My earliest AKERS family member is Thomas AKERS who married Martha "Patsy" BUSH about 1801. Their daughter Mary AKERS, married Thomas PARE in 1823. They were in Barren Co, KY by 1801. I lost quite a bit of information about a year and a half ago in a computer crash, but at that time I had hints that Thomas was the son of Abner AKERS, but no proof. I also was looking for Thomas and Patsy's children. If anyone is familiar with this family, I would love to correspond. I have kind of neglected researching this family and am starting with pretty skeletal data. Thanks!
