Will you please share info/source with me? However, I knew that their grandaughter, the dtr. of Mary & her second husband Edward Cornwallis DeBryhl, named their dtr. Mary Fisher DeBruhl [per pg 19 of Charles D. Kornegay's book titled Kornegay History]. >> Sorry about that error Kathlynn, it was the granddaughter named Mary Fisher DeBRUHL, the d/o George and Mary FISHER just listed as Mary in my records.

Thank you for keeping the record straight as it is very important to do so and another of the many reasons why we cousins need each other. Pat Hoffman

You know how people ASSUME things in genealogy. since their dau was named Mary Fisher DeBruhl I can see where some would ASSUME that the mother's maiden name was Fisher.
