We know that the first R.W. Eubanks family reunion was held
September 15, 1974
at the homes of Marvin and
Beluah Eubanks and their daughter Bernice Brigham in the North
New Hope community, northwest of Dover, Arkansas. BUT,
who was R.W. Eubanks, how did he end up in Arkansas,
and who were his ancestors?
I'm sure someone out there has more information than I, but
what I have is shared here with the hope that you may share
any information you may have.
