I am looking for anyone who attended these family reunions that used to be held each year in Columbia, SC. The RABON connection is through the marriage of Jessie FANN to a RABON.
Specifically, I'd like to get a copy of the family history that was circulated at these events as well as copies of the family trees that used to be hung up.
I am currently engaged in researching the family of Robert Weston JONES for his daughter, our Aunt, who just turned 90y. She remembers going down to Coulmbia for these events but not a lot of the family history or the tree. She very much would like to learn more about her ancestory. Her JONES parents died when she was very young and she, a sister & a brother were raised in an orphange but had contact with her other siblings and family members.
Her family line starting with her parents and going back is this.......
1. Robert Weston JONES + Estella I. GOFF
2. RW JONES parents - Nelson JONES + Ellen Catherine FANN
3. Nothing further for JONES
3. EC FANN's parents - Robert Alexander FANN + Arenia MARSH. Ellen's sister Jessie married Unknown RABON.
4. Nothing further for FANN
4. Arenia MARSH's parents - James MARSH, Jr. + Nellie CARVER -- nothing further on either of these lines.
2. Estella GOFF'S parents - Hickson or Hinson GOFF + Katherine HAWKINS --- nothing further on either of these lines
Is there anybody who attended those family reunions who can help either with obtaining copies of the family history, the family trees that were displayed or adding to the family line information I have here?
