Below is by the Flowerdew Foundation staffer, Debbie Miller [[email protected]], and I hope will be of interest to one or more of us. There is to be a Descendants Gathering on Saturday, August 24, 2002 at the Flowerdew Hundred in Hopewell, Virginia. The goal for the Descendants Gathering is to reunit the relatives of the various Flowerdew families. We would also like for everyone to exchange and gather information on their families. It is designed to facilitate close contact between descendants and Flowerdew, and to emphasize the importance of their ancestors' roles in the history of Flowerdew. The event is directed at descendants, but the public will also be welcome.
