My gg grandfather Sylvester Martin was born in Bruce Illinois in 1854. I have located him in a census in 1880 ,working as a farm hand. On a GED Com file his father is listed as James but I have nt been able to contact the file owner to confirm this info. Does anyone have any info on Sylvester prior to 1880. I don't even know if he had siblings. Any help would be appreciated Michelle Robinson
