Jimmy Akers, Below I have a outline of my wife's Akers line. I have been told that in the Halls of Floyd Co. book you mention below that it has a listing of Henry Clay Akers and his 3 wives and many children. This is suspose to be on page 898. I have been unable to obtain all of the children and was wandering if you could furnish me with them. Where do you connect in this line? thanks james ............................................................ 1.Willian Akers I, b.abt 1640 ..sp.
