DRAKE, John - born c1836, Cass Co, IN (per Civil War Record); md Corintha (QUINCY) CHAPMAN, d/o Daniel Abner & Elmira (Rose-Bell) Chapman, at Antwerp, Paulding Co, OH in 1863, with her half brother, Timothy CHAPMAN, signing for her as she was only 16yrs old, bc 1847. We cannot find John DRAKE in any 1850 census in Indiana or Ohio (other counties checked also). The only census reading we have is in 1870 Paulding Co, OH along with his wife, Corintha and their three children. John DRAKE died February 1879 at Union Co, Illinois; per his Civil War Record with the Ohio Infantry. We know the CHAPMAN family remained in Antwerp, but Corintha moves on to Vigo and Vermillion Co, IN in the 1880s. Does anyone have any John DRAKE with parents that may match the above John? We have searched for his parentage since 1979 with no success. Thank you. Carol Stultz, C. G. Genealogical Research & Publications Danville, IN
