Hi - My name is Brenda Kimble and I'm looking for information on my GGGGGGGrandparents -- George Kornegay and Mary Fisher. From the information I have, George Kornegay came over with the Palatines with his family -- who were all killed by the Indians except him. He married Mary Fisher around 1729 in Craven County, North Carolina. William Kornegay was born in 1736 and married Elizabeth Outlaw. I would appreciate any information on the Kornegay's, Fisher's, Outlaw's, and Whitfield's! Thanks for your time. Brenda Kimble dkimble@alaska.net www.alaska.net/~dkimble PO Box 1470 Valdez, AK 99686

Gayle - My records show a Fanny Ann Kornegay (no dates) born to David Kornegay (son of William Kornegay and Elizabeth Outlaw) and First Name Unknown (FNU) O'Daniel. The name Charity O'Daniel certainly does ring a bell though. I'll have to search some more through my stuff until I find it. Can't really help on the second question; obviosuly they were cousins but that covers a lot of terretory - especially in Duplin County!

That last one really came from me. My daughter keeps forgetting to change the defaults back to my name after she checks her e-mail. Jerry

Hello All - I like Sandy's idea that we all post our lineage here. I'm sure that collectively we have a wealth of information about the Kornegay family and that by sharing it in this forum, we'll all greatly benefit in the acquisition of the knowledge we so diligently seek. If we all do this, I believe that we will be able to piece the story together in a way that has never been done before. As an introduction, let me tell you a little bit about myself and my line of the Kornegay family. My mother was a Kornegay, and was born in Duplin County. Her father, Nicodemus (Nick) died in the flu epidemic in the winter of 1933, and she had limited contact with the rest of the existing family. We still try to go to the reunions, but that particular group of Kornegays only makes claim to being descendants of Daniel Kornegay (1819-1894) and his wife Martha Jane Dail (1826-1904). But I, of course, am interested in EVERYTHING about the family. I was born in Wayne County, NC but now live in Hampton, VA. Here's my lineage: 1. John George Kornegay (Sandy just shared what she had about him) 2. George Kornegay (dca 1700 - Nov 17, 1773) - see below 3. William Kornegay (unk - 1812) - his wife was Elizabeth Outlaw, I have a copy of her will. For those of us from this line, I have extensive info on the Outlaw family 4. Isaac Kornegay (1766 - 1838) - I have a transcript of a deed by which he gave land to his son Harget in 1832. Isaac's wife was Hester Harget; and for those of us that track from this line, we can trace back to one of the original Jamestown settlers Thomas Savage. 5. Harget Kornegay (1793 - 1875) - I found Harget's will in the Duplin County courthouse and transcribed it, also a deed by which he gave land to his son Daniel. In the 1860 Federal Census, Harget listed 11 slaves. His wife was Susanna Simmons, descendant of a Swiss family that came over to New Bern with the von Graffenreidt expedition. I traced her line way back into the late 1500's. 6. Daniel Kornegay (1819 - 1894) - I have a transcript of a deed by which he gave land to his son Nicodemus 7. Nicodemus Kornegay (1862 - 1933) - I have a transcript of a deed by which he gave land to his son Nick 8. Nick Kornegay (1899 - 1933) 9. Alice Kornegay (1932 - ) 10. Jerry Quinn (1951 - ) To get the information ball rolling, here's a transcript of George Kornegay's will. I'm sure that most of you have already seen this, but for any that haven't - read on! I'll post other stuff as requested. --------------------------------------------------------------> Copy of the original will of George Kornegay, dated 21 NOV 1773 proved 29 NOV 1773 North Carolina, Craven County IN THE NAME OF GOD - AMEN I, George Kornegay of the county and province aforesaid - Planter- being weak and low in body but sound in mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this life, do make and ordain and declare this my last will and testament in manner and form following.

It is my will that my sons John, Jacob, and George may be and are appointed my trustees and guardians for my two sons Daniel and Elijah and that they may bind them by Indentures to some Tradesman according to the best of their judgement and consent of my wife according to law. I lastly nominate and appoint my sons John, Jacob, and George Kornegay my Executors of this my last will and testament and do hereby utterly disallow, disannul, and make void all and every other will and legacies and bequests hertofore made and done, willed bequests satisfying and confirming this and no other to be my last will and testament.

