Reunion Blog, Final: The Hays Log Cabin, relatives

This final reunion posts has a few people shots and coverage of the patriarchal log cabin home of the Hays family, c. 1820.
It was certainly one of the most fun and educational trips ever, and I regret waiting so long to go to a Hayes/Tappan affair.

Matt Wauchope at his church choir director.  Eight relatives joined in with his choir.
I hope someone took a picture of the choir!

The George Newton Hays homestead, 

a log cabin of 1820.  There was discussion about why Sherman didn't burn this house, like every  other house

around it, and I suggested that maybe it had been taken over by former slaves.

What astounds me is the conviviality of all these warm and gracious relatives.

What a cool clan to be part of!
