Foulke Family
Reunion - 1898 30 May 1898 Gwynedd Meeting House, Gwynedd, Pennsylvania |
The original suggestion for the reunion came from Lydia A Foulke Wilson as early as 1895 |
A meeting was called by Howard M Jenkins in Philadelphia on 7 Jan 1898. A proposal to hold a reunion was made at this meeting and on the next meeting of 28 Jan 1898 the Association of Descendants of Edward and Eleanor Foulke was formed. The Chairman of the Association was Howard M Jenkins and he named William Dudley Foulke [ID2689] as President, Edward M Wistar, Treasurer and Frank Foulke as Secretary |
"It was directed that all living descendants of Edward and Eleanor Foulke, and those whom such persons had married, should be invited by card to the Reunion. Those invited became 'ipso facto' members of the Association." [1] |
