Higginson Book Company, 148 Washingon St. P.O. box 778, Salem MA 01970, E-Mail:[email protected]I haven't contacted them yet, but you might give them a try.The Allen Co library has a copy which I partially xeroxed.My Shipleys moved from MD to IN in the 1840s or earlier. John Wesley Shipley, son of Adam, son of Charles, son of Robert, son of Adam the first, was my great great great grandfather.I just made this connection on my visit to IN where I read the book and actually found the cemetery where John Wesley's son Nelson and many of his family were buried.Would be glad to share more information with you if you are interested.I think I also borrowed the microfilm version of the book from the Family History Library in my own county, which would be a way to borrow and copy the book if you have an LDS library near you.It takes about 3 weeks to get microfilm from Salt Lake City, but its worth the wait.
