Don't think so. My Thomas Akers shows up in the Monroe Co census later after it is formed from Barren - I think 1820 (I'm away from my data.) He does disappear after that and I don't know where he went. I believe he and George were brothers, but I'm not really sure. I have some correspondance from several years ago I will post later this evening - that gives some tax info and some land info. He may have disappeared, but it would have been after 1810 for sure.
