2002 Reunions

HERSEY, WHITE, ROWELL  Family Reunion.  This Reunion has been an annual event on the 1st or 2nd Saturday in August for a number of years. This year the Reunion will be on Saturday, August 3, 2002 at the Bickley United Methodist Church in Bickley, GA (located northwest of Waycross on the road to Nicholls).   Family members and friends will start gathering at the Church by about 10:00 AM and there will be a lunch around Noon with plenty of time after lunch for family discussions.  Attendees are being asked to bring a covered dish if they can.

This Family Reunion is by and for the descendants of Thomas Minor WHITE (1859 - 1927) and Mary Elmina HERSEY (1875 - 1960).  Mary Elmina was the daughter of Enoch Marion HERSEY (1848 - 1933) & Mary BAGLEY (b 1846).  Thomas Minor WHITE was the youngest son of Peter WHITE (b 1807) and Jane FIVEASH (b 1822).

This Reunion has been organized by Sherrie Carpenter COURSON, the granddaughter of Treeman WESTBERRY and Ruth Naomi WHITE (1911 -1998)  (Ruth was the daughter of Thomas Minor WHITE).   Ruth Naomi WHITE was previously
married to Willie Clarence MINCHEW (1909 - 1933).  So, there are quite a number of old time Ware and Coffee County families represented at this Reunion.

Let me know if you have any questions about the Reunion and if you are planning on attending.

Dyann Hersey Noles, my wife and I will be at this Reunion and we hope to see you there!   I will have my laptop computer with the family genealogies with me at the Reunion.  This would be a good time to trade information
concerning the research of many of the Wiregrass families.

Regards,
