I'm a descendent of Caleb Closson b 1800 through son Albert, and Albert's son Melzer Clausen. I've been trying to get an accurate picture of the family history and seemed to have hit a dead end regarding any documentation other than fellow Ancestry.com family trees. I keep hearing about the "Josiah Closson Family of New England Book" and apparently other variations of the book (or additional Closson family books?), but they are all out of print.
Does anyone have any advice regarding obtaining this book or a CD copy? I've set up alerts on Amazon and eBay, but no such luck so far.
Thanks in advance!

I would also like to find out more about Josiah. The Josiah (or Joshia-1798) that I think is my GG grandfather is the father of George Washington Closson, who is the father of my grandfather, Franklin Eugene Closson. These folks were all around Blue Hill, Hancock County, Maine.
Does this ring a bell for anyone?
