Lynnea, I do not have an original copy of Wm. Akers' pension file. I'm just going off of a transcribed copy of it and the transcribed copy states that William Bortree is a relative of the heirs of Akers as stated in my last e-mail. Do you have an original copy of his pension file? Unfortunately, I do not have his will or probate records. This will require more digging on our parts.

My copy of William Akers' pension file does not state that Mr. Bortree is related to the heirs of Wm. Akers, only that he is a petitioner for the Akers' family. (Perhaps I did not receive all of the pages?) I have found no connection between Bortree and the Akers, other than they resided in the same neighborhood of Sterling Twp., Wayne Co., PA.

Yes, I agree! I assume you are referring to the 1820 and 1830 Federal census which only lists the head of the household and only lists the ages of other males and females within the household. I have not checked these census records records myself, but I will look again. I have also read the pension application of William the veteran. At the end, it mentions a "Mr. Wm. Bartree, a relative to the heirs of Akers". Any idea who this guy is and if he can substantiate William the veteran being the father of William (1776-1850)?

Hi, all~ Since we're doing Williams, I'll mention my brick wall William, just in case somebody knows something new? He was most likely born in Pa. or Va., according to the 1880 census. He md. 2nd in 1828 Elizabeth (Todd?), b. Ky.? She d. 1830-40 Gallatin Co., Ill. He died in 1841, by Aug. 28, in Gallatin Co. He had a goodly assortment of children, including Andrew Jackson, b. 1829. Other names that come up in Gallatin and White counties, Ill., where they lived, naturally include Thomas, William, John and the unusual Flavius Josephus. Does anybody know anything on this guy? I hope that everyone has a bountiful Thanksgiving. ~Joni Pontius, Seneca Falls, NY

There is a family history written on what I recall as being the Akers-Shearer line. I can't vouch for its accuracy, but you may be able to get it through the LDS family history centers.

Hi! I thought it was him...? I have the census...? but he is NOWHERE to be found anywhere else after or previous to the 1910 census!!? I did find a Ben H Akers, age 4, in TN, in 1900, but if you do the math, this one could NOT have been the father of Eldridge Wayne Akers. Looks like he was "married" to Lida when she was 14 or 15...? hmmmm...? Might have been a "marriage on paper" only. I found records for Lida today.? Eugenia Eliza "Lida" HAWKINS b. 1894 d. 1984 in Columbia Co., Florida.? Evidently, she was a native Floridian. She later married twice, once to a Kilpatrick and once to a Flannigan.? She had a child with Kilpatrick, but I didn't find any issue with Flannigan. Maybe, (what do you think?) my friend needs to order a copy of Eldridge's application for a social security number to see what might be there about his father.? Might also need to obtain a copy of the application for marriage license from Hillsborough County for Lida and Ben... This line really has be totally baffled! Any ideas, anyone??
