1678
In the county of Isle of Wight, Virginia, Ann Cornes was mentioned in a will of Peter Hayes as a sister, dated `1678.

April, 1706
A court record of April, 1706, Northumberland County, Va., shows a record of Thomas Corne being transferred  to that county by George Eskridge.
*(A notation made by Dave,)*
I would think by the spelling of the name and the tendancy to spell phonetically, his name was to be pronounced "Corney".

1709
Same county, Mary Cornes served as witness in will of Richard Bennet, 1709.

1710
In the will of the widow Jane Smith, Mary Cornes again was mentioned and her son William.  This instrument was dated 1710.
It would seem that Peter Hayes family and Jane Smith family were related, as both wills make reference to other family members with the last name of Bythessa.

September 3rd, 1745
A will of John Van Meter was probated in  what is now Berkely County, West Virginia, at that time, it was in Virginia.
Andrew Corn served as a witness. John Van Meter came from Maryland, and before that, New Jersey.
 

Feb 20, 1747
Andrew Corn served as a witness in a will for Rebecca Lucas. The will was probated 2 August, 1748 in Berkely County.
 

In 1750 and 1752
Andrew Corn served as a chain carrier in surveys for Van Swearingen and Edward Morgan, respectively, same county and general location. (Berkely County.)  In fact, records indicate that all of these peoples lives were intertwined, or neighbors.  Most all of the persons mentioned elsewhere on these documents came from Maryland, or eastern Pa.

1749
In  a survey by Guy Broadwater in the service of Lord Fairfax in 1749, in what is now Mineral County, West Va., then Hampshire County, Va., a George Corn was situated on land near New Creek.

1752
Andrew and Timothy Corn were chain carriers in a survey for George Parker for land on the New Creek, same county.

1753
George Corn was appointed constable, same county.

1754
Edward Corn died, as per a deed of sale dated 1787, between his grandson, William, and Andrew Corn.
Edward had a son, the oldest, named William.  The manner of Edwards death is not clear.  It could have been from natural causes, or by indians, as that was near the time that the indians began raids in that part of the country.
At the time of his death, Edward was living on Lot #7, Patterson Creek Manor.

*(Note from Dave)*
Has not found a connection in relationship to the 2 Edward Corn's listed in 1754 and the one listed in 1761.

1761
Joseph Neville, surveyor in the employ of Lord Fairfax, surveyed the Patterson Creek Manor, then Hampshire County, Va.,
and found George Corn, Edward Corn and Phillip Langley, and Timothy Corn living on lots numbered 2, 6 and 7 respectively.

November 1761Hampshire County, Va., now Mineral County, West Virginia.Timothy Corn was a chain carrier in a survey for John Douthitt, who was a neighbor of George Corn in 1749 and 1761.  This survey was dated November of 1761.
The next year, Timothy Corn had 91 acres surveyed, with John Douthitt carrying the chain, and then he assigned this land to Hugh Murphey in 1763.

April 1767
Hampshire County, Va., now Mineral County, West Virginia, David Corn was a chain carrier in two surveys, the first for Isaac Sparks on Mill Creek and Patterson Creek, and the second was for Samuel Kennedy.

1769
In Hampshire County, Va., now Mineral County, West Virginia, Edward E. Corn served as a witness in a land transaction.
That same year, Edward and David Corn served as scouts for the Hampshire militia, and Andrew Corn provided provisions.

1771
Edward Corn transferred his lease on lot # 6, Patterson Creek Manor, to John Gilmore, George Corn transferred his lease to William Vause, and Timothy Corn transferred his lease to Andrew Corn.  Andrew then gained a lease agreement with the absenty landlord of the Patterson Creek Manor for a lease of three lives, or 99 years. That deed of lease mentioned the three lives of Andrew, Mary, the daughter of Andrew, and Timothy Corn, son of Timothy Corn, deceased.  That lease of 1771 stated that lot
# 7, Patterson Creek Manor was surveyed for Timothy Corn, then assigned to Andrew, and that Andrew was already living on the land.
Howeverr, in 1787, William Corn, and his wife Hannah, of Washington County, Pa., conveyed to Andrew Corn lot # 7, Patterson Creek Manor.  In this deed, it was stated that William was the grandson of Edward who had made improvements on that lot but that he "departed this life"  before he was able to obtain a lease from Lord Fairfax, and that as he (Edward) died with out a will, the lot fell to his oldest son and heir at law, William, and then to his son William, the son of the said William, son of the said Edward.
In this deed, the handwriten sentences were evenly spaced, except one, which was squeezed between two other sentences, almost as an afterthought, which specificaly states that William relinquishes his "estate right" to the lot.   The language of the deed seems to imply that William had no more rights to the land, but this additional sentence was deemed to be needed and it leads me to think that Andrew Corn had the understanding that the land had already passed out of the hands of William, and was then taking an extra step to make sure.  The deed states that William Corn was making the conveyance as he and his wife were moving, but they already lived in Washington County in 1782, and were still there in 1800.  AndrewCorn died in 1790, but before that, he was taken to Chancery Court by Timothy Corn for land that he was using that had been given to the father of Timothy, Timothy Sr., by Windle or Wendall Miller, who lived on lot # 8.  It is interesting to think that this gift might have been because of marriage.  Mr. Miller was killed near that area by indians in 1761, so Timothy had to have been living on lot #7 before 1761.  In 1795, Timothy entered into a land transaction with Mary Price , the daughter and only child of Andrew Corn, deceased, for her interest in the property.  Mary married John Hill Price, who was the administrator of the estate of Andrew, and was also the ovrseer of the orphans in Hampshire County.

1771
George Corn, after he had left the Patterson Creek Manor in 1771, turned up along with his sons in what became south west Pa., what Virginia thought was her land.  This land was called the District of West Augusta, then became the three counties of Virginia; Ohio, Yohogania, and Monhengalia.  This land dispute would have erupted into open war had it not been for the Revolution, and the boundry was finaly settled in the early 1780's.  George and his sons were in that area from 1774, as per court records, until 1778.  One of his sons participated in the short lived Lord Dunmores War of 1774, another son fought in the north during the Revolution, and three of his sons, including his namesake, established "Tomahawk"land claims in Kentucky between 1775 and 1777.

1783
William Corn was in Washington County, Pa. in the 1783 tax records, as was David Corn, the former in Nottingham twp., and the latter in Peters twp.  David Corn was mentioned as being one of the Rangers serving on the frontier towards the end of the Revolutionary War.  Both William and David were again in there respective twps. in the 1790 and 1800 census records, but in the 1790 census, they were both listed as "Coin".  William Corn took the oath of allegience to the United States in 1794 following the Wiskey Rebellion in that part of the state.

1790
Timothy Corn and Andrew Corn  are found in the Hampshire County, Va. "Will" records for a "land division".
