From: guy serge pompilus <karako@caramail.com> The earliest list of earthquakes I know of is in " Description de la partie francaise de l'Isle de St-Domingue", by Moreau de St-Mery published in Paris in 1958, Librairie Larose. In it you will find a list of the major earthquakes that struck Port-au-Prince during the 18th century (pg 1062-1066). Guy-Serge Pompilus.
