Founded in 1886, the Delvee Family Association includes all descendants of Peter Delva (c1745-1803) who settled in Warwick, Massachusetts. We meet yearly in the Delvey Grove on the site of the original Delvee homestead. We are divided into Clans and Tribes iin an attempt to keep the verious lines stright through now 10 generations

Lucy Maria (Fuller) Delvee, the wife of Calvin Wilder Delvee was visiting her niece, Louise Maria (Delvy) Hale in 1886, and the conversation got around to the Delvee homestead. It was about to be sold to settle the estate of Calvin. They decided that the families of Calvin and Peter should get together one more time. Soon they changed that to include all available descendants of the first Peter. The first reunion was held on Wednesday, 2 June 1886, and was attended by 126 people. It was such as success, that it was decided to meet each year. By the time of the second reunion, the farm had been sold to Mr. William Shepardson. The Delvee Grove was then purchased from Mr. Shepardson for $60.00. Each year, since 1886, the Delvees have been meeting in the grove each year except for 1943 (saving gas for the war effort) and 2020 (COVID).

Annual Delvee Reunion

The Peter Delvee Family Association Reunion is held on the 4th Sunday in June, which this coming year is June 28, 2026. It is really an old-fashioned country picnic for the descendants of Peter and Lucy Delva. Bring a dish to share, but remember there is no electricity. Lunch will be served at about 12:30. Arriving early allows time to socialize and meet cousins you never knew you had. You will be part of something your great or maybe great-great grandparents did. This is a link that is unique to the Delvees. We have benches; however folding chairs are more comfortable.
