Imes Reunions Around the country

Several years ago, Ramona Leeper husband Richard told me about a reunion that is held every year in Madison Co., Iowa. For the most part, these are descendants of the Iiams, Imes that settled in Bedford CO., Pa. and went to Ohio then some on to Madison Co. I believe that the reunion is held in late summer.
Another reunion that I have heard about is the descendants of John 'Jack' Imes. This reunion is held each year around Pittsburgh. Jack is the son of a slave woman that was on the Howard Plantation and a white father.They settle in Juanita Co., Pa. This is well documented and the story appears in the "Iams of America" by Ralph Reynolds, M.D.Carmen Harleston compiled the history of the line of the Imes.
