In connection with the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Planters
arrival to Nova Scotia, I am pleased to announce that a limited edition
reprint of Planters & Pioneers, Nova Scotia 1749-1775 (1982 Revised) by
Dr. Esther Clark Wright will be available soon. For those of you who
may not be familiar with it, Planters & Pioneers contains years of
research by Dr. Wright to determine early settlers to Nova Scotia & New
Brunswick from New England and many parts of Europe. The book is
approximately 310 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. In particular, there were a number of CLARK
families included in the book. 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. The re-print is expected to be ready in August.
If anyone is interested in ordered a copy, or to get more information
about the book, feel free to send a personal message off the list to
info(a)plantersandpioneers.com .
Kind regards,
Justin Wentzell
