Ann, I have read every book that I could find in NYC on early St.Croix history/genealogy. I thank you for the email. I am still looking for the elusive key bit of info to take me to the next island back. I have Heyliger, Richardson and dewindt genealogies. I have copies of the beck map and the earlier map that he copied his from. I have some of the early tax list info. I have bits of property info. I have plantation histories, etc. I guess I have been off the topic for a while and am rusty. At some point I will go thru my file boxes and organize the st.croix files. I need to put them online. Do you know Heather Nielsen? She has been very helpful to me this past year. I have quite a bit of posts on the various lists that are for st.croix genealogy. The 300 person list you mentioned is the one from 1767 or so? I have that one, thanks. Perhaps we could compare notes sometime. What are your surnames for the early 1700s? Mine are heyliger, Ruan, Gumbs, DeWindt, Richardson, BArnes, etc. regards, Jason Carpenter
