Ken, I have seen a few sites on Rootsweb that list Ned as a son of Elijah. I have the obit for Elijah Akers written by his children and it does not mention a "Ned". Most of the sites that list the children for Elijah and Cynthia Jane Akers list 13 children. None of these have a "Ned" Thanks, ruagore@msn.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Akers" <kenakers@worldnet.att.net> To: <AKERS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 8:10 PM Subject: Re: Akers from Floyd and Pike Co Ky >A websites on Rootsweb lists Ned's lineage as: > NED9 AKERS (ELIJAH E.8, LEVI7, DAVID DANIEL6, VALENTINE5, BLACKBURN4, > WILLIAM3, WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) He married NETTIE ELAM.
