"Albert CORN, residing on Section 30, Walnut Township has aided in thedevelopment of Montgomery County by reclaiming a valuable farm fromthe forests that once prevailed in this region. 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.

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.

He continued tolive with his parents for two years after his marriage, which occurredNov 23, 1848 when Rachel, daughter of Asa RANDAL of Clark Townshipbecame his wife. 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.

Among those who came to Montgomery Co, IN when the country was in itsprimitive wildness, infested by wild animals, numerous and ferocious,and when the scarecely less wild, but more savage red men, had notlong been gone to other hunting grounds, was the CORN family, theprogenitors of the gentleman whose name forms the introduction of thissketch, having invaded the wilderness here 86 years ago, and from thatremote day to the present time the name has been a familiar sound overthis locality. They performed well their parts in the work ofdeveloping the country from the primeval woods to one of the foremostagricultural sections in the great Hoosier state, and the elder Corns,together with the other early actors in the great drama whichwitnessed the passing of the old and the introduction of the newconditions in which are now the fine farms and thriving towns of thisCounty are deserving of every consideration.

We of today cannot pay such sterling characters too great a meed ofpraise, in view of the sacrifices they made in order that theirdescendants and others of a later day should enjoy the blessings oflife, only a few of which they were permitted to have. George W. CORNwas born on the farm where he now lives in Sect 5 Clark Twp,Montgomery Co, Feb 20, 1841 and here he has been content to spend hislife. He is a son of Williams and Sarah (ALLEN) Corn. Williams Cornwas b. in Henry Co KY Feb 16 1800 and was a son of George & RhodaCorn. Sarah B. Allen was b. in Shelby CO Ky Aug 16, 1799 and in thatstate she and Mr. Corn grew to maturity, received a meager educationaltraining and were married. They moved to Montgomery CO, IN in 1827, atwhich time they had three children, namely: Rhoda Jane, b. 2-28- 1824;Albert b. 11-9-1825 and Elizabeth E. b. 10-2-1827, the latter an inf.two or three months old. They bought a farm in sect 6, Scott Twp, SEof what is now the village of New Market in 1827. They found a countrylittle improved.

The wolves surrounded the house at night and with their unearthlyhowling struck terror to the hearts of the timid inmates. Indians, nowfriendsly to the whites, often went up and down Cornstalk Creek whichtouches the land on which this family settled. In about two yearsWilliams Corn sold his first place and moved to the present Cornhomestead, occupied by our subject.

They bought the 80 acres on which the house stands west of the presentroad, and entered from the government an adjoining 80 directly east ofit, the two 80 acre parcels comprising the NW 1/4 of Section 5. Only 5or 6 acres of this second farm had been cleared, and it was enclosedwith a brush fence, and there had been built a log cabin near aSpring.

Here Mr. Corn quickly built of hewn logs a larger and more comfortabledwelling and in 1843 he built another and still better house, and inthis he and his wife spent the rest of their lives. They worked hardand clared and developed the place and became very well fixed asfarmers of that early day. To Williams Corn and wife were b. 9 ch.after they located in this County, making their family a larger one,12 in all, with the three elder who first opened their eyes to the skyin the BLue Grass state.

The ones born here were: Nancy A b. Oct 26, 1829; Mary Ann b. May 14,1831; Margare D b. May 1, 1833; Sarah Eliza b. Aprl 16 1835; John W.b. Aug 12, 1837; William b. July 23, 1838; Stephen A, b. Aug 15, 1839;Martha E, b. Aug 23, 1842 and our subject, George W. The death ofWilliams Corn occurred on Nov 11, 1859, having been 59 years old theprevious Feb. He was a hard working, honest man, who preferred toremain at home, never seeking office, although loyal in his support ofthe Whig party.

He was assisted in his hard work of clearning and developing the farmby his older sons and daughters. The good wife also worked hard, spunand wove until late into the night to make clothes for her children,even George W., the next to the youngest child, remembers well thelinen clothes. But they were a contented family and lived ascomfortably as others in those days hardships.

The mother was called to her rest May 4, 1874. She was a member of theBaptist Church. The paternal grandfather, George Corn, was a native ofGermany, from which country he emigrated to the U.S. when young andsettled in the wilds of Ky, from which state he enlisted for servicein the War of 1812, in which he fought as a private. 2003 USGenWebProject for Montgomery County, Indiana, Karen Zach."

