Greetings, To My Dear and Beloved Family
Welcome
to our official Family Website! Throughout history, Black We have so many things to be thankful for, especially since the Lord has kept our immediate families together all this time and allowed us to share good times. Now, we turn over a new leaf. We've been blessed to learn of and about our extended family. Now we must embrace this opportunity bestowed upon us and keep in contact with each other. I would like to take this opportunity to cross this threshold (stepping back and moving to a new beginning). We're stepping back in time (reflecting) learning where we have been. We're moving forward to make a better life for our families. I would like to invite you on this journey, as we prepare for this, our official family website and the 1st Mayrie Family Reunion, it is important for us to remember today these accounts, and with each subsequent reunion, four major points:
In closing, as many of you know, over the last several years, we have gathered significant data on our family history and have produced an outstanding family history book that we all can be proud of. However without the efforts of the individuals listed below, the development of our family history book and this family website would have not been possible. Thus, we would like to thank:
All
of our family members especially our elders for taking the time to share
the history with us: Deacon Willie "Cooter" Haynes, Eura Lee Timpson
Ingram Alexander, Wardell "Joe" Timpson, James E. Haynes, Lucy Bell Haynes Perry
and, John Henry Haynes. Many Blessings, |

families have had their share
of troubles, their share of joy and, pain. Today, most of us are still
striving to achieve our rightful place in this world, it has been a long journey. Our families, The
Timpson's, Haynes' and Davis', have met many challenges over the years and, we
continue to stand strong. As our ancestors guided us
with their knowledge, coupled with their wisdom and strength, I believe that the more we
embrace our heritage, the more empowered we become, assured in the knowledge
that if our ancestors could survive and thrive against all odds through faith in
God, certainly we can, too.
