Additional Information


Come join the Genealogical Society of South Brevard on Wednesday, 10th of February when local historian Dabney C. T. Davis, who is a retired Brevard County school teacher and
Administrator, will talk to us on The Revolutionary War:George Washington, Women's Role,  Flintlock Muskets and Battles. Mr. Davis lectures about George Washington and the myths surrounding him. "My talks center on the only man to ever lead a successful Revolution, resign his position as Commander in Chief and then retire to his beloved Mount Vernon."
Davis, whose family has had someone in every war since the Revolution, lectures in Florida, Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.  Living in Rockledge most of his life, the highly read and feisty Davis is often referred to as the "Mayor of Sweet Street," mostly due to his active leadership in many church and civic projects, one of which is to reteach the story of Washington and his men.
The GSSB meets in the Melbourne Library, 540 E Fee Avenue. The meeting starts at 9:30 with a short business meeting, and the program starts at 10:00AM. Coffee and refreshments are provided
