Gayle,
I also have the book, but have been unable to contact the author in the last year.
This is my connection - Zerdo is my grandfather. Who do you descend from?
Louis Carrier (1808-1886)
Nelson Coyer (1831-1915)
Seymour Coyer (1852-1927)
Olive Ester Coyer (1882-1909)
Zerdo James Benson (1905-1968)
