NORRIS FAMILY REUNION PLANNED Several descendants of William Berry Norris and Martisha Trivette Norris met recently to plan a "first" annual reunion. The event has been set for Saturday, October 7, 2006 at the Cranberry High School complex in Elk Park, North Carolina. Those attending are asked to bring a covered dish to share and family pictures and memorabilia. Drinks, bread and paper products will be furnished. Registration and fellowship will begin at 10:30am followed by lunch and a visit to the old home site and family cemetery for any of those attending who are interested. William Berry Norris and his wife Martisha were some of the first settlers on Old Beech Mountain during the 1800's. They lived in the house now owned by Troy and Frankie Crawford on land that was granted to them by the State of North Carolina. There they became the parents of nine children, seven of which survived. Those children were Julia Ann Norris Hagie, Leroy Russell Norris, Bynum Lee Norris, Zillia Norris Cook, Grady Hall Norris, James Luther Norris, and Roscoe Norris. If you are descended from any of these children this is your reunion. Please come and meet your cousins!
