McWhorter Cornett Evans help with will and clarify John or Jesse?

Question

Okay, I've narrowed down the Mary McWhorter that married John/Jesse Evans.  She was married to a Henry Cornett who died young, leaving her with a daughter.  Prior to my ending my association with Ancestry, I read a will of this Henry Cornett, and it was signed by Pigg's and Benges, if I recall right.  IF someone has a copy of this will and would add it to  cornett- 101 I would really appreciate it.  I am searching through my family tree files and can't find it, handy.   At this point, I am fairly certain that she will now be pulled in the  Pigg-McWhorter family.  Her mother being a Pigg I think.  It's coming together!  YAY!

Answer 1

There was a bond filed on January 3, 1853 in Clay County, Kentucky for the administration of the estate of Henry Cornett who died intestate which generally means he did not have a will.

The administatrix was Mary Cornett and the sureties were J.W. McWhorter and William Pigg.

Widow Mary Cornett married Edward Evans in Clay County, Kentucky on October 15, 1854 according to county records.

Thanks!  Yes, his name Edward sometimes looks like Edmunds, and it is his middle name, but Im not certain if he's a Jesse or a John.  But, you were a big help and this is just what I needed to keep the line moving.  Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!
