Hello all, I know we have some Allred families who came to Newton Co., but not sure if this is your line. Wanted to pass this on from the Orange Co. NC mailing list. Terri Walker I just wanted to let everyone know that the East Coast Allreds are hosting a big Allred Family Reunion in Randolph County, NC on Saturday, September 11, 1999. The reunion will be held at Grays Chapel UMC in the Fellowship Hall. Grays Chapel is located at the intersection of Old Liberty Road and HWY 22 in the northeast corner of Randolph County. This reunion is open to all Allreds, Allred descendants and everyone interested in Allred Family History! The agenda is: 10:30 Meetings and Greetings. This is your chance to see who's there and hear the latest Research Information. 12:00 Noon Covered Dish/Pot Luck Lunch. All Afternoon free to visit with all your cousins and view displays We will have a lot of displays available including copies of the original Granville Land Grants, copies of some of the original wills, Revolutionary War Veteran's Applications, and other paper work that our Allred ancestors have "left" for us to enjoy and study. There will also be family photographs, tombstone photographs, and lots of other family "stuff" to see. Sunday, September 12th, we're offering a Tour of Allred Sites in Randolph County. We will begin the tour at 9am, leaving from Grays Chapel School which is located across the road from the church. The tour should last all day and we've chosen sites that we can drive too so some of our cousins who can't hike or walk long distances can join us. Maps of the Allred sites will be available at the reunion for those who can't join us. We are planning to eat lunch at Captain Tom's Seafood Restaurant around 1 or 1:30 that day. If you aren't a fan of seafood, don't worry. I can't eat it either, I'm allergic to shell-fish. There will be other items to choose from on the menu. I hope you can join us. Please let me know if you need any more info! Linda Allred Cooper lacooper@mindspring.com
