Descendants come from 9 states

There were 55 members present for the first-time reunion, including the four remaining granddaughters of this lineage. Those relatives are: Margie Roller Maynard, Onna Mae Howard Smith, Mary Lou Adcock Judkins and Anne J. Adcock Evans.

Attendees traveled from Virginia, Florida, Ohio, California, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Alabama, Nashville and the surrounding area.

Many activities were enjoyed during the weekend, including a tour of Cumberland Caverns, boating and swimming on a nearby lake, visits to old homesites and cemeteries.

The weekend began with a picnic at Rock Island State Park and ended on Sunday afternoon at Falcon Rest, where members enjoyed a formal lunch and a tour of the mansion.

Of special interest during the afternoon was the genealogical update on the Love/Adcock and allied families by Joyce Martin. She has traced the history of this lineage back to their arrival in the United States prior to the Revolutionary War.

Copies of this family history will soon be available and can be ordered from Martin. Event hosts were John and Karen Evans, Choel Evans, and Amy and Bob Buckley. The event was in honor of their mother?s 80th birthday.
