Pat, That is the name I have also but did have this in her note section and don't know where I saw or got this info on the Dickson family. Must have forgot to note the source as it isn't there. > "William Dickson, who came as a child with his parents in 1736, knew a different mixture of nationalities by the time he was old enough to become acquainted with Duplin. Since he was from an Ulster Scottish-English family, he tends to think the people here were all or at least mostly of that origin. There were 8 nationalitles here and they got along with each other very well, much to their credit. The land grant map reveals the dates of land acquisition, which is the most reliable information we have as to the settlement of the county in early times. I do not think there were any white settlers in what is now Duplin until 1718 0r 1720, after the Indian War." > Hope it helps. Sue in CA

Duplin County, NC - Court Records Source: General Assembly Session Records, November 1828-January 1829, Box 5. Petition for Reward for Murder of Abram KORNEGAY-1828 Duplin County Contributed by Grace Williamson TURNER Transcribed by Sloan Mason The Committee of Claims to whom was referred a Resolution instructing them to enquire into the expediency of allowing Bryan KORNEGAY and Henry KORNEGAY of Duplin County, three hundred dollars, for the apprehension of Joseph SOLLIS, who stood indicted in said County, for the murder of Abram KORNEGAY - have had the same under Consideration, and respectfully report - That the fact is as stated in the Resolution; but the Committee are of opinion, that in law, the parties in whose behalf this application is made are unquestionably not entitled to the remuneration, which they claim, nor do they believe that it is either expedient or politic to allow it. The Claimants had no right to look for it to the Legislative - the offer was voluntary on their part, and altho' their feelings, as Relations of the Murdered individual might have been more excited, yet they had no more authority to offer a reward in this case, than any other individual - It is made the duty of the Governor, when a criminal escapes, and flies beyond the pursuit of justice, to offer a reward for his apprehension - But this was not the case in this instance. From the relation in which the Citizen stands to Society, without any additional inducement it is his Duty to aid and assist in bringing to Justice the perpetrators of crimes - Allow, however, this application and the inevitable effect will be that but few men will move in an affair of this kind, until a sufficient inducement, by way of reward, is held out to them - Criminals, of course, will frequently escape, and there will be no end to applications to the Legislature similar to this. For these reasons, the Committee recommends the adoption of the following resolution - Resolved that it is inexpedient to grant the prayer of the Petitioners. Respectfully submitted. Thos. LOVE, Chm. Resolved that the Committee on Claims be instructed to enquire into the expediency of allowing Bryan KORNEGAY and Henry KORNEGAY of Duplin County the sum of three hundred dollars which they gave for the apprehension of one Joseph SOLLIS who Stood indicted in the said County for the murder of Abram KORNEGAY. Claims Resolution instructing the Com'e on Claims &c In the Senate Decem'r 29, 1828. Read and agreed to. By Order. J W CLARKE AG Mr. MILLER Report of the Com'e of Claims on the Resolution in favour of Bryan & Henry KORNEGAY. In Senate Decem'r 3, 1828.

Gayle: Thank you so much for sharing this great Bible with us. How I wish a Bible could be found on my branch of the family. I am still stuck for a maiden name for my Mary Anna------------- who married Wyatt Y. KORNEGAY in NC about 1838. No official marriage has been found, so they may have married in Wayne Co. So a Bible some where may be my only hope. Pat Hoffman

He may be my relative. Plus the James C. Williams and Lewis Outlaw and Edward Mazingo mentioned in the court document. See what elections will do for you. :-) There was an old well in Goldsboro and the story goes they would spike the well around election time. This was when they were moving the town from Old Waynesborough to present day Goldsboro. That is nothing they actually burned down the OLD DOBBS County courthouse...So apparently politics has always been a touchy spot with folks. Not a lot has changed since 1841-2000 at least they did not argue over chads...

Well, we are obviously looking for an Abraham KORNEGAY who was still living in 9 Dec1841 since this is when this court case was. I have 8 Abraham's in my files and that is probably not all of them by a long shot. Most of the ones I have can be ruled out due to being dead by that time. 1. KORNEGAY, Abraham b. 1 Jan 1795-d bef 1835 s/o Isaac 2. Abraham b. ab 1782-d by 2 Aug 1826 wife Ann TURNAGE s/o Jacob & Mary WARD KORNEGAY 3. Abraham b. ca 1746/1754-d. bef Mar 1810 s/o George I and Mary FISHER KORNEGAY 4. Abraham b. ca 1800 wife Susan GRADY; s/o William II and Charlotte DANIEL KORNEGAY 5 Abraham Bryan (Brian) b. 9 Jan 1795-d. 22 Jun 1795 s/o Isaac and Hester HARGETT KORNEGAY 6. Abraham b. 1808 wives (1) Ann Jane CHAMBERS (2) Lucy Jane CHURCHWELL; s/o George Fisher &Sarah "Sally" GLISSON 7 Abraham Grady KORNEGAY b. ab 1835; s/o Abraham & Susan GRADY KORNEGAY 8. Abraham (minor 1790) d. by Nov 1811 s/o John KORNEGAY & Rachel MATTHEWS Does anyone have more Abrahams to add or different data? Pat Hoffman

I have Abraham, son of Isaac Kornegay (they got that backwards from the biblical duo, didn't they) and Hester Hargett as born 9 Jan 1795 and died 22 June 1795. I have, as would be expected for someone that only lived 6 months, no wife or other data. ----- Original Message ----- From: "albertjustice" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2001 6:26 PM Subject: Re: [KORNEGAY-L] Abram Kornegay > I looked but every time it says he died the same year he was born in 1795. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Ruth R.

Yes, Barbara, I did enjoy that post. Human nature doesn't seem to change over the centuries. Pat, I have no idea which Abram Kornegay this is. Unfortunately, so far I have only worked on my direct ancestors. Making contact with the submitter to the Duplin County Archives might help even though he was not the contributor.
