Heritage

Introduction

The descendants of the family of Jack and Mariah Summerall have been gathering together annually to celebrate our bond and heritage since 1956. Hundreds of family members from the west coast to the east coast come to the town of Baxley, GA for the three-day gathering that begins on the Thursday before the fourth Sunday of August and concludes after the Sunday service. Baxley, GA in Appling County, GA is where Jack and Mariah and many of their chidren and descendants lived. 

The history committee of the Jack Summerall Family Gathering have derived details of our family history from older family members, online research and printed documents. Our story is ever evolving as more information is uncovered and we encourage you to collect, record and share stories with us and your descendants. Preserving and remembering our past informs our present and gives us strength, resiliency and hope for the continuation of our legacy in generations to come.
