Hi Matt, Great work! I didn't get it before, so thanks for sharing with list. Have you read John Lawsons, "A New Voyage to Carolina" it's full of good information also. Kathlynn

Some recent posts have referenced the Palatine settlements in America. I did a report on Graffenried's colony a few years back and posted it to the Kornegay List Serve. Since it has added several new subscribers since then, I am posting it again for those who might not have seen it before. The book is called: "Christoph von Graffenried's account of the founding of New Bern" (A brief summarization of the initial emigration with annotations by Matt Ward) After the colonization of New Bern and the subsequent failures of Graffenried to make it successful financially, he returned to his homeland and wrote a defense of his efforts. He had been severely criticized for the many hardships and deaths that the colony had suffered and had been accused of undertaking the colonization imprudently to the disadvantage and ruin of many. His treatise has been published under the title Christoph von Graffenried's account of the founding of New Bern. The volume from which the summary below was taken was reproduced from a 1920 edition (German and French versions, with an English translation of each) in the North Carolina Collection, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill,. It was reprinted in 1973 with permission of the North Carolina State Office of Archives and History by The Reprint Company, Spartanburg, South Carolina; ISBN 0-87152-141-5; Library of Congress Catalog Card Number: 73-2697. I have recently learned (June, 1998) that reprints are available for $12.95 plus postage from the Tyron Palace Museum Shop, Phone (252) 514-4900. A large section of colonial America was granted to eight favorites of England's Charles II. He wished to reward them for their assistance in helping him to the throne after the downfall of the Cromwells (Oliver and Richard). These eight men: Edward Earle of Claredon, George Duke of Albemarle, William Earl of Craven, John Lord Berkeley, Anthony Lord Ashley, Sir George Cartaret, Sir John Colleton, and Sir William Berkeley were thereafter known as the "Proprietors". Their grant covered lands in America from 29¡ to 36¡30' north latitude (roughly, from northern Florida to northern North Carolina). They were given almost absolute power including the power to create an order of nobility among the inhabitants of their domains, but the titles were not to be the same as those used in England, and the laws they made were not to be opposed to those of England. They were given discretionary powers with regard to freedom of conscience, and could grant religious liberty and toleration as they chose. Around 1709 a Swiss group known as the Ritter Company was proposing to bring over to America some religous prisoners of the Canton of Bern, Switzerland. It was agreed that 10,000 acres of land on or between the Neuse and Cape Fear rivers in North Carolina should be set out for the Proposers or their heirs, they paying to the Lords Proprietors £10 for each 1000 acres. The colonists were to have an option for 12 years to purchase an additional 100,000 acres at the same price per 1000 acres during the first 7 years and thereafter through the 12th year "according to the custome of that part of the Province" (market rate). Christopher Emanuel de Graffenreid (Christoph von Graffenreid) was the eldest son of Antony De Graffenreid, Lord of Worb and descendant of a De Graffenreid who was a follower of Duke Berchthold V, founder of the city of Bern. ( This ancestor built the family castle of Worb, six miles from Bern, which was inherited by Christopher in 1730 after his return from Carolina with broken fortune.) About 1709, Christoph von Graffenreid affiliated with Francis Ludwig Michel (Lewis Mitchell) also of Bern, and the two were engaged by the Ritter Company of Bern to make a purchase of land from the Proprietors and lead and govern the colony in the New World. Graffenreid purchased 5000 acres which included the right to a "title" of "Landgrave" (German: Landgraf) which, according to some dictionaries is the equivalent of "Count", however he was later known as "Baron" (an English term for the lowest level of nobility), a title which was bestowed upon him by Queen Anne of Great Britain. In this period, 1709, a large number of Swiss and Germans who had been subject to religious persecution had fleed first to the Palatinate of Germany. Still starving there, many had been invited by Queen Anne of England to come there temporarily. 