This is Benny Huff. I have temporarily come into the possession of about 20 more old Kornegay pictures taken between 1850 and 1900. I am working on identifying them. I will not bother ya'll with that many pictures but I did post one of them on the MyFamily.Com Kornegay site. It is of Mary Kornegay Rhodes and her husband William Rhodes and their children. From the age of the children I believe this photo was taken around 1880, maybe a couple of years earlier. Mary Kornegay is the daughter of David Smith Kornegay who came to Texas in 1830 from Jones County, NC. William Rhodes was a confederate soldier. Please note the peg leg and the way it is attached. His pants leg feeds through a slot in the top of the leg and then out the back of the leg. He was a really tough man. He lost his leg in a civil war battle in Mississippi. After he was recuperated the Union army paroled him because he was no longer a threat to fight for the Confederacy. The Union army gave him a horse and ONE crutch. He made it from Mississippi back to central Texas with the horse and one crutch. Remarkable. Benny

Benny, I have never received the invitation to MyFamily.Com Kornegay site. I would love to view the pictures there. I have asked to be included, but so far - - nothing. HELP (again).
