merritt island pottery seeking info

Hi-
I have several pieces of Merritt Island Pottery and am familiar with the markings "Merritt Island
Potters" and "Merritt Island Pottery". I also have a few pieces with the same glazes and clay body with
the name " Marge" or "Marge Allen". The Marge Allen pieces are usually marked with a year date.
Others in the east central Florida area have told me that Marge Allen worked with/for Melvin Casper.
I'd like to confirm Marge Allens' relationship to the Merritt Island Pottery. I also have pieces with the
same clay body and glazes and shapes marked "Sara" "Steph" and "Trica". Can anyone out there
supply me with any info on these ladies and their relationship, if any to the Merritt Island Pottery?
Thanks in advance.
