Your posting is several years old, but thought I would reply anyway...I have only been working on this for about 6 months now and here is what I have found based on Revolutionary War files on John Peter Corn. I am a descendant of his oldest son Adam.
Genealogical Abstracts of Rev. War Pension Files by Virgil White:
Corn - John Peter, Elizabeth, W5885, VA Line soldier was born in Albermarle
Co., VA and was the son of Molley Corn. (His father wasn't named in the file).
Soldier enlisted in Albermarle Co., VA and the soldier lived in VA for 12 or 13
years after the Revolutionary War, then moved to Surry Co., NC for 5 years,
then moved to Wilkes Co., NC for 5 years, then moved to Buncombe Co., NC and
applied there on 16 Oct 1832. Soldier married Elizabeth Parr in Henry Co., VA
in May 1782 and she was born 14 June 1764. Soldier died 14 Oct 1843 in
Henderson Co., NC and widow applied 27 March 1844 in Henderson Co., NC and was
still there in 1849.
Widow died 16 March 1853, children were: ( names and birth dates mentioned
elsewhere). Three brothers of soldier were mentioned to wit: George, Samuel and
Jesse. Said Jesse served with soldier.
