    1. [KORNEGAY-L] re:marriage
    2. Marguerite Whitley
    3. Hi, Many thanks to all that responded to my query. I have some info I would like to share with all. Note, in Sarah Glisson K.'s will, the writer, or someone, incorrectly listed her as a dau. She is a dau-in-law. She was the widow of John A. Kornegay, son of George Fisher K. I had a devil of a time unraveling this knot. There is a DEED in which George Fisher Kornegay deeds 225 Acres of land for the sum of $1.00 to MY SON John A. Kornegay. Deed Book 6, Duplin Co., page 209, 6 June 1835. This explains why he is not listed in the will of George Fisher Kornegay. I have found the gravesite and stone for Sarah (Roberts) Kornegay. b. Dec 22, 1813 d. March 5, 1888.( See land division of her father for proof she was a Roberts , and married to John A.K.) Others are buried there including Sarah's dau, Susan Margaret Kornegay.(my G. grandmother). If any one wants a copy of the deed, or a zerox of the gravestone, and directions to grave site, send me your snail mail address, and I'll send you a copy. Again, thanks for the response.
