Our story

Sample text for the demonstration. Four family lines, the Williams (June and Celia), the Waymer (Catherine), the Carrion (William and Rebecca) and the Murray (Evan), trace their roots to the South Carolina communities of Vance, Providence, Cope and Elloree. Their children scattered with the Great Migration: Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore, and later Jacksonville, Atlanta and Brevard, North Carolina. The first reunion was held at Greater Ebenezer AME Church in Greenville in 1987. The association was incorporated, and recognized as a 501(c)(3) in 2023, so the reunions, the record and the cemetery would outlive any one organizer.

If you know where you come from, nobody can tell you who you are.Rev. Isaiah Murray, as remembered by his granddaughter Lorraine
