Hi Matt, Thank you for the information. I have KORNEGAY's but Penelope WARD who married Anthony DREW is my line too. So I appreciate doubly this information. Gayle W. Licari By chance do you know if this LUKE WARD, SR was any way related to a LEWIS WARD of Dobbs County, NC have you pinpointed where in Duplin County they lived? I am also searching for the father of John William WARD or William JOhn Ward son of Cil or Celia Summerlin of NC He was b. some during the civil war. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Gayle W.