12,000 Palatines went to England in the summer of 1709 and encamped in tents near London. Graffenreid made arrangements with the Proprietors to take a large contingent of these poor Palatines encamped in London with him to the land in Carolina he was negotiating to purchase. The Queen agreed to help (she was glad to gracefully get out of the burden her invitation to them was costing) by promising 5£ 10 shillings for each emigrant to pay their passage and gave each 20 shillings worth of clothes as a present. She also bestowed upon Graffenreid the title of "Baron". On October 10, 1709, it was allowed for Graffenreid to take 92 families (600 people) and on Oct 21, 50 more people were added. He had the privilege of choosing among them and he picked out young, healthy, and industrious persons of various trades. The palatines were put on 3 ships which left for America on January 10, 1710. Even though Graffenreid took conciencious effort to assure adequate food and accomodations for them, many died en route because of some overcrowding and the salted food which did not aree with them. Crossings usually took 6 to 8 weeks, but due to being overtaken by terrible storms the voyage lasted 13 weeks! Over half of them died at sea. This would put their landing in the new world at approximately April 11, 1710. They landed in Virginia, probably in Portsmouth. The travelled by land to Col. Pollock's in Albemarle Co., North Carolina on the Chowan river, then crossed the sound into Bath Co., and by May or June were located at the site of New Bern. In the meantime, Graffenreid himself, who had not sailed with the Palatines of London in the first crossing, had been arranging the second voyage to consist of the Ritter Company colonists from Bern, Switzerland. He also arranged for additional items of commerce and farming implements to be brought with this second voyage. This group departed Bern, March 8, 1710 and came ashore also in Porsmouth, Virginia, September 11, 1710. Graffenreid met with the Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia (Governor Spotswood was away at the time), and also met with Edward Hyde who had been sent by the Proprietors to be governor of North Carolina. Graffenreid and his people then set out over land for the Chowan river where they expected to find boats to take them to their tract on the Neuse and Trent rivers. **************************************************************************** ***** Graffenreid left Berne, Switzerland and first visited Holland. From there he went to England and describes the following: At this very time there came over 10,000 souls from Germany to England, all under the name of Palatines, but among them were many Switzers and people brought together from other provinces of Germany. This is confirmation that the so-called Palatines were, in fact, from several German speaking provinces and not merely from the Palatinate (Pfaltz), and included some Swiss. After contracting with the Queen and the Proprietors of the colonial areas, he was alloted from the Queen 4000£ sterling to provision ships and transport "a considerable number of these people" to America. He goes on to indicate what great care was taken to select healthy, industrious people and among them those of all sorts of trades necessary for the undertaking. He also tells of the care to make sure the ships (3) were adequately provisioned and supervised. The ships sailed from Gravesend, but he could not sail with them as he was waiting for "the little colony coming on from Berne, as well as for some of my associates." This first contingent of ships left Gravesend in January. Then, he explains, because of rough winds and storms it took thirteen weeks to arrive in Virginia. This, along with the salt food to which the people were not accustomed, and the fact that they were so closely confined, contributed very much to the sickness and death of many upon the sea. The one ship which was filled with the best goods and on which those in best circumstances were traveling, had the misfortune, at the mouth of the James River, in sight of an English man-of-war, which however lay at anchor, to be attacked by a bold French privateer and plundered. After the surviving colony had regained health in Virginia where they were received very kindly, they betook themselves about twenty English miles towards Carolina, all of which, along with the goods cost a great deal. And now when they came into the county of Albemarle to the home of one Colonel Pollock upon the river called Chowan, a member of the council