Cordelia was the daughter of Hardy Cornett and Adeline Spence. She was the niece of Jesse Fleming's wife Millicent Cornett. Joseph Cornett, father of Millicent and Hardy, was a pioneer of Harris County.

The family descends from George Cornett of Sussex County, Virginia. The Cornetts also connect to my mother's family -- Moses Cornett, brother of Millicent and Hardy, married Atlanta Hopkins, step-sister of Hester Ann Perkins. Hardy Cornett is listed as a grocery keeper in the 1860 Harris Co. (Hamilton) Census. His store was burned by Union troops on 18 April 1865.
