Posted by permission of the list administrator In connection with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Planters arrival to Nova Scotia, I am pleased to announce that a limited edition reprint of Planters & Pioneers, Nova Scotia 1749-1775 (1982 Revised) by Dr. Esther Clark Wright will be available soon. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, Planters & Pioneers contains years of research by Dr. Wright to determine early settlers to Nova Scotia & New Brunswick from New England and many parts of Europe. The book is approximately 310 pages and includes information for more than 4,000 family leaders (25,000 names in total including family members) gathered meticulously from township records, registry of deeds, probate records, county and local histories, census records, family histories, genealogies, and so forth. Among those names are some JONES. Dr. Wright had hoped to publish future editions but the work ended with her passing in 1990. Planters & Pioneers is very rare because only a few thousand copies were printed nearly 25 years ago. The re-print is expected to be ready in August. If anyone is interested in ordered a copy, or to get more information about the book, feel free to send a personal message off the list to info@plantersandpioneers.com . Kind regards, Justin Wentzell Beaver Bank, Nova Scotia
