The Haskew Family has held reunions annually near Birmingham for more
than 40 years (since the early 1950s, when the first reunion was held
in Lincoln, AL), normally the second Sunday of each August. It has
been organized by George and Jean Haskew in recent years. This year
it was at the Trussville Community Center with around 65 attendees.
All of those attending trace their lineage back to John Haskew
(b. ca 1800, d. ca 1843 in Clarke County, AL) who married Susan Hendley
(b. ca 1802 in South Carolina), with the majority linking to his great-grandson,
the cotton speculator Mathew Woodfin Haskew who married Alberta
Florence Walker. Click

Surnames among these descendants in addition to Haskew include Brandenburg,
Bradford, Garrick, Hamilton, Hicks, Larrimore, Peacock, Ray, Stone,
Till, and Walls. One of the goals for the reunion next year is to
compile a book which includes as many of the family lines as
possible. Please contact us with any additions you may have - all are
welcome - click here
to send what you have. We will also provide information on this page
for other Haskew reunions as we become aware of them - e.g. a Haskew
/ Hasskew / Hesskew reunion in Tennessee, which we believe are
descendants of Joseph/Robert Haskew.
