Surnames: Cornett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FBB.2ACE/787 Message Board Post: I'm looking for my great-grandfather Frank Cornett--he's my main brick wall at the moment. My late grandfather Jim Cornett remembered him possibly coming from Letcher County, but I'm having trouble finding him anywhere before 1886. He died in Jackson County in 1933. According to the 1900 Perry County Census, Frank was born about 1857. The 1st record I can find for him is the Perry County marriage record when he married Susan Cornett in April 1886. Cornett was her maiden name and I've found plenty about her family, but not his. She died about 1901 and Frank then married Susan Shepherd who was born in Perry County in 1878. I descend from Susan Shepherd, so the Susan Cornett charts really don't help me! If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciaate them! Scott Fischer
