Your Calendars
Join
descendants of the Pioneers of the First District of Williamson County,
TN on August 26, 2006 for the long-awaited, first-ever reunion and
discover new relatives and explore where we each fit into the big family. The
reunion is being hosted by Heycuz, a genealogy online newsgroup whose members
are all related on some level, most of whom are descendants of the pioneers of
the First District. The original pioneer families of the First District of
Williamson County include: Sullivan, Green, Stinson, Barnhill, Bradford,
Beard, Walker, White, Oliphant, Carter, Duncan, Bryant, Overbey, Buttrey,
Daugherty, Lampley, Jones, King, Givens, Pewit, Smith, Harrison, Hughes,
Mangrum, Hall, Lankford, and Tidwell--to name a few. Originally, some of the
First District was a part of Dickson and Hickman Counties, but when the
Dickson, Hickman, and Williamson county lines were redrawn they all ended up
in the First District of Williamson County.
Since
its creation in 1998, members of Heycuz have yearned for a "family"
reunion of sorts because its members had become part of each other's daily
lives. Finally, thanks to the work of member and reunion chairperson, Stacey
Givens we have set a firm date: Aug. 26th. Stacey, a long-time member of
Heycuz, has agreed to help us and taken the reins as head "cuzzin"
in the planning and coordinating of this event. She brings her vast knowledge
of the area and her family ties to the endeavor, not to mention her boundless
energy and enthusiasm.
The
event will be held at the Fairview Recreation Center, 2714 Fairview
Boulevard, Fairview, TN 37062. The center also has a commercial kitchen,
AC, an adjacent pool, plenty of tables and chairs, a stage and a piano.
It is an ideal location for the gathering and the family exhibits.
We
also have confirmed that Rick Warwick, Historian for the Williamson County
Historical Founation, and author of "Out There in The First
District," will be our keynote speaker. A favorite of many
genealogy gatherings, Rick will join us as guest for the day and will guide us
through the history of the area and its people and conclude with examples of
the craftsmanship of the chairmakers famous in the First District, featured in
his latest book, "A Century of Chairmakers.” He will
also be available to sign books and answer questions. Our ancestors were
very skilled craftsmen and women and it seems that these traits were passed
down. So, attendees are asked to bring and display their wares: including
woodwork, artwork, photography, heirloom quilts, and books. Attendees are also
asked to bring ancestral photographs and genealogical research files, which
will be scanned and returned to them by the end of the day with an
accompanying CD of everyone's contributions.
Since
many plan to attend from out-of-town, we are also working on tours to some of
the old cemeteries and homesteads, to the Dickson County Turnbull Creek
Primitive Baptist Church, as well as the research archives at Franklin. Tours
will take place on the day before the Reunion, Friday Aug. 25th. On the
evening of the Reunion, Grady and Stacey Givens will host a special barbecue
for the members of Heycuz at their farm, which was one of the original
Sullivan family farms. On the day after the reunion, members can attend the
Hudgins Cemetery Decoration Day Observance. The weekend promises to be a full
one.
We
expect attendees from as far away as Southern California and Michigan. So
arrangements have been made for a special group rate at the Holiday Inn in
Dickson. To get the special rate, attendees must book directly from the
Dickson Holiday Inn, at 2420 Hwy 46, South Dickson, by calling them directly
at (615) 446-9081. The rate is not available online or at the toll number.
