Ruth, I am descended from Samuel D. Surrency, III's marriage to Elizabeth Copeland. They were my gt, gt grandparents. The reunion near Jesup is for the descendants of one of the sons of S.D.'s second marriage with Elizabeth Kennedy and his descendants, Jacob Franklin Surrency (J. Frank). There were two families of us from other Surrency lines who attended their reunion in 2000. While they were kind to us that day and included us in everything, they did not invite us back nor did the two sisters who organized the reunion respond to letters written to both of them individually. Obviously, that means they really weren't interested in having us come back in spite of the fact I offered to give a program about our Surrency ancestors since I have been researching since 1968. I do not know anyone from the family names you mentioned. There was a Dukes/Surrency marriage in Surrency, GA. My ancestors moved away from the Tattnall County area in the very early 1900's. Jesup is in Wayne County where my grandmother was born, but she grew up in Reidsville, Tattnall County, where the family had lived before going to Jesup for a short while. My best to you in your research. The Surrency reunion was held in a community center in the Madray Springs area north of Odum, GA.
