Frances, Thanks for the information on US Genweb. I have not found it on that. Someone who gave me information on John Gwin quoted those two references.

Janet did you scroll down and click on Parish History in the menu? That will take you to the transcribed book.There are more than one file of them. The first file deals with the early beginnings of La and on down to Claiborne Parish . A great many names are found listed among the History of Claiborne Parish. Try again you might have to read a bit but if you find a nugget it is worth it all. <http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/la/claiborne/parish.htm> Good Luck .
