    3. 2004 GA Jay/Bramlett/Wallis/Wallace and Allied Family Reunion The Hopewell Methodist Church Fellowship Hall in Murrayville, Hall Co., GA has been reserved for the 2004 GA Jay/Bramlett/Wallis/Wallace and allied Family Reunion. This event will take place April 23 & 24, 2004. Please click on the following link for the latest Reunion information and the published Agenda. http://www.entechdesign.com/GaReunionNotice.htm Shortly after migrating from Warren Co. TN to Hall Co. GA in 1822, David Jay Sr. settled on Hall Co. Land Lot #61 just south of current Murrayville, GA. On June 16, 1837 the Rev. Jay donated 3 acres of his 240+ acre tract to the Methodist Episcopal Church "in consideration of his love for the Church and his desire for its prosperity". This land lot was subsequently sold many times......to son William Jay, neighbor Nathan Bramlette, etc.......always including the 3 acre "Hopewell Meeting House" exclusion until the Church formally acquired the land by recorded deed in 1895. Today the church and congregation are still vibrant.......with a new Fellowship Hall no less. Additionally, an immaculate small graveyard exists next door with a multitude of Jay and allied family graves. If you are researching, related to or allied to the following family lines.....Jay, Bramlette, Wallis, Wallace, Mattox, Hurley, Harris, Gamblin, Rutherford, Charles, Mincey, Waters, Castleberry, Martin, Daniel, Banks, Leach, Hise, Lusk, etc. .then this is the event for you. Individuals requiring lodging can stay in Gainesville, GA, which is a 15 minute drive from the church. Additionally, Gainesville has an excellent regional genealogy research library that has late evening hours......for the obsessed researcher.
