Hello Matt, I am descended from those same relatives. I am a half first cousin to Ruthie Brewer, Inez Brooks, and Elner Crisp from Arkansas. I think the lady I met at the John Ward Kornegay/Narcissa Smalley reunion was your sister, Roxy Ward Hey, several years ago. I don't know if you've seen the Kornegay Web page put up by Jerry Quinn but it is at http://www.ddaccess.com/jbquinn/Kornegay.htm. Also he is hosting a chat session at 8:00 p.m. EST. I don't think anyone has asked for the URL to the chat session on the list (I forgot and asked privately) so I am asking for it now. Jerry, could you please post the URL? My line is John Ward Kornegay - William Alfred Kornegay - William Houston Kornegay. I have the same grandfather as the AR cousins, my dad's mother was Florence Reeves and she died when he was about 1 year old.
