Dorothy, I was in a similiar quandary a couple years ago. I had driven from Kentucky to middle Tennessee to do some research. It was the first time I'd been to Cornersville. It's a wonderful town filled with friendly people. I saw an elderly gentleman cleaning up the town square, where the nice little park is and asked him. He took me to a small grocery across the street. I can't remember the name but you'll see it. It's where the old-timers congregate. Everyone there was most helpful. One gentleman told me he didn't remember any Beattys living in Cornersville but he had only been there since 1925. <g> Good hunting.
