Hi Ruth, My Simmons line is connected to John Simmons of Wake Co., NC & his wife, Dianah Herbert of VA. We have gone back 3 more generations to Norfolk Co., VA. This particular couple were born about 1710 give or take 10 years. That Simmons line first went to GA before showing up in MS too where it connected to our Duncan line, going to Sabine Co., LA, and then into San Augustine Co., TX by the late 1870s. Peggy Hill of *Prodigy is the biggest compiler of Simmons data in this country that I know and that most Simmons people contact her and get answers from because we have all been sending her info over the past 10 years. She has helped many, many people with their lines. She actually helped me find 9 more generations to my line which turned out to also be her husbands; that helped a lot. This is the Southern Simmons' lines. She has some info on the Northern Simmons lines, but not as much. She also has a vast amount of info on the VA, NC & GA Simmons families. Sue in CA

I'll bet Robert can give us a more complete etymology, but as I recall, "berger" is a common appendage to German names. "Berg" is a mountain (or hill). Anyone living on one (and there are plenty of mountains and hills in Germany) might have been call a "berger", and more specifically by adding the name of the mountain or area. The translation of "Koeningsberger" would be "Kings Mountainer" Or the "berger" found on the end of your subject might be an American spelling corruption of "Bürger" which means "citizen". It is pronounced almost the same as "berger" and might easily have been changed to that spelling here. Matt

Hi Margerite, My line is through Capt Jacob Kornegay then his daughter Anna Civil Kornegay who married William Dunkan & later John Flowers. My Duncan line eventually wound up in MS and married in the Simmons line there before going to TX where it connected to my Mitchell line which connected to my Bailey line. My mother was a Bailey born in TX. Sue in CA

Hi Ruth, Very interesting message. Do you know which George served at Moore's Creek Bridge?

Ruth, I'll toss in one too, I found a marriage listing for one of my line here in MS and it was spelled Carnegie. Another tidbit for thought; I was doing some research on my ex-husbands line the Lawrence's and Ezell's and his uncles name is "Koeingsberger" and is pronounced can-ix-berger. Some where I was reading about german naming patterns that "berger" on the end of a name was like stating an occupation or something like that, so if you take the "berger" off the name, it is Koeings. This is one way of spelling Kornegay. All I know is his family is from Wisconscin. As soon as I get back on friendly terms with my ex-in-laws, I'll find out more. Sometimes, I wonder if we will ever find out the original spelling. Sheila

I have a copy of "The Patriots at Moores Creek Bridge" in it is listed the following: KERNAGY (HERNEGAY), GEORGE KERNAGY, JACOB just another way of spelling something else to search for ruth

Sue, The other three graves are children of Sarah A. (Roberts) and John A. Kornegay. I checked for sure the 1870 census of Wayne County. NC; Indian Springs Township. John A. K. was son of George Fisher Kornegay, and Sarah Glisson Kornegay. Sarah A. Roberts' father was John Roberts. Other children listed in this census, are: Name age Leonadis 24 in a later census, he was living with Susan Margaret. and husband David Cameron. George B. 14 Sarah A. 13 I do not know where John A. Kornegay, husband of Sarah Roberts K. is buried.. It is possible that one of the wooden markers was his. Marguerite PS.

Hi Margerite, Who are the other 3 people buried with Sarah Roberts-Kornegay. They were all born close enough to have been brothers or sisters. What family do they belong to? Thanks. Sue in CA

Matt, I'll admit that the message was not as clear as it should have been. George Fisher Kornegay married Sara Glisson,dau of Sarah Herring and Daniel Glisson. George Fisher died first. The will in question was made by Sarah (Glisson) Kornegay, Geo Fisher's widow. In Sarah (Glisson ) K.'s will, Sarah A.( Roberts) Kornegay was listed as a daughter. But, she was the widow of John A. Kornegay, son of George Fisher Kornegay and Sarah (Glisson) Kornegay. Whoever wrote the will made an error in distinction. This is not the first time that this has happened, and probably will not be the last time. The cemetery I described, contains the grave of Sarah A. (Roberts). Kornegay, my GGGrandmother, and also of her daughter, Susan Margaret (Kornegay) Cameron,my GGrandmother, who married David (Dave) Cameron. Dave Cameron is buried with their daughter Annie Omelia Cameron Hill, (who married Arthur Martin Hill.),in the family cemetery in Calypso. Duplin Co, NC. Hope this clears things up, and I'm sorry for any confusion. Thanks again for allowing me to clear this up. PS. I checked the land division of her father, John Robert's land, and Sarah was NOT married at that time, so disregard what I said about it proving her marriage. This is recorded in the land division in the court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions ,4 March,1842, Wayne Co.

Ruth, I tried sending the directions to the cemetery in question last night. Don't know whether they went through or not, so am repeating. Leaving Goldsboro ,NC on Hwy 70, going toward Kinston,NC turn Rt. on Hwy 111. Proceed to Hwy 55 and turn right. Then go until you reach SR 1948, turn right, and proceed 2.9 miles. Cemetery is in the edge of the woods directly off the road, at the entrance of "Double D Stables". When I visited the cemetery, there were some wooden markers lying on the ground. This cemetery also lies between SR 1744 and SR 1745 in Indian Springs Township, Wayne County, NC. Buried there (with stones) are: Sarah A. wife of J. Kornegay b. 22 Dec. 1819 d. 5 March 1888 Susan M. Wife of D.A. Cameron b. 13 Nov. 1848 d. 16 March 1894 Gideon R. Kornegay b. 19 Feb. 1860 d. 13 July 1907 Joseph H. Kornegay b. 11 April 1844 d. 25 Oct. 1913 John A.
