He is a son ofWilliams Corn, who was one of the earliest settlers of the county. Thefather was born in Henry County, Kentucky Feb 16, 1800 and he in turnwas a son of George Corn, who was a native of Germany, and had come tothis country when a young man, in season to take part in theRevolution, and his adopted country found in him a good soldier. Heserved faithfully throughout the war, and then spent a number of yearsfighting the Indians on the frontier, being actively engaged in 9campaigns. he finally retired to private life, locating in the wildsof Henry County, Kentucky where he met and married Jane WILLIAMS. Theymade their home there until they rested from their labors in the sleepthat knows no waking, his death occurring first and hers shortlyafter. They reared a family of 7 children: John; Sam; Singleton;Miles; Williams; Margaret and Mary Ann. Williams Corn was married inhis native county in 1821 to Sarah, daughter of Joseph Allen. Thefirst few years of their wedded life were passed in Henry County andthen they departed from their old home to dwell in the wilds ofIndiana. They penetrated as far north as Parke County, where theyremained a year. In the fall of 1829 they came to Montgomery Countyand Mr. Corn entered 80 acres of land from the Government in ScottTownship. He cleared apart of it, then sold it and March 10, 1832removed to Clark Township where he had entered 80 acres of land andbought another tract of like size. He settled on that land clearedaway the timber, fenced it into convenient fields, and built acomfortable house, in which he died in 1859, the county thus losingone of its most useful and respected pioneers. His wife survived himuntil 1874 when she, too passed away at an advanced age. She was afirm Christian and a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. Mr. Cornwas a Whig in politics until that party's dissolution, and then heturned tot he Democratic party. He was the father of 12 children, ofwhom 8 grew to maturity and four are still living.

Her father was a prominent pioneer farmer of thattownship. In November 1850, Mr. Corn bought 80 acres of forest land onSec. 30, Walnut Twp, and he and his wife took up their residence in alittle log cabin which he built, and which is still standing, a relicof the days when they were young together and were working withcheerful resolution to overcome every obstacle in the upbuilding of ahome and a competency. Mr. Corn labored with untiring zeal to clearhis land and to get it into a good state of cultivation and has 124acres of land, all in a fine condition and supplied with all thenecessary improvements. In the summer of 1869 he replaced his humblecabin home by a neat frame residence, and has other substantialbuildings. Mr. and Mrs. Corn have had 10 children of whom 8 are stillliving.
