Sue: Under Gen Forum: KORNEGAY Family Genealogy Forum posted by J. Sweets on July 18, 1998 "I found a newspaper notice about Abraham Kornegay in the Carolina Observer dated 2 Aug 1826. It stated that Abraham Kornegay of Duplin County NC was murdered and Joseph Sollis was charged. The date of the murder was not given. In a 22 Dec 1825 NC newspaper there was a notice that Joseph Sollis of Duplin Co "Stands charged by a verdict of Inquest of wilful murder of Mr. Lornegay. " A $300 reward has been offered for Sollis' apprehension by Bryan and Henry Kornegay. A 9 May 1827 NC Journal article stated that Joseph Sollis was executed for the Kornegay murder. He had been convicted 27 April 1827{?} in Superior Court, Duplin Co. Sweet wrote; " This is not my line, but hope the information helps someone. " Since we know that Abraham KORNEGAY brother of Bryan and Henry (mine) KORNEGAY died in 1826, the husband of Ann TURNAGE. It is pretty safe to assume that he is the one murdered. I just wish that had told more about the circumstances. Pat Hoffman
