Hello Greg, I think I recall the name Pose, but I will check that out. My Grandmother came from Virginia and was born approx. 1892. The area of Virginia was close to the Tennessee border, but I'll check. She had brothers and sisters. Margaret or Peggy(as she was known) was one and maybe the only sister and my Grandmother was Catherine Rebecca Ann Akers or Katherine Rebecca Ann Akers. She moved to Frederick, Oklahoma in her early teens with her Mother and Father and siblings. I am away on vacation but will check out her Father's name when I return home.

At the same time the Jesse Akers family (originally from NJ via NY to OH) was living nearby. Anybody claim these Akers? Craig Herron gggggrandmother was Rachel Akers, d/o of Jesse Akers m. William T.
