Our Guest speaker is Dr. Kimberly B. Sherman. Dr. Sherman will present:

From the Backcountry to the Ports: North Carolina's Scottish Communities as Economic Hubs - how Scots attempted to create economic communities and marketplaces after immigrating to North Carolina in the eighteenth century.  There will be a special focus on Bladen County and the area around the Cromartie settlement. Sunday's presentation promises to be exceptional and highly personal for Cromartie descendants.

The Cromartie Family Reunion was first observed on August 29, 1929 and was attended by various descendants of William Cromartie, an immigrant from Orkney, Scotland. "William of Orkney" settled the Cape Fear River area of North Carolina in 1750 and became the patriarch of the Cromartie Family in America. That first meeting of Cromartie descendants was held at White Lake, North Carolina to form a family organization for the preservation of Cromartie Family history, its genealogy, and to honor their family patriarch.
