Hopefully, you are far enough along on your research to know the names of a few collateral ancestors. Look for family histories on those folks in hopes of finding a mention of your ancestor and a new tidbit of info on them.
The same thing goes with county and local histories. Your ancestor's sibling, grandchild, business partner, etc. may have had his/her bio published in one of these books. There is a chance that your ancestor could receive anything from a brief mention to a detailed biographical sketch with in the article. [It has happened twice with the same ancestor for me!]
