I would like the information on the book you are talking about. Contact me at tkrob@ria.net My ggrandfather Thomas Robertson was married to Synthia Ann Eslinger. They lived in Webster County, Mo. In the 1860 census Jacob and Telitha Eslinger live next to them. I think that Jacob is her father. In the same census is a William Eslinger 30 who lists Iowa as his place of birth.
