This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Cornett, Shaffer Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/iVB.2ACI/2411 Message Board Post: William Cornett was born 4/5/1781 in NC, perhaps in Lincoln County, and died 10/15/1840 in Howard County, MO. He married Nancy Shaffer 6/9/1811 in Lincoln County, KY. He may have been the son of William and Susannah (Burgess?)Cornett listed in the 1790 Lincoln County, NC Census. I am seeling the identity of the parents of William Cornett. David C. Galloway [email protected]
