Graham Family Reunion
Graham Family Reunion
The Graham Family Reunion was organized in 1980 by the children and grandchildren of John Christopher Graham in order to maintain family ties, celebrate and share the accomplishments of the Grahams from South Carolina. We have held an annual family reunion in Manning, South Carolina on the 2nd Saturday in August since 1980.The following is an excerpt from the forward of The Reverend John Graham of Woodbury and His Descendants 2004 by Michael Warwick Graham:
"Betty and I were visiting with Polly (Pauline Childers Graham), wife of Robert Few Graham and she mentioned that she and John Graham Gardner, son of Letitia Graham Gardner had discussed how nice it would be to build a "GRAHAM FAMILY REUNION" and asked if we were interested. In 1980, our first Graham Family Reunion was held at Trinity Methodist Church near Alcolu, South Carolina."
The next Graham Family Reunion will be held on
