Hi Diana, My William is first found in Shawneetown, Gallatin Co. Illinoi 1809. His children are: William, Thomas, Susannah, George W. by first wife unknown. By second wife: John, Flavius Josephus & Andrew Jackson. I have been unable to locate the first William's birth place/date. Many of the names of Akers on this list are similar but have made no connection yet. Ever hopeful! Arlene Hetchler Arizona --- Gramidoll@aol.com wrote: > Arlene, > Who was your William married to?
