Date: Sunday, 21 February 1999 4:54 Hi, All. I am new to the Drake list and I am looking for the ancestors of Almira DRAKE, who was my ggrandfather's first wife, to share with his descendants on the Hoisington Mailing List. The information I have on her is: Almira DRAKE (b. 22 Jul 1823 NY, d. 1 May 1858 MN, possibly Fillmore Co.) m. Jesse Hawkins HOISINGTON (b. 23 Jun 1824 Amesville, Athens Co. OH, d. 23 Aug 1894 nr. Anson, Sumner Co. KS) on 8 Nov 1848 in Athens Co. OH. She was the daughter of Jonathan DRAKE and Lydia MOSS Drake. I have a lot of information on their children (Charles, Lydia Mahalia, Louisa A., Franklin Benjamin, and William Andrew Jackson) that I would be more than willing to share. Harriette Jensen
