Posted by permission of the list administrator I am pleased to announce that a limited edition reprint of Planters & Pioneers, Nova Scotia 1749-1775 (1982 Revised) by Dr. Esther Clark Wright has just become available. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, Planters & Pioneers contains years of research by Dr. Wright to determine pre-American Revolution settlers to Nova Scotia & New Brunswick from New England and many parts of Europe. The book is approximately 309 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 the many settlers in the book, WILLIAMS families can also be found. 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. Now it is available again for a limited time. If anyone is interested in ordered a copy, or to get more information about the book, please feel free to contact me off the list through visiting www.plantersandpioneers.com <http://www.plantersandpioneers.com> .
