Re: Erin Cornett -> King Harthacanute?

brkshrm — 2012-03-12 15:48:29Z

Thank you Ed! I believe my mother in laws Great Grandfather was George W. Cornett 1888-1947. Parents were John(Elijah) and Winnie? I believe his brother was Grover? He married Etta Hatcher Cornett. He and Etta had 7 kids, one of them being my mother in laws grandmother. I just followed the leaves and it led me to William Cornett. I hope my information is correct.

The family of William Jesse Cornett is covered in the booklet " Genealogy Of William Cornett, 1761-1836" by John Dixon Cornett. privately published in 1938. William was a Revolutionary War soldier and is buried in the Cornett Family Cemetary , next to the old Cornett Cabin near Cornettsville, KY. The cabin is still inhabited by Cornett descendants, and is the oldest occupied dwelling in Ky., I'm told. A Cornett Family reunion is held at the cabin each year in May.

Re: Erin Cornett -> King Harthacanute?

edwardfcornett1 — 2012-03-12 03:52:26Z

Yes, the book is "The Cornett Family" by Essie Richardson Cornett. Published by vantage Press,516 West 34th St., New York City. NY. in 1971. Her husband, was Grover Cleveland Cornett. The late Grover Cleveland Cornett and I are both descendants of William Cornett, a Revolutionary War soldier who founded Cornettsville, in Perry County , KY., in the late 1790s. William was a son of John Cornett (Canute) of Grayson & Henrico Counties, Virginia. Tax rolls of the area in the mid 1700s show both Canute & Cornett as the spelling of the family name. I believe John Cornett, and several sons , came from England in the mid 1700s.

I believe the book was written by Essie R. Cornett. I am researching the family of William J. Cornett 1761-1836.

Re: Erin Cornett -> King Harthacanute?

Erin, There are several "Cornett Family Books," by different authors. Can you tell me who wrote the one for which you are looking, or which Cornett family you are researching?

Re: Erin Cornett -> King Harthacanute?

brkshrm — 2012-03-11 01:11:18Z

Sarah Cornett in North Carolina

kathypaulus1 — 2011-11-23 12:40:59Z

Does anyone know anything about a Sarah Cornett marrying Nathan Presnell who was born 16 Jul 1838. I would guess they married around 1868-69. We all thought he married once and it was a Sarah Shupe/Shoop. But now I have found death certificates for some of his children. The one for my direct ancestry lists Sarah Cornett as his mother. Cornett's lived in the area but I can't find anything else to link a to Sarah Cornett to Nathan Presnell.

Re: Cornett, Mary Polly

KathyMeyer57 — 2011-11-15 16:26:56Z

Mary (Polly) POLLY, was the eldest daughter of Edward (Ned) POLLY and Jane Buntin Adams POLLY. She was born March30, 1828 in the state of Indiana. She married Stephen CORNETT on Dec. 3, 1848. I believe Stephen was born abt. 1832 in Harlan County, Kentucky. The CORNETT family moved to Missouri about 1853. Stephen died March 16, 1897 in Rocky Mount, Morgan, Missouri. Mary died in 1880 in Missouri City, Fort Bend, Texas.
Stephen was the son of Jesse H. Cornett (1795-1887) and Nancy Branham Smith (1795-1850)
Jesse was the son of John Samuel Cornett (1759-1849) and Mary Benham (1774-1795)
John was the son of John L. Cornett (1737-1796) and Elizabeth Bacon Mosby (1739-1801)
John L. was the son of Earl Canute (1696-1781) and Ann (1697-1767) Earl was born in Southhampton, England and came to Henrico, Virginia.
In 1860, a Joseph Polly, age 14, was living with the family. He later became Joseph Cornett. He could have been born out of wedlock.
Edward was born Jan. 15, 1850, William was born Jan. 24, 1852, John L. was born March 3, 1854, David was born March 1, 1860, Mahala was born Feb. 18, 1862, Hiram was born abt. 1865, James was born abt. 1867, Elizabeth (Bettie) was born abt. 1869, and Mary was born abt.1872.
Apparently Mary died at or after the birth of Mary in 1872.
John L. Cornett married Elizabeth Walters on May 11, 1871
William Cornett married Wlizabeth Willson on April 30, 1878
David Cornett married Alice Landrum
Hiram Cornett married Frances Cooper on April 24, 1896
Elizabeth Cornett married B. Cobbs on September 18, 1892
Joseph has been listed with a wife, Sarah Ellen
Mary Cornett married Samuel Long

I am researching Cornett in Perry, KY. My grand father was Claude James Cornett, son of James Cornett and Margaret Fitzpatrick, James was son of Granville Cornett and Hettie Hogg. Granville was son of Anderson Cornett b. 1820 and Susan Harris. Does this tie into any of yours?

I am looking for information regarding James "Jim" Cornett born 1876, married first to Haney Turner, then to Lula Strong and finally to my grandmother, Lily Deaton. He passed away in 1953 (possibly 1954). I would LOVE to have any information anyone has regarding his family and how far back and how long they have been in America. Thank you so much!

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-07 03:01:16Z

The April 9, 1923, edition of the Atlanta Constitution has an article mentioning Elizabeth Cornett as Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler Grow. It says she is is bad health and about to enter the hospital for a surgery from which she may not emerge. This fits with the 1924 date of her death, I hope I remembered the year of her death correctly.

This is an article concerning the claim from Dr. Evans that she and E. Y. Clarke were supporting Simmons and trying to throw Dr. Evans from the Grand Wizard seat.

