Our family are descendants of Tom Vines and Margaret Gilliam Vines of Isle of Wight County, Virginia. They were African Americans born in the mid 19th Century, but nothing is known of their parentage. Tom worked as a farmer and Margaret cared for the home and their 7 children, from whom our family branches spring. The extended Vines family holds reunions in cities such as Richmond and Suffolk Virginia, Washington DC, Philadelphia, Boston, Los Angeles, and Baltimore. The next reunion will convene in 2010 in Washington, D.C. Our family mourns the recent lost of Mr. Robert L. Vines, our beloved brother, uncle, brother-in-law, and good friend, who returned home with the Creator on September 16, 2002. We are celebrating the births of new family members - Dania Avette Jiggets born August 1, 2002 in Norfolk, VA, Kaila N. Barnes born November 29, 2002 in Virginia, Elizabeth Djenne Leary born February 4, 2003 in Baltimore, Julian Timothy Wilkins born August 22, 2003 in Prince Georges County Maryland, Abena Tatu Malaika McNeil born December 16, 2003 in Philadelphia, Odist Powell, Jr. born March 31, 2004 in Richmond, and Darielle Dawn Robinson born May 24, 2004 in Philadelphia.
