The 87th Edwards Family Reunion will be held on the lawn of the Old King William Courthouse on Sunday, August 14, 2016 beginning at 3:30 p.m. Members of all families related to the Edwards Family and anyone interested in the Reunion are cordially invited to attend. In case of inclement weather (rain or heat) the Reunion will be held in the Main Lobby of the King William County Administration Building behind the Old King William Courthouse. Bibb Edwards will be giving a talk entitled “The Edwards Estate: Fact or Fiction”. Come and hear what he has discovered! Bring some of your favorite covered dishes to share as well as a card table and chairs. Drinks, plastic utensils, and paper products will be provided. We will eat after the meeting, and Mark and Jesse Townsend will be bringing games for the children! There will be a new mailing list available this year. If changes to the mailing list are needed, such as contact information (address, phone number, email address), name change or if there are additional family members, please let me know by August 1st so that I can update the list before it is printed. My email address is below. Also, please bring copies of your priceless photos so we can add them to our scrapbooks! In addition to the scrapbooks, we have a family photo album containing photos of many of our ancestors and their homes. Look and see what we have gathered. If you can add to the collection, please do! Caroline's Journal has been going strong for two years now, and there is one more year to go. Bibb launched the website in June, 2014. It is the journal of Caroline Baker [Ellett] Littlepage, of King William County, Virginia, from 1 June 1864 to 22 June 1867.
