I seem to get more forgetful everyday, upon the suggestion of HamiltonSquare, I looked again at Southern Wood Fern, then looked at the posts related to it and saw where last year I was trying to identify the same fern. I decided that my fern was not Thelypteris kunthii, because the database says later in the season it has a bronze cast. I had not noticed that, with my fern. But I now think the reason it takes on a bronze cast is because of the sori changing colors and giving it that appearance to a certain degree.Maybe it is very late in the season and I thought the plant was just turning brown and withering for the winter. Anyhow looking very closely at the leaves and the sori and reading about the plant I do now think it is Southern Wood fern.
I will let this post stand for a while and if I get no further questions I will move my photos to Southern Wood fern.
