Answer 1

I use Inter-Library Loan through my local library to borrow books that my library doesn't have. Occasionally a book isn't available (the owning library won't lend, for example). Inter-Library Loan is extremely useful.

Other than that, have you looked on Amazon and eBay?

Looks like Amazon and AbeBooks don't have it in stock. Pity.

And don't forget to search http://books.google.com. It's surprising what's out there.

There is pdf of the file at:

Unfortunately the link didn't work, but from reading it, it looks like cemetery listings.  Are you sure it's a PDF of a book titled A Family History of Thomas Martin Sr, a North Carolinian American Revelutionary Solider?

It's not a text.  It's a genealogy file of about 60 pages with 8 generations of the descendants of Kinchen Thomas Martin Sr - with spouses/children etc.  

If the previous link doesn't work for you.  Try this from google search.  When I do that, the first one  is from ncgenweb-data - and the pdf is there.

Thank you, the second link did work, but "Kitchen" Thomas Martin is not in my family tree. The book I'm looking for is 385 pages about Thomas Martin. I appreciate your post.

There is a copy available on Amazon:

Thank you for letting me know, but on Monday I purchased the book for $20. I guess I was very lucky I found it when I did, the seller on Amazon wants $250.
