Richard, I am a KORNEGAY descendant of William Kornegay via two of his children: Zilphia Kornegay m. Captain James Outlaw >>>>Nancy Ann Outlaw later generation David Kornegay m. a Grady I believe. and from David's line Frances Ann Kornegay married Blaney Williams who was b. 1828 >>>>>James Cicero Williams Nancy Ann Outlaw and James Cicero Williams m. in 1873 I am trying to establish who Blaney Williams parents were: Some suggest Blaney Williams who was b. 1787 d. 1852. If this is the case there would have been a first wife. Some have suggested that Blaney Williams had a daughter, Caroline and Blaney. My Blaney Williams would have been 11 years old when Blaney Williams ca. 1787 married Mary Jane Draughon. Her will did not mentioned a Blaney Williams, Jr nor did Blaney Williams mention a Blaney Williams Jr. in his will. Hargett Kornegay and Alexander O'Grady were the executors of his will. Blaney Williams (my ancestor) 2nd wife was Mary Catherine KORNEGAY m. 1856 Blaney Williams divorced Frances Ann in Wayne County Court in Spring of 1856. He married Mary Catherine April 10, 1856. I think the DNA is the best way to either confirm or disprove who our KORNEGAYs are. There has also benn a suggestion of the name deriving from KOENIG which translates to mean KING in Germany. Thank you for sharing and if you can help to find who Blaney's parents were I would appreciate it very much.
