Key Homecoming Pictures

These pictures on this page were taken at the T. Key Sesquecentenial Homecoming held in Holly Springs, Arkansas. I would like to add captions to all of the pics, but have no idea of names in most cases. Any help that you could provide with names and/or error correction would be appreciated.

Thomas Key: Last Will and Testament
Transcribed copy provided by Joe Key (5/99). This is a rather interesting document.

Civil War Vereran Pictures
Civil War pictures provided as jpg files by Joe Key (5/99). At the homecoming we learned
that a total of 11 Key ancestors were in the civil war. Either 5 or 6 were killed (sorry, I don't
remember for sure) and the other 6 (or 5) returned home safely. A number of them were
captured by the Yanks more than once. Especially during the early part of the conflict,
prisoners (including some of our relatives) were often swapped in a POW exchange.
William Presley Key's gravestone is included in the Homecoming snapshots below.

Pictures in the following two links need to be merged and reorganized. The first has pics of Thomas A. Key, Sr. children and of his son, Wesley's, children. The second link is limited to descendents of V.O. Key, Sr. who was one of W.F. Key's sons. I have made some cross-links to try to sort things out, but the fact is I need to redo these pages (I take this as good news since it implies that the site is slowly growing).
