Hi, everyone - This message below was posted on the LA ARCHIVE list, and I'm embarassed to admit, I only know of one plantation in the Union Parish area that Bobby Bayles told us about. Surely there are others. Does anyone know their names? I told Stephanie I thought the name of the owner might be a valuable piece of genealogical information also, so if you know that, please include it. Send it to our Union Parish list, and I'll send it on to Stephanie, but also it will give me a chance to make up a list for our archives, too.
