Sue, Just wanted to see if this information connects with what you have for Luke WARD, sR. Edgecomb County, NC ca. 1838 his will in the state archives WB-F/234 according to Thornton Mitchell's n.c Willis: a testator index.

Hi Matt, Thanks for all that info you gave a while ago on Ransom & Thelma Kornegay. Sue in CA

Robert, Did you get the piece of email I forwarded about a possible lead in the Kornegay search? I'll send it again, just in case. Let me know if you get it. Sheila

Carl Kornegay married Thelma Kornegay (dau. of Ransom Kornegay and Blanche Smith) and had one known child: Judi who married Marion Carlyle Herring and had one known son: Leland Carlyle Herring who married Melissa Lee Noble. Sorry, no dates on any of them. Nicodemus' middle name was Daniel. He married Alice Goodson and had two known sons: Ransom and Nicodemus Daniel Jr. This is the same Ransom that married Blanche Smith.

She married Richard Bryant Taylor whose birth date is 15 Mar 1821, death Aug 1899. Matt

Robert, will get back to you as soon as I can. Have a lot going on here right now. Family stuff. It is ironic that Eddie's and my dad is also an Edward Kornegay...small world. By the way, did she say what origin the name was from? thought maybe if she knew it wasn't German, then maybe she knew of another...guess not or you would have said....still a mystery.

Donna, Could you brief me on your Swiss research? Where did you hit deadends? I'm heading back to Bern this week for another session with the church records and would appreciate any insights you may have gained over the years. I sent letters (in German) earlier this year to the four KORNEGAYs in the German phonebook CD and received a response from only one. She confirmed the Kornegay spelling is not of German origin and that her husband is an Edward Kornegay from LaGrange.

Gayle Licari wrote: > > Just wondering if anyone has considered if KORNEGAY is of Swiss > Heritage. Gayle, at this point of the game, we don't need to disqualify any origin. We have certainly come to a dead end here. When you come to a dead end, you need to consider other options. Eddie Lynn and I have been searching Switzerland for quite some time, we have found nothing though. One lady I talked with said that she knew someone with the name Kornegay and the Lady told her it was of Scottish Origin. Truth/fiction I don't know. Another one told me it could be Welsh. It will be found, don't know when or where but I know that when itis found, the whole of cypberspace will probable be abuzz with the news. Have contacted someone who gave me Kornegay names in Germany(4). Am waiting for a reply from them by snail mail. Keep up the good hunting! Donna

Now: hope you can help with this. I have found copy of bible records that I don't have any idea who they belong to.: Mittie Kornegay Giles Kornegay Junior Kornegay Nellie Kornegay Roscoe Kornegay John Kornegay Catherine Kornegay May Kornegay I think they all belong to the same family they were all born between 1875 and 1892. Hope you can help Ruth

Barbara Green Justice > > ==== KORNEGAY Mailing List ==== Barbara, Thanks for the inquiry about my family in Wayne County, NC. Records seem to indicate my line is thru George I, Jacob, Martin, John, Caleb F. R., Robert Lee, Ralph Lee, Robert Lee (me). I do not recognize the name Wallace and Verle Kornegay, however, I moved to the coast of NC when I was a teenager and didn't pay too much attention to the branches of my family until recently. About two years ago I began to research my line when I was transferred to Switzerland. I have been concentrating on the origin of the KORNEGAY name while in Europe and will resume my eastern NC research next year. My wife and I return to our home near Swansboro in December for a one-year furlough after nearly 8 years of missionary service in Africa, Central America and Europe.

Ruth, Is Margaret sometimes labeled as Peggy, dau of Hargett Kornegay? Thanks. Sue in CA

Ruth, Do you have a BD for Laura Ann Kornegay, dau of Daniel Kornegay & Martha Ann Dail? Also do you have other children listed for them other than Laura and Nichodemus? Thanks. Sue in CA

Gayle, Yes, over the last 18 months I have pursued evidence in the pre-1800 church records of Bern Canton for the Gna:gi/Kornegay hypothesis. Official Swiss records indicate the Gna:gi name existed in only 5 villages in the Bieler Seeland region of the Bern Canton. I am working my way through the birth and marriage records of those villages for any reference to a Hansju:rg Gna:gi born in the early 1670's. My fear my effort is somewhat speculative since the John George name for George I's father is based on the St. Catherines Palatine refugee list of 1709 with a reference to a John George Hornigh (38), with a wife, two sons, and two daughters. Does anyone know of any research to verify that reference is indeed to the "alpha" Kornegay family? I think it is wise to continue to pursue the Konig/Kornegay hypothesis in Germany as well. I have sent your friend Ralf an e-mail however I have heard nothing in response. Please keep posting any information you come across for all to enjoy.
