FYI

I just got a book from Barnes & Noble: "Bonds of Enterprise: John 
Murray Forbes and Western Development in America's Railway Age" by 
John Lauritz Larson.  I did a search on the net on John Murry 
Forbes.  John Murry Forbes was the prominent Boston financier who 
served as CB&Q's president for a few years in the 1800's and was 
instrumental in securing the investments that built the Burlington.  
I think he was an uncle to Charles Elliot Perkins.  

A site on the Forbes family of Boston states that John Murray Forbes 
was a brother to the great grandfather of Senator John Forbes Kerry.
