She was Mary Jane Akers Butts, and she and Aquilla were married 7-4-1865 and had three children together - Henry, Laura (who married Charles Schultz) and Thomas. I'm interesting in discovering Aquilla's ancestors, and if anything looks familiar I'd sure appreciate your information. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
