• Notes

  BIOGRAPHY: http://fuldaohio.com/genealogy/pafg1125.htm Jacob Cornett [Parents ] 1 , 2 , 3 was born 4 on 8 Jan 1838 in Bundenthal, Pfalz, Bavaria, Germany. He married 5 Katherine Burkhart on 24 Oct 1870 in Monroe Co., OH. Name in christening record in IGI: Joannes Jacobus Cornet. Sources conflict on date of birth: 8 Jan 1838 -- Intenational Genealogical Index1837 or 1838 -- 1880 censusMay 1835 -- 1900 census Jacob Cornett (28) 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 (21), 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. Two first cousins both named Jacob Cornett lived a few doors away from each other in Proctor, Wetzel County, West Virginia in the 1880 census. This Jacob (42) lived with his wife Catherine (32) and children Andrew (9), John (8), Minnie (6), Clements (5), Jacob (4) and Theodore (1). None of the children attended school. Jacob and his wife were natives of Byron (Bavaria). The children were all born in Ohio except Theodore, who was born in West Virginia. Jacob Cornett was a farmer who could not read or write. In 1900, Jacob Kornet (65) rented a house at 47 Iten St. in Allegheny City, Allegheny City, Pennsylvania. Living in the household with Jacob were his wife, Katherina (54), and children John (27), Peter C. (23), Minnie (25), Maria M. (19), Theodore F. (21), and Michael (17). It is not known why the children were not listed in chronological order, as was the usual custom in the census. Jacob was a naturalized citizen who could not read or write. His occupation was "day laborer," but he had been unemployed for 8 months of the previous year. (The family was found under the name "Kornety" in the census index.) According to the 1900 census, both Jacob and Katherine came to America 55 years ago, in 1845. This seems unlikely, especially in Katherine's case, since she gave her age as 54.