and one of the wealthiest in North Carolina, he provided these people, (but for money or the worth of it) with ships, so that they were conducted through the Sound into the County of Bath upon the River Neuse, with provision for only the most urgent necessity; and there the Surveyor General settled them on a point of land between the Neuse and the Trent River. This place called Chattoka is where the city of New Bern was afterwards founded. Next, Graffenreid describes additional hardships endured by this initial contingent of "Palantines". But he follows with: .the poor people had to live in great distress until fall, when I came. Consider how my Bern people, who in every other respect had had a favorable passage with me in a good and favorable time of year, with plenty of room, and not one sick on the way, looked on this tragedy, where sickness, despair, and lack of the most necessary things reigned supreme This paragraph is revealing in that it tells the approximate arrival time of the second contingent.the ones he said he had to wait for (the reason for not being able to sail with the first three ships from Gravesend). Elsewhere in the account, he says they came in sight of land on Sept. 10, and came ashore on Sept. 11 (1710). And, he again refers to the second group as "my Bern people." This suggests that this second group probably were a fairly homogeneous group geographically.from the Bern area as opposed to the description of the first group as , "all under the name of Palatines, but among them were many Switzers and people brought together from other provinces of Germany." These Swiss were made up, in part, of 100 persons who left Bern, March 8, 1710. To them there was to have been added at some stage of the journey, the 56 convicts, men who had been in prison now two years because of their Anabaptist views. Passes through England had already been secured, but it was not until March 12 that the Swiss Ambassador to Holland, St. Saphorin, was instructed to get the consent and assistance of the Dutch authorities in bringing the prisoners on their way. On March 18 the little band of convicts started by boat from Bern under Michel'' care. The States General had not yet given their consent and showed no signs of doing so, as they had no sympathy with the Anabaptist persecutions, for in Holland people of this sect were welcomed on account of their industry and orderly lives. On the trip down the Rhine, fully one half of the prisoners became too sick to continue and had to be left in the Palatinate. By the laws of Holland (which was sympathetic to the cause of the Anabaptists and welcomed the sect on account of their industry and orderly lives), these prisoners on reaching Dutch territory would thereby become free and able to choose their on destiny rather than being bound to deportation to America in order to gain their freedom. When the remaining 28 got as far as Nimwegen, Holland, the vigilance of the Dutch Anabaptists discovered the prisoners; complaint was made; and they were immediately released and allowed to go back to their friends in the Palatinate, or wherever they would, in search of their families form whom they had been so long separated. It appears only one of this sect kept on to America. Below is a summary of the letters from colonists in New Bern to their friends and relatives back home in Switzerland. I have extracted that which might be of use to genealogists trying to find surnames mentioned among the colonists or their relatives in Switzerland. Also included are some of the content to give us all a better prospective of their hardships. Most of their letters tell of how they are fairing in the new colony and advise others who might be considering migrating what to bring for use and what to bring to resell at substantial profit due to its scarcity in the colonies. Many of the letters mention with sadness the deaths of family members, which reminds the modern reader of the hardships and misery suffered by these brave people. Unfortunately, the letters do not contain an inside address, so unless it is revealed within the body of the letter, we do not know to where the letter was sent in Switzerland. Owing to the corrupt text in the original of some of the letters, translation is, while true, at times confusing in syntax. All parenthetical inserts are mine, not the letter writer's. Written Apr. 7, 1711 by Hans Ruegsegger (Rügsegger?) from New Bern: 1. Mentions his son, Hans, died Feb. 26 (1711). 2. Mentions son, Uhli, may wish to get married and come with his bride to New Bern.

