DILLBECK/AKINS
This does not concern my family, but I thought the information would be useful to someone.
Genealogical information written on the opening blank page of an old herbal medicine book.
Horton Howard. An Improved System of Botanic Medicine. In Three Volumes. Third edition, revised and corrected. Columbus, Ohio: Published by the Proprietors, 1836.
Inside Cover and on the back of the last page, the following is written with an old, sepia ink:
Dr. Freeman Dillbeck

On the back of the last page, in a hand identical to the inside cover:
Dr. Freeman Dillbeck
Comments:
Horton Howard, MD, followed the Thomsonian or physiomedical approach to herbal medicine which was popular c. 1825-c. 1900
The book was originally owned by Dr. Freeman Dillbeck, perhaps c. 1860. It then passed to his daughter (or neice?) Nancy Ann Dillbeck Akins (1870-1950). She married George Akins (b. 1868), son of Charles and Sarah (Stephens) Akins (married 1860). Then follow various marriage records of, apparently, the children of Charles and Sarah, then various marriage records of the children of George and Nancy Ann, then apparently a marriage from the next generation (Carl Akins and Alice Ballard).
Not a descendent, but as the owner of the book, I would be interested to know if anyone knows these people?
