I'm looking for information on David C. Rakestraw and Sarah E. Lame. From David C.
Rakestraw's pension records, it claims David was born in Ohio around 1829, and I do
know that David's family lived and owned land in Tippecanoe County. It lists
Sarah's birthdate as 13 August 1850, Attica, Fountain, Indiana. She married David on
26 October 1865 in Champaign Co. Illinois. The pension records also say that David died at
Attica in 1873. They have 2 children Mary Ellen born 1869 in Illinois, and Charles
Franklin born in 1871 in Indiana, but there is no more specific information that will help
me in my research. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding them. Thanks
