Rooters, I own Al's book and it is a beautifully done book with maps, photos, and a comprehensive index. Al has won an award for another book of his on the Jones Family and I suspect the Pridgen book will garner another prize. I urge all of you with Pridgen roots or branches to snap up this buy. He also has included many of the allied lines like the Joyners, Pittmans, Cockerells, Mannings, etc. Carol At 05:31 PM 12/14/98 EST5EDT, you wrote: >Now available: > >Jones, Plummer Alston, Jr. The Pridgen Family of St. Mary's Parish, >Old Edgecombe County, North Carolina, with Allied Families: Manning, >Batchelor, Bone, Joyner, Cooper, Lindsey, Cockrell, Harper, Lamkin, >Smith, Eason, Bass, Rouse, Sugg, Carter, Winstead, Davis, Ren(t)frow, >Whitley, Williams, Atkinson, Taylor, Richardson, Rackley, Holland, >Wood, Gill, Ralph, Pittman, Bright, Dixon, Dean(s), Tisdale, High, >Perry, Kent, Vester, Creekmore, Evans.
