At one time I tried to find a Thomas Akers born in Maine in about 1770, without success. Family stories say that he may have been born in Belfast, Ireland. My idea had been that he might have been born in Belfast, Maine, since his wife, Martha Mitchell, was from Maine. They both died in Louisiana -- Thomas in 1815, and Martha in 1819. Is Thomas a name that appears in your Maine Akers line at all? -- Mark James <tmark@geocities.com>

Seeking information on Sylvester Akers one of Capt. William Clarke Quantrill's Missouri Guerrillas, Civil War. Need to know full names and dates of birth and death, and place of burial, parents names, full names, middlenames, photos, military service records. Please make corrections to the following; Sylvester Akers, born Dec 6, 1832, Floyd Co, KY, married April 15,1852, Jackson Co, MO, to Melvina A. Pearsons, he died Oct 20, 1912, Independence, MO, buried Pleasant Prairie Church Cemetary, Napoleon, Lafayette Co, MO. He was son of Solomon Akers Jr. and Matilda Meade?

This is info I had that someone asked for. I don't have any dates or I would have been happy to include them. I don't connect to these lines but sometimes little snatches of information can give someone a lead and/or rule out some others. I understand the need for source documentation but when I started I didn't keep sources on family's I didn't think belong to my line. Instead of answering the person directly to their mailbox I post in case someone else can add to it or is interested. Pattie

Sorry All my Akers are from Michigan.

Valentine, Solomon and Blackburn are listed in the Montgomery County, Virginia 1782 Tax List or Census. Valentine and Solomon are the children of Blackburn. Solomon is mentioned in his grandfather's (John Blackburn???) will. William Akers is Blackburn's father, but I don't believe the William mentioned by Pheonixrayne@aol.com. This William is supposewdly the William of Franklin County, VA. Blackburn's father lived in Amelia County (I Think????) Got to get my records out. I am a descendent of Blackburn and of Nathaniel from the below line. Trying to figure the AKERS out is a mess. Dan Fisher Phoenixrayne@aol.com wrote: > Debbie, William Akers m.

Joe, I don't know which post you are referring to. I post to a lot of surname boards. Daniel Akers is not in my line (at least not that I know of). I was posting several Daniel's for someone else. I looked to find what you wanted. If this isn't it see if you can find what book or folder I took the info from on that particular post. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From : Akers Family by June Rebecca (Akers) Tozer Archibald Akers m.

I may be able to find out where I saw the book if you need me to. There are more generations down if you are related to any of these. Hope it helps. Pattie

It would be so helpful if you could include dates and location. There are so many Akers of the same names. thanks, Suzanne Phoenixrayne@aol.com wrote: > > Debbie, William Akers m.

I asked my mother if she new anything about her great grandfather John Akers, she said no. So I have no way of knowing if he was a Methodist Minister or not. Wish I did know more. Karen

Sorry, I thought I was writing directly to Ken Akers.

Hello, I got sidetracked. I am sending the page out this afternoon. If you don't get it by Wednesday let me know. Peace and blessings, Pattie

Hi all, I have noticed alot of messages about some Akers book. Can someone tell me about the book ??? I am looking for the parents of an Adam Akers born ca 1828 in VA - married Nancy Jane Edwards in Floyd Co. VA in 1851. They moved to other counties and had 5 girls. They moved to Kanawha Co, WV and had 2 more kids. Thanks for everyone's time. Robin Amerson

I will send it out tomorrow afternoon. No need for an envelope - happy to share. Pattie

Hi Pattie, Yes, RD is a cousin in my line. His ancestor Moses D. Akers was a brother to my ancestor, Ralph Akers. I would like to get a copy of the page from the book, sounds interesting, thanks. Would you like me to send a stamped envelope? I was able to open up the image you sent, but couldn't read the words, and the images were blurry. Thanks for trying! Ken Akers 6937 42nd Ct. E.