Documents preserved in the British Museum Library, London, England, Board of Trade Misc., Vol. 2, Page 57. 6 May 1709 - A list of all the poor Germans lately come over from the Palatinate (Rhine River area) into this Kingdom Tolsen in St. Catharines.(1) Hornigh (Kornegay now) - John George, age 38 years, (his) wife (no age), sons (2) 8 and 2 years old, daughters (2) 12 and 10 years old. Member - Reformed Church. Husbandman and Winedresser. Sailed for America in Jan. 1710 with a group sponsored by Baron Christopher De Graffenreid and settled in Craven County, N.C., near the present city of New Bern. 9-22-1711 - the Tuscarorra Indians attacked and killed about 120 settlers - men, women and children. The only survivor of the Kornegay family was son George. N.C. State Archives - Craven County Court Minutes, 1712-1713. Aug. 1713 - Disposition of Orphans. Jacob Miller (or Muller) took into his care two orphans and promised to teach them to read and write and take care of them until 21 years of age and to have them taught a carpenters trade. These orphans were George Kornegay and George Koonce. (George Koonce, Craven County Will, Prob. CA. 1772). I choose to believe that George Kornegay was the oldest son, which might have contributed to his survival. Therefore, I have assigned CA 1700 as his birth year. Note: it was during this same massacre that Charles Cogdell and my ancestor, George Cogdell lost their father. I have no known Kornegay lineage. [J.M.O.]. Source: Kornegay History 1710-1986, Wayne County, N.C., Public Library, File No. LH Kornegay, and also my personal research. The above is from the book John George Kornegay 1670-1711, The Palatine Immigrant by John Martin Oates, Jr.

My name is Sheila Lawrence and am a descendant of George Kornegay 1st from Duplin County in North Carolina, who arrived in 1709 and am looking for other who are looking for the same family tree. Please email me at prozak0304@aol.com Thank you for your time. Looking forward to hearing from you. Sheila Lawrence

Good morning everyone! My name is Sandra Kornegay Rhodes and I am the list-owner for the Kornegay list. This list is brand new and doesn't have a lot of traffic. I would guess it is because the Kornegay name is somewhat rare. Since I've been on the internet I have come into contact with a number of people who are researching the Kornegay name. One of these persons (a member on this list) put me in contact with a man who had published a book titled "John George Kornegay". There were only five left when I bought mine and now they are all gone. He doesn't plan to make another printing. He did tell a cousin of mine that I could copy information from the book. Jerry that is where I got the information of the beginning of the Kornegays in America. I had found similar information in the Houston Genealogical Library but this book has some dates. I invite everyone to post their line if they know it. Mine goes: 1. John George Kornegay 1. John George Kornegay 2. George Kornegay 2. George Kornegay 3. Jacob Kornegay 3. George Jr. 4. John Kornegay 4. Civil Kornegay 5. Miller Kornegay 5. Miller Kornegay 6. John Ward Kornegay 6. John Ward Kornegay 7. William Alfred Kornegay 7. William Alfred Kornegay 8. William Houston Kornegay 8. William Houston Kornegay 9. Sandra Kornegay Rhodes 9. Sandra Kornegay Rhodes John and Civil (there are various spellings for this name) were cousins. If anyone has any information to share with us please do whether you are a descendant or not. This list is open to everyone and we are hungry for information. Sandy Rhodes

Jerry, The Kornegay lines can be very confusing. John George was the Palatine immigrant who came to America in 1710 with his wife and four children. He and his family were killed by the Tuscarorra Indians with the exception of George who was taken captive in 1711. George had 9 sons and 1 daughter. I am a descendant of his sons George Jr. and Jacob. Where does your line come in? I live in East Texas. My parents moved to Texas in the 1920's from Arkansas. My father William Houston K. was born in Ar. My line goes like this: 1. Sandra Kornegay Rhodes 2. William Houston Kornegay 3. William Alfred Kornegay 4. John Ward Kornegay 5. Miller Kornegay 6. John Kornegay - B. 1760 7. Jacob Kornegay - 1734-1796 8. George Kornegay - ca 1700-1773 9. John George Kornegay - 1670-1711 Civil daughter of George Jr. married her first cousin 4. John Kornegay so the other line looks like this: John George Kornegay George Kornegay George Kornegay Jr. Civil Kornegay Miller Kornegay John Ward Kornegay William Alfred Kornegay William Houston Kornegay Sandra Kornegay Rhodes
