Below this message is a lengthy newspaper press release that went out a few weeks ago. The National Allison Family Reunion on the weekend of October 14 is an annual event of the National Allison-Allanson Family Association, composed of the descendants of Thomas Allanson/Allison (1639-1684), Lord of Christian Temple Manor, a Gentleman of London, England and Charles County, Maryland. The dues-paying members of the organization invite all members of our family, regardless of surname, to attend as our guests. Note that reservations with advance payment for catered meals a must! The huge annual gathering is held in western North Carolina in the town of Brevard, near Asheville and just below the Blue Ridge Parkway. Brevard is the site of our Allison family's oldest surviving documented home, built ca. 1815. As of this moment, we still have hotel and motel rooms available. I will gladly assist in making room reservations as long as the rooms last, which won't be much longer. We're expecting a crowd of up to 600-700 for portions of the weekend festivities! Hope this message reaches more of our lost tribes of cousins out there somewhere. Please contact me if you descend from this early Maryland family through its many branches that were spread all across western North Carolina, South Carolina, northeastern Georgia, Kentucky, Brooke County, VA/Hancock County WV, Spencer County IN, Holmes County OH, several areas of Texas, Missouri, Tennessee (especially Cocke County TN), and many other areas of the country that are too numerous to mention here. See below for the lengthy details of this exciting event packed weekend heritage celebration. Yours, Michael Allison, President National Allison-Allanson Family Association --------------------------------- Much larger than normal crowds from all across the country will gather in Brevard on the weekend of October 14 for the 2006 National Allison Family Reunion, marking the 10th anniversary of the founding of the National Allison-Allanson Family Association and the National Allison Family Reunion. 2006 also marks the 348th anniversary of the family's departure from London, England for America in 1658. This year the huge heritage celebration focuses on the Cherokee heritage of this tri-racial pioneer family. The event is dedicated to the memory of Cherokee Chief Leon Jones, former Principal Chief of the Eastern Band, a devoted member of the National Allison-Allanson Family Association and supporter of the reunion. Chief Jones passed away last December 30 after a seven year battle with cancer. A distinguished delegation from the Eastern Band composed of tribal leaders, Allison family members, and friends of the family, will travel to Brevard for the festivities. Included will be Cherokee Chief Michell Hicks, Principal Chief of the Eastern Band, and Chief Larry Blythe, Vice Chief of the tribe. The two tribal chiefs will participate in the reunion memorial service that includes a special tribute to Chief Jones. Leading Cherokee Indian musicians, singers, and dancers will perform in memory of Chief Jones, providing a rich cultural experience. Flutist Tommy Wildcat, acclaimed nationally known Cherokee recording artist from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, will join living legend Cherokee elder, 88 year old Walker Calhoun, one of the most respected elders of the tribe, who will sing the ancient social dances for the Raven Rock Cherokee Dancers. In a solemn moment, the Raven Rock Dancers will form a circle to sing a beloved Cherokee melody for Chief Jones, translated to English as "Guide me Jehovah." Former world champion pow-hoop dancer Eddie Swimmer of Cherokee will delight all ages with his exciting show that uses over 40 hoops in motion. Swimmer was featured on a US postage stamp in full regalia in the Postal Service tribute to Native American dance. Respected elder and the master living potter of the tribe, 85 year old Amanda Swimmer, will demonstrate traditional pottery making while delighting the Allison children with Cherokee stories. The Old Antioch Cherokee Singers will perform at the reunion memorial service, singing in both English and Cherokee, accompanying themselves on traditional stringed mountain instruments. The Cherokee are bringing a very special artifact exhibit to Brevard College for the reunion, featuring works by now deceased Cherokee Allison artists, including master woodcarver brothers Albert Allison and Boyce Allison, plus potters and basket makers. Janice Allison Jones, daughter of Albert Allison and wife of Cherokee Chief Leon Jones, will host the exhibit. The tribe is also presenting an educational exhibit that interprets the history and culture of the Cherokee. The Cherokee exhibits will join more than 150 feet of Allison family history that will be displayed. The Cherokee performing artists join a huge line-up of over 80 mountain heritage entertainers taking the stage over the event packed weekend, including Buncombe Turnpike, the Stoney Creek Boys, Pyramid Brass, Southern Mountain Fire Cloggers, Cool Creek Ramblers, Ironweed, the Pisgah Pilgrims, and the Pisgah Travelers. Events begin Friday evening, October 13 with a welcome party with coffee and dessert, a family history swap-shop, and an old-time mountain gospel sing. Festivities begin early the next morning at Brevard College for the program and banquet luncheon followed by the memorial service, then in mid afternoon the crowd moves to the historic Allison-Deaver House for an open house hosted by the Transylvania County Historical Society. The day concludes with the Harvest Hoedown -- a fabulous dinner, dance and show, outdoors on the banks of Davidson River. The Allison family story will be presented during the morning program at Brevard College, detailing the last five centuries in the life of this wandering British family. All three races of the culturally diverse Allisons - Cherokee, white European, African American - will gather to celebrate the story that binds all three groups in blood kinship as a family. All Allisons and kin, including those under many other surnames today, are cordially invited and encouraged to attend. Due to catered meals and elaborate planning necessary to accommodate the massive crowds, attendance at reunion events is by advance reservation only with advance payment for all catered meals. For more information, including all details and how to make reservations, please contact the National Allison-Allanson Family Association.

William is the only member of the family now living. He grew up in a cotton factory and received the rudiments of an education principally in the Sunday schools; came to America in 1826, stopped in Chester, Penn., about a year; removed to Brandywine, Chester County, and with his brother John operated a woolen factory six years, when his brother moved West; in 1837 he went to Ohio with a view to settlement; returning on horseback his road led him to the hills where he first saw the site now occupied by Glen Rock, where Simon Koller had erected a dwelling and saw mill. Mr. Heathcote bought the whole plan and, in 1840, when the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad was opened through, laid out Heathcote Station, wh! ich in after years, when a Postoffice was established, he named Glen Rock, a name suggested to him by reading Walter Scott’s works. He erected a woolen factory and operated it until 1855, then sold it to Philip Shaeffer, who converted it into a grist mill, now known as Glen Rock Mills, and owned by G. F. Seitz since 1881; then built another factory, higher up the Codorus which has been operated by his sons since; in 1861 erected the building now occupied by the Centreville Rope & Cordage Company, and operated it as a mill seven or eight years; in 1881 he began the boot and shoe manufactory now managed by his sons; retired from active business about 1870; was a charter member and some years a director of the First National Bank of Glen Rock, and also of the Glen Rock Foundry and Machine Shops. He was married in 183, to Sarah Koller, a native of Glen Rock, and they had five children, only one of whom, Lewin K., is now living, two died in childhood, one daughter died a! fter marriage, and one son died at manhood. In 1848 he was married at Lancaster, Penn., to Catharine Allison, a native of Glen Rock, and they have four children: Lewis, Granville, Alice, wife of Rev. J. C. Koller, of Hanover, and Willie T.; all members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Mr. Heathcote was brought up in the Church of England.
