Date: Saturday, 12 June 1999 8:36 Hello, I'm new to the list and am excited to have found all of you. My Drake ancestor is Joseph Addison Drake of Shelby County, Indiana. His father has been reported (via family stories) as Issac Drake, but I also have leads on an Ithamar Drake. So here's the stats: Joseph Addison Drake, born March 18, 1829 died Effingham County, Illinois. married first Catherine Mow, 2/9/1848 in Shelby County,IN married second Rachel Hodson Does this ring a bell with anyone researching Drakes in Illinois/Indiana?
