Notes for Archelaus Cornett
This family group is based mostly on Archelaus’s estate settlement in Grayson Co. Will Book 2, p. 452, Jan 1849, which lists this distribution:
Stephen B. Cornett 147 acres
James 375 acres
John 113 acres
George 275 acres
Levianiah 400 acres
Wm 300 acres
Polly 205 acres
Rosamond Wright 385 acres
Birthdates of the children are based mostly on the 1850 and 1860 censuses of Grayson Co. Note that according to the census, George was older than John.

Notes for Rhoda [Cornett]
Since I don’t know when Archelaus and Rhoda were married, I don’t know for sure which children belong to which wife. She is very likely to be the mother of John and all the younger children, and to not be the mother of Stephen, since she is listed above John and William but below Stephen in the 1850 census. But James and George had already established separate households by 1850, and there is no large gap in the birthdates, so I don’t really know which mother to attach them to.
