Note: arried 28 April 1850 in Scotland Co. He was a blacksmith, according to census records, and I would think that "Axel" would be a good nick-name for a blacksmith (who would have worked on wagon axles) named Achillis! He is listed as a child of George and Mary Forrester in old family notes and I would think that he is likely the "Uncle Axel" that his niece, Effie (Forrester) Mayfield, mentioned.
A discrepancy: census information indicates (erroneously) that his father was born in Kentucky:
1880 Federal Census, Edina, Knox Co., MO
Achilis Forrester, 49 blacksmith b. KY, father b. KY, mother b. KY
Martha Forrester, 44 wife b. KY, father b. KY, mother b. KY
Alice E. Forrester, 16 dau. b. MO, father b. KY, mother b. KY
George M. Forrester, 14 son b. MO, father b. KY, mother b. KY.
