The 47th Annual Lea Family Reunion will be held on the 3rd Sunday of October, 2001, or more particularly, October 21, 2001, at the Mars Hill Community Center 12 miles west of Interstate 55, just west of McComb, MS. This reunion is for the descendants of William Leigh (Lea) who arrived at Jamestown, VA, circa 1608, and for his descendants, including but not limited to the descendants of Rev. Luke Lea and Elizabeth Wilson Lea (and later Nancy Lea), who left North Carolina immediately after the American Revolutionary War and settled in the State of Franklin, and thereafter, some of the adult married children remained in what became the State of Tennessee, while some of the adult children and Luke Lea migrated to the Territory of Mississippi and the Republic of West Florida (now easter Louisiana). All descendants of William Leigh (Lea) are invited to attend. Inquiries can be made to me at the above e-mail address.
