A HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY, OHIO by D. W. Williams--AN OLD TIME WEDDING---(I will only give highlights, anyone wanting article, I'll send copy)
It was perhaps as early as 1826 when Old George Corn settled on the hill abt. a mile south of the place where Jefferson Furnace is now located. He came from Old virginia, had been soldier in war of Rev. he had been married twice, had a large family. I have often heard him remark he ws the father of 20 children. he was a small man, but his sons were all remarkably stout, healthy men. William Corn, one of his sons, married Polly Massie, a daughter of Robbin Massie, and Peter Corn married Rebecca, another daughter, while Big Jep, their brother married Lucy Corn.
This goes on to describe a bit about the wedding festivities for Big Jep and Lucy.
I believe this is George Corn, brother of John Peter, Jesse and Samuel. George is buried in Jeffeson Township, Jackson Co., Ohio. They seemed to be there by 1816 as John S. Corn, prob. a son is on voting list for first election in Jackson Co, Ohio in 1816. George Corn and Wm Ware and Hugh Poor are all signing a petition for a "house of entertainment"in 1818. Hugh Poor is a judge. Wm Ware and Elizabeth Corn married in Patrick Co. Va 1807 and George Corn gave consent. Hugh Poor also is in Patrick Co around 1800 or before. DAR centenial edition says George Corn died prob Ohio so I think this is him. He is in a Rev War grave. A lot of same names keep popping up.----Mary
