Barbara,
I am starting my search for Goree (Gorey) roots.I have family in Alabama-but no one with ther surname Goree.I would like to know about the reunion that took place in 2000.Can you provide me info?
Here is what I think I know starting from the last relative I have with the surname Goree:
1. Amanda Ann Goree b 2-7-1847 in Alabama d 6-22-1910 in Al.[She married Oscar McDonal Norris 11-12-1867.Their daughter was pearl Haygood Norris b 4-24-1879 d 9-19-1949 in Al.Pearl married Daniel Hogan in March 1900 in Alabama.My grandmother was their second child and was born 10-17-1902.My grandmother was Mary Henrietta (Etta) Hogan.She died 9-11-1982.She married Frank Oliver Higgins 3-2-1921 and my father was their 1st child born 4-23-1922.His name was Frank Oliver Higgins, Jr.I got all the information I have from my grandmother before she died.]
2. Amanda's father=Langston Fitzpatrick Goree b 1821 in Montgomery, AL; m 1844 in AL to Mary Elizabeth Barrow of NC. He may have been in Civil War 24th Battalion , Al Cavalry.
3. Langston's father=Ephriam Goree b aby 1778 & d 1836. He came from SC to Al about 1816.He married his first cousin Celia Goree of Newberry SC in 1820 in Montgomery Al.She was born 1795 in Newberry SC and died 1872.
4. Ephriam's father=Josiah Goree who came from France.He died 1816 in Newberry SC.He had married Leanne Ashford abt 1790 in SC.She was born abt 1773.
I hope there is a connection.
