Bob, you will send a copy of this letter to the Wilkes County mailing list, won't you? I'm sure the people there would like to read it.

I was not compiling a book on the Rousseau family, per se, but titled Lt. Col. Benjamin Herndon of Newberry County, South Carolina, A Revolutionary War Officer, subtitled A Study of his Antecedents, Descendants, and Relatives. The title may be a bit misleading because he served in the Revolution from Wilkes County, N.C., and didn't move to Newberry County, S.C., until about 1791. He descended from the Rousseaus and there is a section in the book on the Rousseau family. The book is complete. I sent it to the indexer in Massachusetts two days ago. After she finishes her indexing and I incorporate it into the book, it will go to the publisher who will have it printed and bound. I have given the book as a gift to The Chester District Genealogical Society, Richburg, S.C., who will publish and sell it. That society is a charitable organization using their funds for restoration. In other words, I get nothing from it. I'll try to remember to let you know when they have it on the market. If I should forget, email me again in about a month. Cordially, Bob WRITING SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORY
