Thankyou cybercat,
After over an hour of searching for a library nearby
that might have a copy of the book, I finally just
typed the author's name into google and found a
company that has it reproduced on CD for $40. I'll
have to settle for that, the only other I found was
$200, printed but with distorted charts and graphics.

been about 63." Well the old rascal, Obed, married
a
second wife in the mid-1780's, and father 4 more
children
by the second wife.
O'Gorman is probably correct. She personally met and
talked to Obed's grandson, Peyton Calvert, in 1921.
Peyton was the 7th child of Rhodam. Rhodam was not
helpful in providing information; however the
genealogy of
Obed's family is well document. Peyton insisted the
name was spelled as Colbert as shown on the census
records.
Rhodam had 3 wives and 13 children. His father,
Obed, is
shown as having 10 children in O'Gorman's book;
however O'Gorman acknowledges that there could be
more (unknown) daughters by the first wife.
