Does anyone have information about the AKERS families in Shelbyville, IL? My great-grandmother, Drusilla Akers Curry, died there in 1924 but I haven't been able to connect her to any Akers there. I believe she had a brother named William as there was a William Akers living with Drusilla and her husband, Robert Curry, in the Coles Co. 1860 census. Drusilla was 23 yrs. old at the time and Wm. was 20. Drusilla's death certificate states that she was born in OH and her parents were Samuel Aker and Catherine Ward, both born in IN. I've been unable to find any info. for either of them. Would sure appreciate any help at all. Nancy Young in MN
