Other Savant reunions of the past:
- The descendants of Green Savant & Battina Jones Savant have traditionally had their reunions alternate locations, between California & Louisiana.
- The descendants of Hypolite Savant and Alodie Nevils used to have their yearly reunion at the home of Lovinia Savant Fontenot (daughter of John B Savant and Lovinia Lormand; granddaughter of Hypolite), in Indian Village, LA, the last Sunday of June.
- The descendants of Lucius Savant, mainly through the children of his son Armand (especially Rodney Savant & Ida Savant Ford), used to have their yearly reunion on the former property of Ursula "Sule" Lormand Savant, in King's Farm, LA, the Sunday before Memorial Day. Savants descended from the other sons of Ortere were always invited. The Lucius Savant reunion was never held again after the death of Rodney Savant in 1999.
- The Octave Savant & Evia Nevils reunion used to be held yearly in Indian Village or Kinder, LA, the weekend of Columbus Day, in October. The last of this reunion, in Louisiana, was held in 2002. Some members of this group have held smaller gatherings in Texas since that time.
- The descendants of Euric Savant and Zelma Fontenot used to hold their reunions every year in Indian Village, LA, the weekend of Thanksgiving, and previously every 4th of July.
Our 2014 reunion was held in Washington, Louisiana, on February 22, 2014. Over 300 Savant family members from numerous states attended, with all four of the branches represented. Many members wore clothes in the colors of their respective branches. Some cousins saw each other for the first time in many years, while other cousins met each other for the first time. The weather was beautiful, and there was food, fun and more food!
