I have tried the major on line book sellers with no luck. My great great grandfather was Samuel Brookhart who was born in Fairfield Co Ohio in 1829 and died in Mercer Co Ohio in 1916. I have never been able to determine who Samuels father was, but believe that he may be a descendant of Abraham who settled in nearby Athens co. in 1811. I was fascinated to learn that Abraham served in the Revolutionary War. I have come across many references to Abraham in my research, but had never come across any previous references to Revoutionary War service. Any help with the Whitman book or any leads regarding Samuel would be greatly appreciated. Thanks , Jim Brookhart
