If anyone has a copy of the Wm Akers of NJ @1698 book, would you please check and see if William or Clement Akers is listed as married to Mary Coe, daughter of Denman Coe? Thanks for any help.

I have never gotten the Shearer/Akers book. I've only seen records referring to it. You can request the film from Family History Center (LDS). I believe the film is #1036050. You can also order the book from Higginson Book Company, P.O. Box 778, Salem, MA 01970, or email higginsn@cove.com for about $25. There are two other books on Akers genealogies, both can be purchased or films ordered from FHC: Akers Family of Franklin Co., VA, by AE Akers Our Kinsfolk (descendants of Wm. Akers of NJ @1698) by WR Akers. FHC film #1697554 is another one I have listed but not viewed. "Genealogy of Wm. Tobias Phillips" is suppose to have 14 generations of Akers from 1653-1989. Perhaps someone from the list can recommend one of the above as being more accurate than the other two/three. I would like to share info with you on your line, particularly the Hart line if you're willing.

That's solid enough for me, the bible part. Families can have a date wrong. But the certainly know their immediate family.

ALICE Can you send me a copy of the Harts when you send stuff to Ardie? Craig
I'm afraid I've not found anything new. Most of the info I was able to find at the Denver Library was based on the Shearer-Akers book and therefore contained the same inaccuracies. (NJ Historical Society) Did find will of Ralph Hart listing the following children: Benjamin, Samuel, Ralph, Josiah, Mary Carpenter, Sarah Akers, Mercy, Martha Laining, Elizabeth Jones, Abigall Laining. 1. Do you have documented proof of Simon Akers's (167-) children? My info only states it came from Shearer book with no proof. 2. John Akers 1713. I could only find the name of "Martha" as being his wife. I found death of a Wm Acker who died Aug 7, 1793 with a wife of "Ann", could this be John's(1713)son William? 3. Do you have any info showing a Jesse was a child of Wm. and Eleanor Lanning Akers? I didn't find anything listing their children. I only found Wm Akers 1730 as being the wife of Elizabeth Martye (based on the Shearer book again)and only one child, Wm. If you have any "holes" in your info, let me know. Made copies of everything I could find on Akers wills and county records.

John AKERS and his wife, Margaret GRIFFITH (also rendered GRIFFRY), appear in Opelousas, Louisiana, shortly after the Louisiana purchase. They baptised their sons George (b. 1797) and John (b. 1795) at the Opelousas Catholic Church in 1810. George later married Mary REED, and his brother John married first Catherine McKOY and second Sara Rosanna HENRY. The priest recorded that this family had come to Louisiana from "le Détroit du Canada". Does anyone know of a Canadian AKERS family -- perhaps one that fled to Canada after the Revolutionary War because they were Tories? Does anyone know of an AKERS/GRIFFITH or GRIFFREY connection anywhere? -- Mark James <tmark@geocities.com> ________________________________________________________ 1stUp.com - Free the Web Get your free Internet access at http://www.1stUp.com

Ardie Yes I think that is good thinking (name game). I noticed Union co. is quite a way from Hamilton co. Ohio where Jesse and the family were. Wish we could get another good Akers lead. Craig
