Wilhelm Heinrich Drake was born Oct 25, 1832 in Minden, Germany, His obituary says "born in Pennsylvania" but it may have been the need to be an "American" that prompted this through his life. The birth year on his stone is also incorrect. He arrived in the USA as a 2 year old boy on the ship Neptune in October 1834 at the port of New York with his family.
(see image of ship's log, I also have the German birth records).
The family, as best as I can tell moved directly after landing at the Port of New York to Dearborn County, Indiana where the family log cabin stood into the 2000's. The Drakes then moved to Dayton, Ohio in 1849 and William and his family moved to Springfield, Illinois in about 1858, Lewis stayed behind in Dearborn to work the land as a farmer.
The Drake family of Springfield occupied the same house until the last daughter, Annie Pearl Drake, died there in 1950. There is a fire station on the land where the house once stood at 827 E. Capitol Way, right across the street from President Lincoln's Estate.
