Here's a Civil War photo of my 3rd great-grandfather BALDY GUY (1841-1911) & his brother, GEORGE GUY (1845-1928) my 3rd great-grand-uncle.
The photo was taken by cousin Sheila Adams-Gardner, who was visiting the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington D.C. where a video on the Civil War was playing.

ATTENTION GUY FAMILY MEMBERS:
The dates for the 2026 Guy Family Reunion are
July 8th-12th, 2026
The fees for the reunion are listed below:
Seniors (75 & up) $75.00 (includes t-shirt)
Adults (19-74) $150.00 (includes t-shirt)
Children (6-18) $75.00 (includes t-shirt)
Infants (0-5) $25.00 (includes t-shirt)
Please try to get your reunion fees in by the deadline date of May 1, 2026. The Whispering Woods Hotel & Vendors have to be paid off in the month of June 2026. T-Shirt orders will be placed on June 1st in order to be back in time for the reunion.
Any payment received after the t-shirts are ordered will not include a t-shirt and might be returned to that person in the mail. In past reunions we have had anywhere from 80 to 90 family members sending in payments 2 weeks before the reunion.
This causes problems with the hotel and vendors because we have to keep changing and adding people after we have turned in our projected numbers.
Any questions please contact me Darin Leake Sr. @ 901-283-1177 & Pamela Strayhorn @ 901-210-8393
Bearing The Load
As a bear ventures through unknown territory, he is marking the way for many others to follow. Because he took steps in a different direction, a new path was created for future bears who will use that same trail for generations, placing their feet in the exact same spot every time they walk the course. Their adventurous vision has created a remarkable path that will be traveled for years to come.
Thanks to our Guy Family Ancestors for being Trailblazers !!!
