I've not found any evidence for it yet. William Clement Akers (m. Polly Coe) was listed as having been born in New Jersey on the 1850 Federal census. This is the same area where John and Martha Akers lived and I believe their son, William Sr. (revolutionary war veteran) was William Clement's father. I believe that the name Akers is English in origin and not German. Everything that I have read about it suggests this. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
