The 2010 annual meeting of the CFA was September 16-18 in Hampton, Virginia. This meeting was three days instead of the usual two because of special events planned to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the arrival in Virginia of John Chandler born 1600.

The ancestor of many CFA members, John Chandler came to Jamestown in 1610 at the age of 9. As an adult, he owned thousands of acres of property and made his home in what is now Hampton.
