Notes:

BIOGRAPHY: Jacob Cornett (21) came to America on board the Harpswell, which sailed from Le Havre, France and arrived in New York on 28 May 1866. His first cousin, also named Jacob Cornett (28), was also on the ship. The two men were listed together on the ship's register. Both men were farmers. There was also a woman named Catherine Burkhardt (21). This may have been the future wife of the older Jacob Cornett.
Jacob has not been found in the 1870 US census. Jacob and Mary Ann Cornett moved their family from Fulda OH to West Virginia in 1877.
In 1880, Jacob Cornet (34) lived on a farm in Proctor , Wetzel County, West Virginia with his wife Mary (34) and daughters Barbara (8), Catherine (7), Rosa (5), Philomena (2), and Christina (11 mos). None of the children attended school. The oldest three girls were born in Ohio, the other two in West Virginia. Jacob and his wife were natives of Byron (Bavaria). According to the census, Jacob could not read or write. Jacob's first cousin -- the "other" Jacob Cornett -- lived a few doors away.
At the time of the 1900 census, widower Jacob Cornet (54, b. Oct 1845) rented a home at 1030 River Ave. in the eighth ward of Allegheny City, Allegheny Co., Pennsylvania. Living with him were his unmarried daughters Barbara (26, b. Aug 1873), Tina (20, b. Jun 1879), Tillie (19, b. Feb 1881), and Lizzie (14, b. Jun 1885); as well as his widowed daughter Katie Fethers (25, b. Apr 1875), and her children Madelena (3, b. Mar 1897) and Albert (1, b. Mar 1899). No one in the household attended school. Jacob was employed as a laborer. All of his daughters worked outside the home except Barbara.
