Markham-Upshaw Family Reunion New Braunfels, Texas June 17, 2000 Descendants of John Bunyon Markham - Sarah Elizabeth Upshaw Descendants of any brothers & sisters of John B. Markham Descendants of John Upshaw - Tabitha Lawless Contact: Charles A Markham <camark2@juno.com> Sarah Schultz died in 1999. She had been living in an assisted living residence since the death of her husband in 1998. She was an expert on the Upshaw's- she left her files for the Temple Library- I just did not have the room and did not want the responsibility that would have went with keeping them updated. [Sarah Schultz lived in Temple, TX when I met her in 1974. She went into the NSDAR on Lt. Leroy Upshaw of Amherst Co. VA and Elbert Co. GA. She is a descendant of Thomas Allen Upshaw, Sarah's brother. - David] Everyone is welcome to the reunion- the dinner will be catered and will cost each $5.50 we have reserved area 34 & 35. It is a covered pavillion and also extends to area under ythree huge live oak trees and is within 50 feet of the comal springs. It is a beautiful setting and everone should enjoy it . It is near the restooms and people with disabilities should not have any problems. I wish I could get Lucille Reeves from the Noxubee County Mississippi Historical Society to come but her eye sight is extremely bad and she just can't make it. Billie Gene Poland from Bienville, La should be able to shed some light on some things pertaining to the Markham's. Please spread the word- the more the better. If this one comes off as expected we will make it an annual affair in June each year. We might use Salado as the next site- however- you don't have as many places to chose from as far as motels and resturants but it would be historically tied to the family more than New Braunfels. Charles [I think it was the Nimrod Markham family that settled in Limestone county. Pretty sure he was a brother of the first John Bunyon Markham, the one that died in Louisiana in 1856. - David] David dmorgan@efn.org David W.
