I have come across this in a book called 'Cape Fear' I don't have the author's name but can find it if need to. Thanks to him/her this sheds light into our ancestors lives on that fatal day. I hope the author does not get mad at me for this. It is being offered free of charge with the heartfelt thanks of the Kornegay clan (at least my heartfelt thnaks). on pg 22 the following was written: The New Bern colony on the Nuese River had cheated the indians in trade and had taken game, ammunition, and arms away from them. The Indians had saved up their resentments until one September morning in 1711 when five hundred braves in small bands drifted into New Bern, pretending friendly errands. Within two hours of the signal for attack they slaughtered 130 settlers. Infants they swung against trees. Stakes were driven through women's bodies. In one account, the pillage is so unlike Indian warfare as to suggest a renegade white among them. Says Samuel A'Court Ashe: Bodies were fancifully arrayed by the savages in their wild and merry glee. Mr. Nevill, an old gentleman, was laid on the floor with a clean pillow beneath his head, which was ornamented with his wife's headdress, while Mrs. Nevill was set upon her knees in the chimney corner, her hands lifted up as though in prayer; and a son was laid out in the yard with a pillow under his head and a bunch of rosemary at his nose. Then on pg 31 the following: Warfare among the whites suggested to the unhappy indians that a good time had arrived--perhaps the best and last opportunity ever--to rid their country of the invaders. Tuscarora Indians, who occupied much of the coastal plain, arose quickly and on September 22, 1711, began three daysof slaughter that came very close to wiping out the whole colony. Men, women, and children fell indiscriminately beneath their bloody axes. The town of Bath and the old Albemarle area excaped only because a friendly Tuscarora chief in that part of the colony refused to join the fight.

Am wondering if anyone has information on Sarah Ann E. Kornegay who married Thomas J. Monroe. Be most grateful for any information on this. Have been reading the post about the illnesses and you are all in my prayer. Also, about the fire, Prayers have been going up for the whole city. Thanks, Donna

Thanks Mat for identifying James F. KORNEGAY who m. Margaret KORNEGAY. I didn't have any children listed for David and Zilpha OLIVER. I checked my notes on Richard Bryant TAYLOR who m. Margaret "Peggie" KORNEGAY and found that Richard is the s/o Penelope Simmons (dau of Daniel SIMMONS II and Penalope HARGETT) and Green TAYLOR b. 1794 of Lenior Co NC. Green & Penalope were married ca 1820/21 and both buried at Taylor's Bridge. Richard Bryant TAYLOR was a Confederate Soldier in Whitford's Reg. Pat Hoffman

Hi Kornegay kin! I'll try this again. I wrote it this morning and didn't save before I finished - Guess what - I lost it. So here goes. This is the miracle - you can read about it at: http://www.gopbi.com/yourtown/royalpalmbeach/000310.htm I saw Leland yesterday at his grandmother's house - which happens to be the house that Daniel Kornegay built. ( Daniel raised his family in this house as did his son Wooten - and now Carl - (Wooten's son) and Thelma Kornegay are living in the same house. Paul & I lived in this house the year we got married - we were tenant farmers at that time -) But getting back to Leland - seeing him yesterday - you could not tell what he has been through for the past 28 years and especially for the past 2 months. He is very outgoing- very pleasing to be around and just loves to joke He made a talk at our church -before surgery-and told us that he would live no matter what happen to him - that if he left this world that he would go and live with Christ. May prayers went out for Leland and Melissa - Judi and Carlyle during all this past 2 months and the Lord has surely blessed everyone. Since surgery - he has encourage many people that he (has that was awaiting surgery. We all know that the Lord is not through with Leland that he has much more work to do here on earth. We get up in the mornings after a good nights rest and don't take time to thank the Lord for us being able to take a good deep breath - but Leland had never had a good deep breath unitl he was 28 years old and had double lung transplants. He is certainly a walking miracle. Leland is a descendent of the Kornegay family that goes like this Leland Carlyle Herring, II (m) Melissa Lee Noble Marion Carlyle Herring (m) Judi Kornegay (Leland's parents) Carl Kornegay (m) Thelma Kornegay (Judi's parents) Wooten Kornegay (m) Lola E. Smith (Carl's parents) Daniel Kornegay (m) Margaret Ann Dail (Wooten's parents) Thelma Kornegay (m) Carl Kornegay (see above) Ransom Kornegay (m) Blanche Smith (Thelma's parents) Nichodemus Kornegay (m) Alice Goodson (Ransom's parents) Daniel Kornegay (m) Margaret Ann Dail (Nichodemus's parents) Daniel's parents were Hargett and Susanna Simmons Kornegay Hope this will help Ruth

Hello, Perhaps there are others who are using the PAF 3.0 program, if so, I need help. I installed my program in MS-DOS and now when I try to print out lists it says my printer is not designated, but I don't see anywhere on the MS-DOS task bar where it will allow me to make changes, corrections, etc? Any help is appreciated. Gayle

Barbara where do you live. I haven't heard anything from Fla since early this morning. But the wind had shifted and my granddaughter went back to her home. However, she left her two children with her mother (my daughter) because both children have asthma and didn't need to be in all the smoke. I tried to get up with her this morning -and couldn't- however I left her a message on the answering machine - to get a u-haul and get her belongs away from there until the fire is out. She doesn't have any insurance. Hope everything works out for the best. Ruth At 09:08 AM 6/18/1998 EDT, you wrote: >HI THIS IS BARBARA. YES THE FIRES ARE VERY BAD.

