Subject: Re: [PaOldC] Abrahams of Radnor
Date: Fri, 08 Oct 2004 15:50:45 +0000


Cathy: My 6 great grandfather was David [Cornock] CORNOG (1693-1780) who came from Wales with wife Catherine and owned property in Radnor that went to his daughter Jane, married to Isaac ABRAHAM; I believe Abrahams Lane in Radnor T. is named for this family. If this is YOUR family would love to share what we know. Also David left to his grandson John CORNOG (1756-1828), my 4 g grandfather, his property (100 acres) in Bedford Co! I'd love to learn more about that prop. Judy
