The Children of William Korns
William Korns was the youngest child of Michael Korn, Sr. of Southampton Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. See the the William Korns chapter of the 1949 book "The Genealogy of Michael Korns, Sr. of Somerset County Pennsylvania ".

The following excerpt from the 1861 "Sectional & topographical map of Holmes County, Ohio" shows a W. Korn property in Hardy Township that adjoins a C. Korn property in Monroe Township. I suspect these are the properties of William and Charles Korn, sons of Michael Korn, Sr. of Southampton Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. There is also a W. Korn tract in Monroe Township that adjoins two C. Korn tracts.