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-07 02:33:41Z

Apparently, Mr. Tyler was her second husband. Her first husband, according to her claim in 1906, was Owen C. Carroll. The Atlanta Constitution, on July 16, 1913, has a large article about the death of Joshua B. Crawford, her grand uncle. Joshua B. Crawford left an estate worth $250,000. It is alleged that a woman married him to kill him and get his money. The article is about a court hearing due to his death. A few other Crawfords are mentioned.

Mrs. Elizabeth Cornett Tyler is mentioned as a grandniece who is taking a course at Southern College of Medicine and Surgery and expects to become a licensed physician. There is a picture of her and the caption says she states that she wouldn't have known Joshua Crawford if she met him on the street. He was the uncle of her mother.

I'll bet if you search the newspaper archives you'll find more on Joshua Crawford and/or Elizabeth Cornett Tyler.

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-06 22:44:42Z

Yes, I made a mistake saying she was a Grow. Grew or Grow was a later husband. Sorry.

I've just posted a booklet entitled "Descendents of ARCHELUS CORNUTT, the Son of James Cornutt, 1743 - 1957." It is 47 pages long and should be of help to you. You can find it in my public family tree: "Micka - Cornett - Wright - Pollock Family Branches" under the name of James Canute, b. 1644 as media photo uploads -- all 47 pages! While it does not help me in my direct lineage, it should help you and others... Happy researching!!!

Re: Cornett

CALICOCAT — 2011-07-02 22:10:10Z

Mary Elizabeth Cornett married Andrew Manning May 13, 1897
in Coweta County, Ga. Their daughter, Minnie Dorris was born July 2, 1897. He divorced her Oct. 6, 1906. Some time after that, she married a Tyler. I have been unable to find anything on this marriage. Then on Aug.19, 1922 she married Stephen Grow. She left the Klan in 1923 and they all moved to California. She died there on Sept. 10, 1924.

Re: Cornett

dlaackman1 — 2011-07-02 15:39:32Z

Thank you. Her Maiden name was Cornett. She was born to Benjamin and Fannie Cornett in NW Atlanta in 1881. Grow was her second married name(1922). She died Elizabeth Grow in California in 1924. The house in NW Atlanta is on the National Registry of Historic Places, built in 1921, impressive Greek revival house. I'm still looking for her 1st marriage in approx 1896 to a man named Tyler. They had a daughter. He divorced or abandoned her immediately in '96 or '97.

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-01 03:41:19Z

I can tell you that the Elizabeth Tyler who promoted the Klan lived on Howell Mill Rd. in NW Atlanta around 1920. There was a hearing that said she lived there. If you can find out what ward that was in 1920 it might help you find this Elizabeth Tyler. Her maiden name was Grew if that will help.

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-01 02:39:19Z

Mary Elizabeth Carroll submitted Cherokee claim #27076 giving her birthdate as July 10, 1881 and her husband as Owen C. Carroll. In 1900 she is in Fulton Co., Ga, age 18. Her name is Bessie Cornett and she was born July 1881. I don't know if she was married before this.

Re: Cornett

Coffee_Alabama — 2011-07-01 02:38:31Z

John Wesley Cornett is on Fulton Co., GA in 1900, 1910, and 1930. I didn't find him in 1920. If you get death certificate #08503 from the State of Georgia it should have his parents. He died Feb. 22, 1975 in Douglas Co., Ga. Different dates are given for his birth. I have April 13, 18887 but his brother, Benjamin Rudolph said it was April 10.

His father is Benjamin M. Cornett on p.43 of the 1900 Fulton Co., Ga census. Benjamin's wife was Mary Frances Crawford. I have the Cherokee application which states this. I can provide a copy.

Benjamin's father was B. MArion Cornett and his mother was Elizabeth Helton, daugther of James Calvon and Camilla Southerland Helton.

Re: Cornett

dlaackman1 — 2011-06-30 16:33:16Z

If your grandmother was Elesby A. Cornett, do you have any information on her older sister, Mary Elizabeth "Bessie" Cornett born July 10, 1881? I am trying to find any info on her, especially her marriage. I believe she may have married at age 14 or 15 to a man named Tyler. She had a daughter and by 16 was divorced, widowed, or abandoned. She is thereafter known as Elizabeth "Bessie" Tyler. She became very prominent in 1920-24 as a promoter and marketer of the KKK. I am writing a book on this story.

donna1t7gebhsu8pnit8s1t1l76u1jfvod — 2011-06-22 08:24:49Z

I, too, am related to Cornetts from KY. My great-grandmother was Polly Cornett who married James Parks. They lived near Buckhorn Lake. Polly was born Feb. 18, 1882, and died June 14, 1956. Among her children were Charles Parks, who was killed in WWII, and my grandfather, Bennett Parks. She moved to Hamilton Ohio where her husband worked in a factory (Champion Paper, I believe), and then back to KY later. She only agreed to return to the mountains of KY if she could have indoor plumbing, so my great-grandfather built a house near a cliff with a freshwater spring and water from the spring ran by gravity through their house.

Will H. Cornett, born about 1840

margerice1 — 2011-06-15 02:55:35Z

I have an original carte de visite photograph of “Will H. Cornett”, which I’d like to get back to descendants or family members. Photo was taken in Louisville (Jefferson Co.) KY, and he looks to be about age 22-25. Photo was taken approximately 1860-1870.

I found a William H. Cornett, born abt 1841 in Kentucky, in the 1860 census for Linn Co., MO, son of Nancy Cornett.
