The Grandparents and Great-Grandparents of James Winton Rhudy


Grayson County, Virginia



In the book, Pioneer Settlers of Grayson County, Virginia, by Benjamin Floyd Nuckolls, he talks about the grandparents and great-grandparents of James Winton Rhudy. He explains that William Cornett Senior and Jennie Sutherland and their children settled on Elk Creek in Grayson County, Virginia. "William Cornett, in the early days, built a mill for grinding grain, also a saw mill, and a carding machine for carding wool. These mills were on the banks of Elk Creek, and were used by the settlers for many miles around."[1]
