Nina -
I am not related to this family. James M Achor has an entry in Goodspeed's History of
Daviess County, IN. It states that he is the son and 8th child of Abraham and Nancy
Ellis Achor. He was born in KY and moved with his parents to Lawrence Co., In and then
Daviess County. He was a doctor.
The family first appears in the 1860 Daviess county census, page 852. This entry lists A.
Achor, Nancy, Duncan age 20, Martha P., age 16 and Benjamin age 10.
The family may be the family listed as Akers in the 1850 Lawrence Co., IN cenus, Shawswich
Twp., pg 402.
Abraham Akers age 58, Nancy age 45, David age 18, Mary J. age 20, John age 15, Isaac
age13, Duncan age 11, Joseph age 9, James age 7, Martha E. age 5 and Benjamin F. age 1.
There is also a Mary Jones age 40 in the household.
Hope this helps.
