I am in the process of doing my Webre family tree and would like to have as much information as possible in regards to. Oral history has that my 2 great grandfather, Sylvester and great grandfather Joseph had steamers (or part owner of) to move products and equipment to and from the plantation due to impassable roads to the Mississippi River. I have very little information in regards to and have lots of questions.
There is a New York Times article of 8-26-1854 in regards to the sinking of the Sylvester Webre 35 miles south of New Orleans killing 3 including Capt. John Sharp.
A New York Times article of 10-5-1893 in regards to the lost of the Joe Webre at Camanadaville (Grand Isle, La.), the Capt. was either a Mike or John McSwenney.
Any help or leads in the right direction would be greatly appreciated....Thanks again and looking forward to your reply.
