I found it in the N.C. section of the Houston Genealogical Library. The information was given by John Baxton Flowers III who cites his sources: Unpublished manuscript on Kornegay genealogy, based on primary reserach sources, deeds, wills, estate records and Bible records in the possession of the author. He says, "George and Mary Kornegay had eight children: George Jr., Capt. Jacob Kornegay, who married Mary Ward and lived in Duplin County; John Kornegay, who married a woman named Rachel, and lived in Duplin County; William Kornegay, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Edward and Patience Outlaw, and lived in Duplin County; David Kornegay who married a woman named Lettie, and lived in Jones County; Joseph, who is said to have married Margaret Roberts and lived in Duplin County; Abraham, who died childless in 1809 in Duplin County; and Mary who married Edward Cornwallis DeBruhl and lived in Duplin County. By his second wife, Susannah (Susannah Stechy Stephens), George had two children; Daniel b. 1760, who inherited lands on Falling Creek in Dobbs Co. (now Wayne); and Elijah b 1762 and inherited lands on Falling Creek." > >In another paragraph he states: "George Jr., married Mrs Margaret (Downing) Lullum, a widow and by her had six children. She died ca. 1800 and in 1802 he married Mrs. Mourning Wiggins, widow of Willis Wiggins of Wayne County. George and Mourning had no children, though she had an only daughter, Elizabeth Wiggins, who later married George's son Jacbo Kornegay II, thus further complicating the web of a family that has produced what some term "double Kornegays" and "triple Kornegays." George Kornegay Jr. died in 1808 in Duplin County and was buried at his Red Hill Plantation. > >George and Margaret had six children: George Kornegay III, Civil who married her first cousin, John Kornegay; Daniel who married Edna Flowers; David who married Zilphia, daughter of Rev Francis Oliver of Duplin Co.; Basil who married Tabitha, daughter of William and Margaret (DeVane) King of Sampson Co.; Jacob II who married his step-sister Elizabeth Wiggins and lived at Pleasant Green Plantation on Falling Creek in Wayne County. > >Sandy >At 08:30 PM 6/7/98 -0400, you wrote: >> >> One thing I've noticed is an inconsistency or two on old George's >>wives.
