- Name: Erin (Cornett) CANUTE Sex: M Birth: 1675 in Northumberland, England Death: 1700 Note:
First (Cornett) Conute in the US Line that migrated to America and settled in Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. He is said to be a descendent of King Canute and Emma, and that may well be, since he was in the same general area that King Canute was buried.
However, there is no factual proof that the relationship existed; I have only included Canute's li ne back are far as possible to establish a base if a connection is ever made. Erin is not the son of Hardi, there are many, many generations between the Hardi's family and Erin. Perhaps someone someday can fill in the gap.
Erin was a sheep hearder.

- Origin of the Cornett Surname
The Cornett surname is of Old Breton-French, and originated in Brittany a peninsula in the NW region of France between the English Channel & the Bay of Biscay.
Cornett is derived from the Celtic language of Bretons of truly ancient ancestry. Breton bearers of the Cornett name were among the Norman French who invaded England in 1066, and they later went on to invade and settle in Ireland in the 12th Century. This Cornett surname had also been borrowed by Vikings, who introduced it independently in North West England, Scotland, & Wales. In the modern idiom the name can be found as Cornut, Corne, Corney, Cornie, Corney, Cornhay, Cawney, Cawny, Corn, Cornah, and Cornall.
The Danish-England King had no connection with the Cornett blood line. Such notion is a fantasy.