3). By 1810, there were two more George Corn's in Kentucky accordingto the marriage records.
4). In the 1810 census of Henry County, George Corn was 26-45 yearsold, married with 3 young sons under 10 years, and 1 young daughterunder 10 years, his wife was 26-45 years of age.
5). George Corn is not found in the 1820 census records in Kentucky,Indiana, or Virginia. There is a George Corn inBloomfield,Jackson,Ohio at this time in the census records, with theages matching projected years of children noted in the 1810 census,but it cannot be confirmed that it is the same George Corn of HenryCounty. It was noted in our descendant grandson, Albert Corn's,biography that George Corn was in the War of 1812 and fought in 9different campaigns. If this is the case, George Corn of Henry Countymay not have been counted in the 1820 census. So, the 1820 censusrecord cannot be fully relied on since it is known that other "GeorgeCorn's" did exist by 1820.
6). In the 1830 census of Henry County, Kentucky, George Corn isfound to have 1 son 15-20 years, 1 son 20-30 years, and George Cornwas 70-80 years old (b. Bet. 1750-1760); 1 daughter 10-15 years; andhis wife Rhoda Jane was 50-60 years old (b. Bet. 1770 - 1780)
7). Taking into consideration the difference in ages between GeorgeCorn of Henry County and his wife in the 1830 census, then George Cornwas single in the 1787 census records at that time after all.
8). 22 March 2007, I found that in the Historical Register ofVirginians In The Revolution, 1775-1778, The Revolutionary War, by J.H. Gwathmey, 1979, & The 1787 Census of Virginia Records, that therewas only one George Corn listed in both records in the correct timeperiod.

Pennsylvania, on a March day in 1780 and resolutely turned their faces
toward the mysterious wilderness of Kentucky . . .." This, in turn,had
been taken from the pension application of George's son Timothywritten
in 1834.
A Brownstown, PA, is in Lancaster Co. in SE PA. Another, I am told, is
near Pittsburg. I have found nothing which connects the name Redstone
with Brownstown. However, there is a Fort Redstone in Brownsville, PA,
south of Pittsburg in Fayette Co. The above referenced Corn articlelater
states, "He is probably the same George Corn who, according to recordsof
the Kentucky Historical Society, lived with his five son in Bedford
County, Pennsylvania in 1777." This makes more sense since, I believe,
all of what is now SW PA was, in those days, a part of Bedford Co.
At Fort Redstone, they have no record of a Corn family in 1777.

Supposedly near Brownstone PA. Did some searches with other peoplethat
may have been there and found alot of Palatine immigrants there. In
another post about Edward I think that Old George and Edward arerelated
and that three of the sons of Old George were born in Patrick, VAbefore
he went to Redstone with mother Dolly as sent to me by anotherresearcher
that says in VA Birth records. No documents received yet, but thissure
would tie the VA Corns and Old George and Edward together if the
documents are true."

On September 20, 1824, in Henry Co., Kentucky, GEORGE CORN made awill, and on November 2, 1831, added a codicil. Excerpts from thewill are: "First, I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife, JANECORN, the tract of land on which I now live, containing 99 acres ...all horses, cows, hogs, sheep, and all other stock ... householdfurniture and tools of all kinds for her to use as she thinks mostproper in raising of my children.

A paper purporting to be the last will and testament of George Cornwas produced in Henry Co., Ky. court, and proven by oaths of SanfordBrent and Joseph Tagne (Tague), ... Recorded by Edwin P. Thomas,Clerk. (CAK)

From the above will, a question comes up as to why Miles L Corn wasleft off the will. At the time of the first writing Miles would havebeen 11 years of age and at 1831 would have been 18. Also in readingabout the will from a hand written account of the Corn family, itcould have been left out. (This is what happened as have obtained acomplete copy of George Corn's Will from source (KCT) and note theaddition of "Miles L" after George S and before Mary Ann in thefollowing excert.)

The author, Pauline Walters, of the above article wrote in her report,"I would like to know how our George Corn is related to George Corn(I), and his five sons, who came to Ky. from Pa." It would seem thatthere is some question as to her own research.

