNETT families in Rowan Co. contained
the families of the three sons of Jesse H. CORNETT and Nancy Branham
SMITH, and their known (to me) descendants. This email contains three
other Rowan County CORNETT families who I have not tied in with the
others. Most likely they also are descendants or close relatives of
Jesse H. CORNETT. If anyone knows how they connect, please let me know.
The three families are:
1. Daniel Boone CORNETT and Susan WARD
2. Andrew H. CORNETT and Ella EASTON
3. J. W. CORNETT and Martha A. CAUDILL

Rowan Co. marriage Book 1, p. 32, records marriage on 10 Mar 1883
of Andrew H. Cornett and Ella Easton. The marriage is also recorded
in Book A, p. 59, on 12 Mar 1883. (From index only; I haven't examined
the originals. The very rough age for Andrew is estimated only assuming
he was probably age 18 - 33. I can't find either Andrew or Ella in the
Kentucky death index.)
He married Ella Easton, 12 Mar 1883 in Rowan Co., Kentucky. They had
the following children:
2 i. Elmer C. Cornett
3 ii. James C. Cornett

He married Martha A. Caudill, daughter of James M. Caudill & Rebecca
McClain. Born 28 Sep 1876 in Rowan Co., Kentucky. Died 4 Oct 1962 in Ky.
Martha is listed in the Jan 1935 obituary of her brother Albert as Mrs.
J. W. Cornett, Morehead. And Nola Cornett, married in 1927 at age 20,
lists her parents on her marriage license as J. W. & Martha Cornett.
Together, these would seem to imply that Martha was married to J. W.
Cornett from at least 1907 to 1935. I have not found a marriage record
for them, so the marriage was probably in Morgan Co. or Elliott Co.
They had the following children:
2 i. Nola Cornett

J. W. CORNETT and Martha A. CAUDILL - Second Generation
------------------------------------------------------
2. Nola Cornett. Born about 1907 in Rowan Co., Kentucky.
She married Vencil Riddle, son of Lewis Riddle & Mary Alice ("Allie")
Pelfrey, 17 Sep 1927 in Rowan Co., Kentucky. Born about 1904 in Rowan
Co., Kentucky.
Rowan Co. marriage Book 22, p. 113, records marriage on 17 Sep 1927
of Vencil Riddle, 23, s/o Lewis & Allie Riddle, to Nola Cornett, 20,
d/o J. W. & Martha Cornett, at Morehead by Owen Barnhart, witnesses
C. R. Kidd, W. S. Mabry.

That's all I have on Rowan County CORNETT records.

The information (from an earlier message) under Rachel Cornett does not include her third husband, David Smith. Rachel and David had about 9 children. Isaac Newton, Andrew Jacob, Rushie (F), Bud, Suzanna, Freda, Marion, William and I believe Evelyn who died as a child. Isaac died two years ago in Celina, OH. Isaac has 4 children...David (died c. 1966), Jessie (lives in Celina), Tilda Mae Johnson (lives in Hindman, KY), and another one in Texas. Andrew's first wife was Sylvania Beverly (d. 1940). They had 7 children ...Virginia (b. 1928 d. 1942 of pneumonia), Arnold (b. 1933), Evelyna(?), Larry (b. 1935), Tilda Mae (b. 1941), Truman (b. 1937), and Junior Ray (b. 1939 d. 1940).
Andrew remarried Zelma Everidge and had four children...Charlene (b. 1944 d.1996), Carol (b. 1951), Oliver (b. 1953), and Robert (b. 1955).
I can give you more detail on Rushie and Bud later.
Suzanna married Walter Couch and had one child...Bud Marlon (adopted).
Freda married David Greene and had one child ...Yvonne (adopted, b. 1948 d. 1992).
Marion lives in Illinois and I'll have to get more details to you later.
I can get you more extensive detail in a few weeks. I'm in the process of moving and some of the info is packed at the moment.

I am not actively researching CORNETT, but would be happy to do lookups for any of the names included in the CORNETT index from my database ...