In a message dated 6/18/98 6:58:00 PM, you wrote: <<Who is James F. KORNEGAY who married Margaret KORNEGAY 20 Feb 1847>> He is the son of David Kornegay and Zilphia Oliver. This David is the son of George Kornegay Jr. and Margaret (Lullum) Downing.

Ruth: Since I am new to the list, I guess that I missed your Cemetery information. I really appreciate your posting those Bible Records from Isaac and Hester KORNEGAY. I had most of the births but was able to add a lot to my files. In the 60's I sharred Genealogy with Marion Shannon of Belzoina, MS. Her husband was desc. from Isler KORNEGAY and her sister-in-law had that Bible. Isler's son Isaac "Ike" KORNEGAY married Francis P.E. NOBLIN in Oktibbeha Co MS, she was the sister of Thomas Richard NOBLIN who married Martha Rebecca KORNEGAY my Great Grandparents. So we had two lines to work on. Any way. My data has: Lewis William KORNEGAY (s/o Issac & Hester) marrying 13 April 1830 to Sarah KEATON. I wondered if the Elizabeth WOOTEN could be dau of Ester (ALDRIGE) WOOTEN The ones that I did not know where to put were: Anna GREEN d. Dec 7th 1880 Mary EMAL d. Jan 5th 1787 Caty KORNEGAY d. Dec 20th 1828 Zilphia OUTLAW Aug 24th 1818 Also does anyone know who Elizabeth KORNEGAY who married George KORNEGAY III 2 Aug 1783 is (what family) I have 14 or 15 Daniel's but don't know who Daniel K. KORNEGAY who married Elizabeth OLIVER 5 Jan 1850 is. Who is James F. KORNEGAY who married Margaret KORNEGAY 20 Feb 1847 D.R. KORNEGAY who married Mezetta KING Dr. Lemual Weyer KORNEGAY Aaron ARNOLD who married Mary KORNEGAY 28 Nov 1785 Can anyone fill in these holes? Pat Hoffman

MOST OF THE FIRES ARE UNDER CONTROL. WHERE IN JAX. DOEDS SHE LIVE? I LIVE ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE. WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY FIRES CLOSE BY.

HI THIS IS BARBARA. YES THE FIRES ARE VERY BAD. I LIVE A LONG WAY FROM THEM AND WE HAD ASHES ALL OVER. THE HEAT HERE IS TERRIBLE. I THINK THE WORSE IS OVER ABOUT THE FIRES. I GUESS WE'LL SEE. GOOD LUCK FOR YOUR DAUGHTER.

Hi Ruth, I don't right off hand. You may want to contact the NIH in Washington, DC (your taxes pay for them) they research many various diseases and if they are not they can put you in touch with those who are doing research. The NIH has a web site I believe. If you have yahoo do a search for NIH and do a search for the disease. In our family on my Mom's side of the family there is also Lupus. Both kinds: Discoid and SLE. These are auto immune diseases. I hope the best for you Ruth. Everyday medical science makes advancements with new and better treatments. Keep the faith.

Sandy, Thank you for sharing words with me about Dee Dee. We are never prepared when our children are in harm's way. I give my Mom much credit for Dee Dee's extended life. My Mom is a nurse. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter. How old is she? They say FAA is an auto recessive gene disease. Much as the same principle as Cystic Fibrosis. You know the Whitfield, O'GRADY's, O'Daniel's were of Irish heritage.. Ralf Dietrich who lives in Germany and who Mom and met with in Washington, DC represents 45 German families with FAA Families intermarry there so most probably that is what happens with some of these illnesses. We have another auto immune disease---Lupus. This is on Mom's side of the family: Her two sister each having a different type lupus: discoid and SLE. Medical science can do a lot but not everything. Does the medication help with your daughter? Is she able to live a relatively normal life except for the diet restrictions? I wish her well. The Saturday Evening Post I believe has topics on the illness you mentioned. Is your daughter in a research program to help learn the cause and to help find a cure? The NIH in Washington, DC does lots of studies for various diseases. Sandy, I hope for the best for your daughter. Take care and again thank you for sharing. Gayle W.

