William CORNETT, Coon Creek, Leslie County, KY, Jan. 17, 1898. (John Jay
Dickey Diary, p. 2138, extracted from Clay Co KY Rootsweb Archives) I was
born in Perry county, KY, Feb. 3, 1814 on Leatherwood Creek. My father's
name was Archibal CORNETT. He was born in East Tennessee on either Little
or Big Moccasin. His father's name was James CORNETT who came to Perry
County, KY. When my father was a boy 7 to 10 year s old. My father was 84
years old when he died in 1873. This would make the coming of the CORNETTS
to KY from 1796 to 1799. My grandfather was married twice, once to a
GILLAM, once an EVEREDGE. He had children as follows: Nathaniel, Samuel,
Roger, Archibald, William, John, Robert, Lucy (Woolery EVERSOLE),
Elizabeth (CAMPBELL) Nancy (Samuel Combs), Archibald, my father, married
Judy McDANIEL; Robert (a Combs), Roger, Charlotte (CALLAHAN). (By D. Y.
LYTTLE). "Sam CORNETT, the progenitor of the people of that name in the
mountains came from Scott County, Virginia to Harlan County, Kentucky, and
removed from there to Line Fork in Perry County. Also General Lige Combs,
the progenitor of the large family of Combses, could neither read nor
write, but was a man of great intellect and force of character. He owned a
great deal of land in Perry County. His son, Jesse, was the first clerk in
Perry County. General, when asked by a woman in Frankfort how old he was,
replied, "Madam, I have lived long enough to eat 500 bushels of hominy."
