I found, in searching the AOL internet find for the subject "Hornigh" it came up with one listing which was a passenger ship called the "Philidelphia" ship's passenger list of a 1732 voyage. In one place it listed Gabrial Hornigh, in a second list it showed Gabriel Konigh.... yes, the first Gabrial was with an "a" the second with the more convention spelling. The second surname was without the "r"....Konigh...not Kornigh. I suspect the descrepancy was due to two different modern researchers trying to interpret the handwriting of the original roster. It made me think...in some people's handwriting a "K" and an "H" can be hard to tell apart. Perhaps, the original name that was later copied as "Hornigh" was really "Kornigh". Matt
