I know that there are "bread makers" for sale and I have used a couple in the past. My question is ---!
Answers: Have you ever seen or do you know about a machine that will make Southern Corn Bread?
let me think a cast iron skillet and an oven is the most hi tech way of doing it
Southern cornbread is not made like bread in a bread machine. Corn bread neither rises by yeast, nor is it kneaded.

It doesn't need proofed, so you wouldn't use a breadmaker for it anyway, it's the same process as cake batter.
Yes, you can make cornbread in "some" bread machines. My bread maker has a quick bread setting and can handle recipes such as cornbread, banana nut bread, pumpkin bread etc. But why would anyone want to do that? I promise you it's just a marketing gimmick.
If your problem is that you don't have an oven, you can bake corn bread in most toaster ovens. Works fine, I've done it. Just make sure your pan will fit.
