Hello everyone!

It's that time of year again! I hope everyone is planning to attend the annual reunion, which is Saturday, June 14, 2025, at the homeplace cabin at 7633 East Emory Road, Corryton, TN 37721. The house will be open by 9:00 AM. There will be live music and new souvenirs available to purchase, so plan to get there early!

The meeting will begin at 11:00 AM, followed by a special historical program and a roll call of Nicholas's descendants. Afterward we will share our customary dinner on the grounds, so be sure to bring a dish of your choice. Drinks and utensils will be provided.

In case of rain, please watch this page for any updates.

We will have reprints of Nicholas Gibbs and His Descendants (1733-1977) available for $50 plus $6 postage if you need it to be mailed. Remember to bring updates from your family such as births, marriages and deaths that have happened since 1977.

Thanks to a grant from the Emory Road Chapter of the DAR, repairs have been completed on the west end of the cabin. Upkeep for a 232-year-old cabin is never ending. Thanks to your donations and membership dues, we are able to keep up with the mowing, tree work and varmint control!

Our treasurer is Gail Lay. Gail’s address is 6109 McGinnis Road, Corryton, TN 37721-3606. Your membership is what keeps this organization afloat and the cabin in good repair, and now is the time to renew. Individual membership is $25 and family is $40. Any additional contribution is appreciated. If you cannot attend the meeting, please mail in your dues!

See you in June! Everyone is welcome!

Best regards,

Joe Longmire, President
