The map really only shows the town with the street layouts and the buildings and a code that tells who the buildings belongs to. I don't think it shows anything beyond just the town. I will look and see if I see anything else. I have another map that may show him, and I will pull it out and look at it for you. That one may have him. I am going out of town tomorrow and will be back Tuesday AM. If you don't hear from me, please write and tell me what I was going to do for you! I get a bit "senile" from time to time!!! It does seem that I've read something on an Andrew WILSON, but it may be bec. I have a WILLSON line, and I'm just confused! Godspeed... Dolores M.
