The 1850 census showing John age 15 places his birthdate as the same as my gggrandfather
John H(enry) Achor. I strongly feel that this family you have listed is my John's
family. After the 1850 census, John H Achor married Jemima Knox Anderson and lived in
Martin County near the Raglesville area. I found on the internet today another son of
Abraham, William b 1824 who married in IN but migrated to MO the same year-1846 (History
of Lincoln County, Missouri, page 499-Chicago: Goodspeed Publishing Co., 1888). A land
patent was issued to Abraham Akers in Lawrence County IN on 7/01/1857 so that confirms the
residency in Lawrence County. He must have sold that land almost immediately and moved
across Martin County into Daviess County as five of his sons were in the Civil War with a
group of other Raglesville (Daviess County) men. Thanks for your information. It is most
helpful.
