    1. [KORNEGAY-L] George Kornegay and Lela Pickering
    2. Glitz
    3. This just came from my cousin and this is about a Northern Kornegay I think. I told them I would ask on the list if anyone knew about him. Thanks Glitz Just wondering, in our Pickering Family History we have a George Kornegay that married a Lela Ardella Pickering on June 27, 1909. Do you suppose that is any distant relation of Sue's? That is a fairly unusual name? Lela was born June 21, 1887.

    1. [KORNEGAY-L] a curious question
    2. Glitz
    3. We just lost our favorite Kornegay Aunt this week. Her maiden name was Kornegay. She lived in Baytown Tx. Anyway during the service they kept referring to her as Connie. Well that was not her name it was Lena Mae. But I know she got the name from her last name Kornegay. As did her other two sisters. Each of them (all three) were given then nickname of Connie by their friends. Do any of the rest of you female cousins go by that? or have any relatives that go by Connie because of our Kornegay name? Just curious? Glitz

Thanks Glitz >> First of all, I would like to thank those cousins who extended sympathy to me at the loss of my husband. All of your notes were appreciated. This has been a difficult time for me but I am trying to get back to my genealogy little by little. Glitz: About the only thing I know about Jacob MILLER (MUELLER) is from a speech made by Dr. Collier Cobb of the university of NC, who spoke at a meeting of the Society of Descendants of the Palentines, held Oct 9, 1929 at Kinston, NC After giving a brief history of the Palatinate he was speaking of John Martin FRANCKE who was suppose to go to Boston to Cotton MATHER, but while in London waiting to set sail for New England he fell in love with a poor Palantine girl Sevil MILLER (MULLER) and went to New Bern, NC instead. "Sevil was the daughter of Jacob and Katherine MULLER, who came with their children to New Bern from the Palatinate in 1710. " Dr. Cobb goes on to tell about FRANKE, the surveyor and adds, " He was almost; immediately elected a member of the General Assembly in 1712 and returned to New Bern as Justice of the Peace. His sons took wives from the best that the colony afforded; and his wive's brothers, the MULLER, Jacob, John and Phillip, have also had an honorable part in building up this and other states" Another, brief history that I have on the KORNEGAY Family, author unknown, says that Jacob MULLER was a Swiss school master and a Justice of the peace at New Bern. Said he has grown sons and his near neighbors helped him to put up a fight and drove the Indians off his place. (I assume this is when the KORNEGAYS were killed by the Indians.) It also tells about Jacob MULLER having George KORNEGAY and George KOONCE "the sole survivor of the Swiss KOONCE family" bound out to him. If Jacob MULLER and George KOONCE were SWISS, makes me wonder if George KORNEGAY could have also been Swiss. Dr. Cobb said, in the group were French Protestants from Guienne and from Gascony, a few French Swiss, German Swiss and Germans from beyond the Palantinate. Pat Hoffman

    3. Patty, so sorry to hear of your loss. I know where you are coming from. I lost my husband in 1990 after several years of sickness (emphyzma) And have tried to stay busy with genealogy and family since. I know the hurt of losing someone sudden - I was awaken at 3AM in 1975 and told my baby of 23 years had been killed in auto accident. It still hurts. Now we just have to go on with the fond memories that we have of our loved ones and try to make more memories with the family that we have left here on earth. God will take care of you. I'm here for you anytime you wish a shoulder to lean on.
