Hi Marianne and list-
FYI,
Three Pioneer Rapides Families, by Dr. George Mason Graham Stafford, 435
pages with partial index, 1946, Baton Rouge, Louisiana may still be
available from Claitor's Publishing, Post Office 261333, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana 70828. A few of years ago the price was $27.50 plus $3.50 s&h,
but probably a little higher now for shipping.
Features a few inter-related Louisiana families and their mostly South
Carolina origins. Includes the descendants of Capt. Peter Robert, Robert
Tanner and William Pearce, Sr. The last two appear to have been from
nearby Screven county, Georgia and their ancestor lines are not as
extensive as that of Capt. Peter Robert.

I, too, am looking for more information on these lines.

Also, in case this wasn't mentioned here recently:
The Wells Family, by Dr. George Mason Graham Stafford, 385 pages with
partial index plus Calvit supplement, 1942, Baton Rouge, Lousiana
(available from Claitor's Publishing, Post Office 261333, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana 70828 for $25 plus $3.50 s&h). Check for current pricing.
Includes the mostly Louisiana families of: Samuel Levi Wells; also: Calvit,
Dent, Poiret, LaMothe, Meullion, Stirling, Skillman, Alston, Cullen and
others.

Hello list and Stacey,
Quite a few years ago I ordered this book "Three Pioneer Rapides Families"
from my Interlibrary Loan and made some copies regarding my PEARCE family.
I would like to purchase this book if anyone knows where it may be
available now. Stacey, is there a name and address of a publisher in your
book? Also, what year was it published? Thanks!
