About Matilda Elizabeth Cornett

What is interesting about the 1850 Census for "Mitilda" Austin is that all the other siblings were born in Delaware, but she is listed as possibly born in Virginia ("V?"). Since her birth year is also the same as Andrew J. Austin, it may be that her biological parents had died and her parents were related to the 'heads of household' noted in that census (Jefse & Margaret Austin).
