The McDowell DNA Research Project
1st Reunion for the DNA Participants
was held July 6th thru July 9th in
Asheville ,N.C. 2006
Check back often for updates
|
We had
a wonderful Reunion in 2006, we spent a day researching at OBCGS.
We went to the Grandfather Mountain, Highland Games on Bus and
toured four McDowell Homes in 3 N.C. counties, We also helped in a
small way to form a family group to help to save the Pleasant
Garden McDowell Home in McDowell County. I am happy to report that
the McDowell County News ran an article on our visit, and we have
seen some great progress in the saving of this Important, North
Carolina Home. We also had a wonderful dinner on the Grounds at
the Smith McDowell House in Asheville, and came along side their
efforts to keep the Museum alive that has its roots in the
American Revolution, as well as one of the Hero's of the Kings
Mountain battle, and to North Carolina History... IN general we
had a blast meeting each other and sharing, we formed some really
tight bonds, that have long outlasted 2006
|
|
We are
making great progress with the DNA matches. McDowell families are
finding their connections all over the Globe. During our first 3
years we seemed to be gathering members, and not seeing much from
the testing, but now the results and matches are coming in like
Gangbusters. We must have passed some mystical point in the
Number of folks in the Project . At any rate the folks joining now
are all getting matches to others in the Project and we are busy
working to connect our Documented Genealogy, and our DNA and This
is where it can be very interesting.
Anyone
interested can contact

2008. Proceeds go toward the Roark Cemetery Restoration Fund. |
Tour of old Charles Roark homeplace - 3 PM
|
The
Riverview Community Center (formally Riverview Elementary/High
School) is located along the North Fork New River with a
beautiful boardwalk right along the river with large grassy
areas. The New River was designated as one of the 10 National
Heritage Rivers in the nation. |
| |
|
The
Center is located in the middle of ROARK Country. The Roarks
were here before the American Revolution and many of them were
involved in the battle of Kings Mountain. This battle
destroyed Major Ferguson’s British Army, marking the beginning
of the end of the Revolutionary War. |
|
|
|
Many descendents
of these valiant pioneers still live in the area today.
Charles Roark came to this area mid to late 1700’s. He settled
only a few miles away from the Community Center. The
foundation of his original log home still remains on the
original site located on Peak Mountain. The Charles B. Roark
log cabin will be open for touring starting around 3:00 p.m.
on Sunday June 24, 2007. While at the home you may get some
history about who built the house and how it has been passed
down through the Roark line to its present owner, Chris
Taylor. From the house, some may want to hike the challenging
way nearly 1/2 mile to the Roark Cemetery. The usual route
will take you near the homeplace of Charles and Abigail Roark.
Some steps and foundation are still visible. Bring a jug if
you want to take home some fresh mountain spring water. |
| |
|
Roark descendants
and allied families are invited to renew old friendships and
gain new ones while participating in our reunion, auction,
lunch and Roark Cabin Tour. In addition, our plans this year
include a fun filled Roark Genealogy Family History Day in
West Jefferson, NC at the Ashe County Public Library Heritage
Room.
We suggest that
reunion attendees visit the Heritage Room at the Ashe County
Public Library in West Jefferson, NC on Saturday, June 28,
2008. This is an opportunity for fellow Roark Researchers to
share with each other as well as to allow the Roark Family
Association to continue the process of updating and adding
current information to the collection of Roark Family
Genealogy data published by our relative and expert
researcher, Lovet | | |