I know that William Benjamin Tucker moved from Calvert County, Maryland to St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1851. I have an excellent wealth of newspaper articles and documentation from that point on, but have had no luck tracing him backwards. I have no knowledge of his parents' names. Calvert County has no data to research as their courthouse burned in 1889, there was no newspaper in the early to mid 1800s in the county and no organized churches. Any suggestions on where to search now? BTW, my family was not one for saving family heirlooms, not even pictures, a family bible or trinkets...so I have nothing to go on from them. DearCHERYL, Gosh, I feel so close to you with my PG, Anne Arundel and Howard County ancestors! Let's see what "Ancestry's Red Book: American State, County and Town Sources" has to say on the subject: >From the table listing details of St. Mary's County: Circuit Court PO Box 308 Leonardtown, MD 20650-0308 Orphans Court PO Box 602 Leonardtown, MD 20650-0602 Records began: 1658. St. Mary's County, MD was created in 1637. (That certainly predates my Christopher Gist in 1679 of the Baltimore County region!) The most encouraging news is a special notation that while "the courthouse was destroyed by fire in 1831. Some deeds were re-recorded back to 1781, and abstracts of deeds sent to Annapolis beginning in 1784 also make up for some of the records that were destroyed." This important fact is often overlooked by genealogists. You have to believe that the day after the fire, folks were lined up to reconstruct the land records. This was a matter of rights to ownership, and I am sure there were many anxious folks until the disputes got settled! "Newspapers in Maryland Libraries: A Union List," by Eleanor O. Hofstetter and M. S. Eustis may provide further insight to old publications housed in the Maryland State Archives. Additionally, several newspaper abstract books are listed on pages 294-295 in the Red Book. Have you checked PERSI (Periodical Source Index) for your ancestor's name, and for information on St. Mary's County Maryland? It's available in book format at larger public libraries, and is also found on CD-ROM and in searchable format to subscribers at Ancestry.com <http://www.ancestry.com>. In a global search of Ancestry's databases regarding William Tucker in Maryland, I found about a thousand hits, without refining the search. However, I browsed the 16 hits in PERSI for your ancestor. There was an interesting entry for the Norfolk/Tucker Family Bible 1821-1841 Calvert County. There was another on the Tucker Family of Calvert County, MD and a third about the Tucker/Drury family of Maryland and Missouri. When asking for more details on the bible index entry, PERSI provided me with the following details. Norfolk/Tucker Family Bible 1821-1841 Volume 4, Issue 10, January 1990. Periodical Title: Calvert County Maryland Genealogy Newsletter General Subject Area: U.S. Topics: MD Notes: v.1-2n.3--Calvert Co. Gen. Newsletter ACPL Holdings: v.1-1986- ACPL Call Number: OPEN ISSN Number: 0895-8939 Other repositories holding this title include: Allen County Public Library, Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton Co. (partial holdings) Publisher: Calvert County Genealogy Society Publisher Address: POB 9 Publisher City: Sunderland Publisher State: MD Publisher Zip: 20689-0009 Subscription Price: 12.00 PERSI Code: MDCV This means you may write to the Allen County Public Library or the publisher, The Calvert County Genealogical Society, for a copy of the magazine article! Here's hoping the writer provided a well-documented summary! Additionally, I recommend looking at printed indexes to wills which have been published for both St. Mary's and Calvert Counties. A further notation from the "Red Book" states: "While some records are available in the counties, most original and/or microfilm copies of land, estate, vital and court records have been transferred to the Maryland State Archives. As new county records are created, they will continue to be filmed and sent to the state archives." Also consider what federal records may have been created, such as 1812 pensions which come to light about 1878 or so. Don't give up!

I have heard of genealogist that in doing research have also researched what kind of disease their ancestors had and keep a record of the information to take to their doctor if there was any complications in their family. I have scleroderma and I don't know if it ever affected any of my descendents or not - but it's something that little is know of. I have had to have my esophagus dilated twice and my skin is tightening and it is affecting mt hands and feet now I'm having problems with my blood count. I've been lucky though. I have had the slow acting kind for the past - but it seems to be catching up. But at my age I guess it's time. Do you know of any one with scleroderma, if you do I would like to discuss with them what the doctors are doing for them.

Gayle, I am so sorry to hear of your daughter's death. My oldest daughter has celiac sprue disease. I had never heard of it but it is becoming more common. I would assume it is inherited. Her knees and elbows were breaking out so I took her to several dermatologists before finding it to be dermatitus herpetaformus. The doctor tried to control it with pills, she takes Dapson, a medicine for leprosy. She also has to watch her diet, no wheat, oats, rye, or barley.

No distilled vinegar, no catsup, mayonaise, mustard, etc. I have read that a large population of Ireland has this disease. I have often thought that ancestors could have had this disease and died not knowing what caused the death or calling it something else. Sandy

Hi! My granddaughter called me from Jacksonville, Fla tonight and she had 15 minutes to get her 2 small children and get out of the area. The fire was about 2 miles from her this morning and tonight when she got home from work she had to leave. She is alone with the 2 children and now by morning - probably no home to go to. So all she had a chance to do was to get her children and a hand full of pictures and go. Her mother lives on the other side of Jacksonville and she (her mother) said this morning that there was cinders all over her car when she went out. Just thought I'd let you know how serious it is in that area. Ruth
