Did your ancestor fight in the Revolutionary War in the Battle of Guilford Courthouse? Are you interested in meeting other descendants of Revolutionary War veterans? This event is for you!
Join Guilford Courthouse National Military Park for our first ever Descendants Symposium! The symposium will kick off with a summary of the accomplishments of the park's dedicated citizen archivists, who have transcribed all pension files of identified veterans of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse.
Kevin Eugene Graham will deliver the keynote address on his ancestor, Zachariah Jacobs Holmes. Descendants will then discuss how they have researched and uncovered the stories of their Patriot ancestors and what those stories mean to them today. The event will conclude with an audience Q&A session.
The symposium is open to the public and free to attend. No advance registration is required.
Symposium Program:
Opening Remarks: Supervisory Ranger Tom Sobol
Keynote Address: Kevin Eugene Graham, descendant of Zachariah Jacobs Holmes, and former President of the Sons of the American Revolution Lower Cape Fear River chapter
