Bob, I received info on Silas Martin's descendants that you had sent to Les Finn. It is great. Do you know if there are current descendants of the Martin, Wright, McKenzie families living in Whiteside County today.? I am anxious to locate somebody who would have info on Silas Martin's parentage. In addition, do you know if the book, ""Biographical Record" which contains notes on citizens of early Whiteside Co. would be in print and for sale. Several of my peoiple are listed in it. Thanks, Mary Lou Finn
