I am looking for the descendants of John B. Currey, both of his first wife, Mary Knight, and his second wife, Permelia Garrett Finley. My lineage traces through as follows: John B. Currey & Mary Knight; Perry Currey & Rebecca Sheets; Florence E. Currey & Waitman T. Smith; and (my grandparents) Mildred L. Smith & Jason Hoff.

I have been in contact with a couple of people with ties to our Currey family, but I am hoping to find many more.

I am collecting family history information on all descendants of John B. Currey. I have some information on John B. Currey’s ancestors back to his grandfather, John Currey, but the information is limited to what I have found in my copy the Currey Family History book written by Truman Lawler. I am hoping to trade information.

On 4 July 1916, the annual John B. Currey Family Reunion was started at the Harmony Grove Baptist Church in Taylor county, West Virginia, but since there were so many Curreys living in Harrison county at that time, it was decided to alternate the reunion between Harmony Grove and Goodhope in Harrison county. Some years later, it was decided to change the reunion date from July 4th to the first Sunday nearest the First of September and the meeting place was to be Harmony Grove Church. I am curious if this reunion is still held today, and the particulars of the event if it does still exist.

I would very much like to find and exchange family information with my Currey family out there.
