This sounds like it may possibly be connected to my family of Akers, however I looked in my file and Have not found him listed. I will keep searching for him for you though. Jeanne elyandra - AIM name Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2004 07:13:29 EST From: EPOLISENA@aol.com To: AKERS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: AKERS/NOELL Am trying to find information about the parents of my Great Great Grandparents Jesse & Julia AKERS. Jesse married Julia Francis (or Frances) NOELL, b. May 1830; in Pulaski Co., VA on May 25, 1853. Jesse was in the Civil War, enlistment date; April 17, 1862, and died in Graham (now Bluefield), VA in Jan., 1902. They lived most of their married lives in Tazewell County, VA. I have copy of Julia's war pension application in which she says she had, in 1902, lived in Tazewell about 50 years, she was 72 at that time and was born in a place that I cannot decipher due to poor handwriting. They had several children born in Pulaski County in the 1850s and I have also found them in Hicksville, Tazewell County in 1860 which is not Bland County. Other families I am researching: ADDINGTON, ARMSTRONG, BARKER, BAILEY, BISHOP, COUCH, DINGUS, DOFFLEMOYER, EDWARDS, ERWIN, FAIRBURN, FRALEY, GIBSON, GRIMES, HINER, KILGORE, KINDALL, LAWSON, LEACH, McGUIRE, MULLENS, MOORE, PARSON, PENNINGTON, RAMEY, RATLIFF, RINGLEY, RITCHIE, ROBBINS, SPEERS, STAPLETON, WEBB, ZIESKE ______________________________ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
