WILLIAM CORN was born in Trimble County, Ky., ten miles southwest of
Carrollton, Carroll County, March 18, 1822.  His father, John Corn, was
born in Fayette County, Ky., in 1797, and his mother, Anna (Williams)
Corn, was born in Prince William County, Va., in 1790.  The father was
a farmer by occupation, was a stock driver for the troops in the war of
1812, but took an active part in one of the great battles of that war.
He settled in Trimble County in 1807, and there died October 19, 1864.
William Corn was reared to farming, and was educated in the ordinary
schools of his early youth.  As early as 1835 he was put to the flat
boating on the Ohio River, and in 1844 engaged in steamboating and flat
boating to New Orleans.  In 1850 he engaged in mercantile affairs, and
has continued therein ever since, with the exception of the years 1860
and 1861, when he was employed in boating.  In 1847 he married Miss
Dorcas Kelley, who died the following year, on September 4.  He remained
a widower until December 24, 1857, when he married Miss Mary E. Forsee,
a native of Owenton, Ky., and a daughter of WIlliam B. Forsee, a
Virginian.  To this last marriage have been born six children: Perry,
Williams, John, Addie, Joseph B. and George N.  Mr. Corn is a Royal
Arch Mason, and is much respected in the community in which he lives.
He has a farm of eighty acres lying partly in Trimble and partly in
Carroll Counties, and is proprietor of the National Hotel in Carrollton.
