Wiley J. Morris Family Reunion, 2017

Greetings

It's time to get together again!  In 2015 at the Omaha, NE family reunion we voted to take a Reunion Trip to the Wiley J. Morris homefront in Rutherfordton, NC., (Rutherford County) for our 2017 Reunion.  The goal was to take a tour to see the family land and plantations of our ancestors and the land where Wiley Morris, 1807 and sons worked as blacksmiths.  We will be visiting FoxRun (the original Morris plantation), Sydney Villa (the Cox(e) plantation, Green River (the Carson plantation). We acknowledged this reunion would be a bit different but we could see the beautiful landscape of our North Carolina ancestors. And of course, we could hang out with each other.

We hope all will join us, the more the merrier and better pricing for all!