They had a child named Jesse Berfeild Price who married a Levicy Dilliard who had a daughter named Zilpha Price who married a George W Kornegay. I will share any information i have if any one has any information on William Mckeel Price i would greatly apricate any help you can offer. Thanks Ray Email: [email protected]

Where did Robert die? I think there was a family of Robert Kornegay's in the Mount Olive area (Could be Wayne or Duplin Co) many years ago. If my memory serves me right - there was a family in Mt Olive area of Hatch and there was a someone by the name Durant in that family. I'm sure much younger generation than you are speaking of - but could be related. the Durant Hatch that you are speaking of could have been a son in law. Often times the men would give property to a son in law instead of the daughter.

Pat - I promised some time ago to look up my documentation on the children of Robert Kornegay. The children that I have listed are Jane O. Kornegay Lane, David Smith Kornegay, Thomas Kornegay, Mary S. Kornegay and Alexander Hambleton Kornegay. I only have circumstantial evidence that these are his children. These names come from three different records where Durant Hatch Jr. acting as administrator of Robert Kornegay's estate was selling various piece of property. In all three records these people are listed as heirs of Robert Kornegay, not children of Robert Kornegay. Jane was married to Levin B. Lane and it would appear that the remaining children are probably juveniles at the time of death. For your records one of the sales transactions is on page 714 of the Z.H. Gwynn book, item 442. I have not located a will for Robert Kornegay. I believe he was born in 1782 and died in 1825 when he was 43. Dying at that young age I do not believe that he had a will. Robert died when David Smith was 15. David Smith came to Texas in 1830 when he was 20 years old. According to family legend passed down through descendents of David Smith to me, David Smith came to Texas because of a dispute about his father Robert's estate. From reading various property sales transactions it is evident that Robert's wife Latitia was still alive in 1830 when David Smith moved to Texas. I am not quite sure why Durant Hatch Jr. was the administrator of the estate instead of Latitia. He made many transactions on behalf of the estate including buying some of the estate properties himself. I always suspected that David Smith believed that Durant Hatch Jr. was not acting in the best interests of the estate and that is why he moved to Texas. I also have a copy of the original will of David Kornegay, Robert's father, that I obtained from the Jones County courthouse in the 1970s. In the will David's wife is listed as Lettice so that is the spelling I have been using in my records. Benny

Hi Christy, While cleaning out my mail-box before it blows up I found the following message. Can you believe I have kept messages from this far back? Anyway, it appears, without my knowing it, that it was intended for me to keep this. In the past few months I have found the ancestors of my g-grandfather, Samuel Hardy Woods - Ashley Co AR. His mother Emily "Milly" C. Strickland [m: Robert Simenton Woods]. Emily's ancestors I have back to the immigrant Mathew Strickland, Sr. Isle Of Wight VA. His descendants [my line] TO Bertie Co NC which became Edgecombe TO GA TO AL TO Ashley Co AR. BTW Julie [email protected] - on our Kornegay list also has Strickland connections. Isn't this something that we find out we are connected somehow in both Kornegay & Strickland surnames? What is your Strickland lineage? Are you on the Strickland list?

Hey Wallace, Gee you got that right. It sounds so easy......Do Not be fooled. I have just started redoing the whole thing. I have decided to start at me and go straight to George 1st, then start adding one child at a time. I never realize how much of a mess I had until I printed it out. So, I want to apoligize to everyone I have shared my data base with for sending something that was that messed up. Sheila

Benny, I would love to have a copy of them if it isnt too much trouble. I have searched the web and found pictures of current living Kornegay's and it would be interesting to see how much they favor. Sheila

Sheila, I can understand your frustration on trying to combine two or more files on Family Tree Maker. When you sent me your file a while back, I assumed you had combined two or three at some time. I went through several merge operations and wound up doing a manual merge several times also. Do you have an instruction book with your program? It probably explains how to do a merge, but if it's like mine it won't work the way they say it should. Family Tree Maker leaves a lot to be desired in the merge department.Good luck with your efforts. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Yep Kathlynn, That straightened out the mess. As I was looking through a printed copy of my entire Kornegay line, I can not believe the mistakes. I will never make the mistake of combining two data bases. I think I will start over and enter everything from scratch and hopefully bypass these mistakes. I have a feeling it is going to be a very long spring and summer..... Sheila

This is Benny Huff. I was asked by some of you to send the old Kornegay pictures that I discovered to everyone via the list server. I tried and the server allows only plain text with no attachments. If anyone else wants copies let me know and I will send them to you directly.
