Glennice, Yes, Indeed! I have had several in Iowa. My Geo Wash Akers was married in Cedar, Co. in 1864 to Mary Larick and had their first born, William Henry in Mahaska County on April 22, 1867. George Franklin Akers, my great grandfather was born in July 21, 1870. Mary took a wagon train with her folks to Colorado where she died in 1874 after birthing Daisy B. Akers in 1873. The kids got split u, but Geo. Wash returned to Iowa and remained there until he died in Rosehill, Mahaska Co., in 1910. Doe anything fit? Geo Wash was a gad about....had several wives, sometimes at the same time and could easily have had chidlren by others. Who knows! Got any documentations? Anxious to hear from you. Diana
