Hi! Christine: Thank you for your input. I had forgotton about the George Fisher KORNEGAYS. It does seem to be a name handed down in several families and I imagine that that is where the suggestion comes from. I hope that you won't hesitate to enter into a KORNEGAY discussion when ever you feel like it. We may not always agree but this is the way we learn and get new prespective on things. I have been working on other lines recently so haven't persued the GRIMES or DICKSON lines in my persuit of finding the maiden name of Wyatt Y. KORNEGAY's wife. Pat Hoffman
