WHAT IS THE DILLARD FAMILY ASSOCIATION?
A Dillard reunion was held in 1941 at Dillard, Georgia by the descendants of John Dillard of Pittsylvania County, Virginia who died in 1842 a resident of Rabun County, Georgia, on the occasion of the unveiling of a monument to his grave as a Revolutionary soldier. A fifty year revival of this reunion was initiated in 1991 and has since been held on the second weekend of each June. The Dillard Family Association was organized with by-laws and officers in 1991. It was then decided that the Association should include all Dillards in the United States for the purposes of preserving Dillard history, culture and comradeship. Attendance each year continues by a substantial number of Dillards of all family lines of Dillards from all over the United States not directly connected with the Rabun County set of Dillards.