George Corn, Williams Corn's father fought in War of 1812.
(NOTE) the rest of this article continued with Williams Corn moreabout - Notes.
= = = = = =
A) From the article above - George Corn came from Germany, Wales orEngland according to the hand written account. (see reference to Mrs.E E Davidson and letter from a descendant of Timothy Corn)
B) From the WFT CD Volume 1, Tree 0467 under Mathew Corn - Mathew andMolly Corn, with 3 bros., Jesse, George and Samuel - came to thiscountry early in 1700. They were of German and Irish descents.
C) From the Familytreemaker Message board, in reply to RE: FrancisMarion Corn by a Gary Cornn, (587 of 783) for Mathew Corn under notedevents in his life was 1) Immigration, 1750, Virginia. Mathew and hiswife Mollie came to America with 3 brothers and 2 sons. The brotherswere Samuel, George and Jesse. The sons were George and Samuel.
D) From the WFT CD Volume 15, Tree # 0346 under John Adams Corn -John Adams Corn was born 1705 in Isle of Wright City, and died April1758 in Albemarle Co., Virginia. He married Mary (?). The childrenwere Mathew, Jesse, George and Samuel. It continues with Mathew beingborn about 1722 in Germany and that he married Molly. Their childrenwere John Peter, George, Samuel, Nancy Malinda and Jesse.
E) From the AOL Ancestry World Tree for Mathew Corn - it has amarriage date of 1751 in Albemarle Co., Virginia to Molly (Corn).
F) From the AOL Ancestry World Tree - Edward Corn married a MaryJones in 1703 in Maryland. Their children were William, Timothy,Sophia, Andrew, Edward and George Corn.
G) From the article - Kentucky Ancestors, Volume 14, No. 1, datedJuly 1978 - George Corn (parents unknown) died in 1832, Henry Co.,Kentucky.
H) From the book - Corn Family of Mercer Co., Kentucky, by James FCorn:
1) George Corn died 1801 in Mercer Co., Kentucky.
2) George Corn married Jane Williams, dau of David Williams, November8, 1796 in Shelby Co., Kentucky.
K) From the book - Kentucky Pioneer and Court Records:
1) Jane Corn married John Wright - 1801
2) Jesse Corn married Janny Vanarsdall March 24, 1808
3) George Corn married Ann Cooney March 2 or 28, 1809
4) Polly Corn married Nelson Harris March 4, 1812
5) William Corn married Delilah Gritton March 13, 1816
6) William Corn married Catharine Talbott December 2, 1830
L) Census records:
1600 - 1789 shows Jesse Corn in Fluvanna Co., VA and Andrew Corn inHampshire Co., VA plus some Corns in New Jersey.
1790 - shows possibly that Andrew has moved to Nelson Co., Ky plus theCorns in New Jersey, Maryland, New York, North Carolina andPennsylvania. There is a Noah in CT.
1800 - tax records of Clark Co., Shelby Co. and Mercer Co., Kentuckyand Knox Co., of Indiana. Two in Washington Co., Pennsylvania. Plusthose still in New Jersey and North Carolina and now Delaware andGeorgia.
1810 and 1820 give count of free white males and free white females.
1830 and 1840 give count to free white males and free white femalesplus male slaves and female slaves.
M) Census records of 1810 indicates that the counts do not match upwith the number of members of the family according to names, dates andgender. Example is that of Ebenezer Corn of Clark Co., in the 1810Census in that the number is correct as to how many people in thefamily are involved but the genders are reversed as is that of GeorgeCorn of Henry Co., Kentucky.
N) Misc. notes - Mercer Co., Corns - indicates that all the Cornswere Revolutionary War soldiers and that George Corn who enlisted in1777 at the age of 19 was discharged as a Lt. and from the samearticle that George applied for a pension and had a wife, Sally (age14), Tom Jefferson (age 11), and Malinda (age 9). Kentucky Ancestoryhas a George Corn of Shelby Co. or Henry Co., Kentucky, and had a willmade out in 1821 and listed his children plus his wife, Jane. Thewill was signed and witnessed in that George made his "mark" with anX, thus indicating that he could not read or write. The George thatwas a Rev. War soldier evidently was educated, in that members of hisfamily were officers as was he. (Possible field commission). Ages ofthe George Corns varies from abt 1720 to 1762.
O) The last entry here is from a lady that did a search onAncestry.com and came up with George Corn (father is George Corn andmother is Molly) who married Rhoda Jane Williams on March 28, 1796 inHenry Co., Kentucky. They had 7 children: John W, William, Margaret"Peggy", Samuel, George L, Mary Ann, and Miles L. She also statesthat a George Jr. was born in 1783 in Mercer Co., Kentucky. She alsomentions a Matthew and Molly Corn and a son by the name of George thatwent to Ohio and John Peter, Jesse and Samuel that married a MarySlaughter and moved to Missouri.
