    1. [NYCATTAR] PRINCE family 101st reunion
    2. Jonathan PRINCE married twice, first Polly ELY, then Catherine HITCHCOCK of Otto, NY. Polly and Jonathan had eight children, Jonathan and Catherine had twelve, for a total of twenty children! Common family names include PRINCE, MILK(S), MOSHER and many, many more! Many PRINCE descendants still live in Cattaraugus County, please help spread the word, or at least have them contact me to exchange genealogy information. Thanks! Annette The second century of family reunions has begun! Attention all descendants of Job Prince (1750-1827) and Rhoda Kibbe (1770-1831). This year’s reunion is August 15, 2009 at the Little Valley Riding Club! Job, a Revolutionary War Veteran, had ten children. At least eight of them have confirmed descendants. We are currently seeking all descendants for attendance at this year’s reunion! We need your help so spread the word! At least 8 of the 10 children spent time in Cattaraugus County! Son Jonathan was one of the first settlers in the county. Latest and Greatest Information:           We have a website, www.princereunion.com. It needs attention from someone who knows how to design webpages! Interested? Contact Tom or Annette through the webpage.           The latest on “the book.” Jane and several cousins have a rough draft of the book and are currently diligently editing the book. Updated information this year is a NECESSITY! Please make sure you send0Ainformation if you can not attend. A prototype will be available at the reunion for your perusal and editing!           The debate: Living people, to include or to not include? The choice is up to you! I had originally thought to limit the book to only through Job’s great grandchildren, as I know that entire generation is deceased, but many of you want more than that. The choice is up to you. Should the names of people who are living be included? Other information such as dates will not be included. Make your opinion known!           The Little Valley Riding Club has graciously agreed to allow camping, both in tents and RV’s. There are no hook ups available, but electric will be available for a fee. Contact Bonnie at bhwina@yahoo.com for reservations or more information.   This year’s Agenda   10 am – doors open.
