Notes for Joseph Clinton CORNETT


In the 1930 census Joe Cornett and his wife Violet (Winter) were enumerated as
a separtate family in the same household with her mother Allie and stepfather,
Payne Wilkereson.  Violet's brother Dee was reported in the household of his
mother and stepfather.  Violet and her husband Joesph Clinton Cornett moved to
California after the birth of Doris in Oklahoma in 1929.

The reported age of Violet at marriage does not match the reported as of her
daughter Betty Jo as 4 years and 2 months.  That would put Betty Jo's birth
before the marriage date.  With Joe's reported age at marriage, it would still
be a year before the marriage.  Ages and reported ages at marriage are off.
