David, I have sent in responses to many such requests in the past and
erroneously assumed you knew these books! This book is called,"Portrait
and Biographical Album of Henry County, Illinois"["containing
Biographical Sketches of prominent and Representative Citizens of the
County"] ["together with Portraits and Biographies of all the
Governors of Illinois and he Presidents of the United States"]
["also containing a history of the County, from its earliest settlement
to the present time"]
Chicago Biographical Publishing Company 1885

I also have a similar book dated 1901...
I believe that most of the members of this list are attempting to find
out more about their ancestors. There are many who , like my self and
others, share what we know freely and usually quite quickly! I also
have Biographies from the above book on Charles C., J.K., Sylvester and
William H. BLISH. Might you have those already? Want any or all?
