Akers in New York State NOTE: This is information that I have gathered online and elsewhere from all of you. For those of you interested in the German or Dutch Ackers line there is a bunch of information at the Latter Days Saints on microfiche. This seems to be a totally different line so I do not have much of it in my files. There are probably errors and misspellings as well as things that are not capitalized mostly what we are going for here is a quick database showing which Akers were in NY when.

(adjacent county, east of Hector; Ithaca is in Tompkins Co.), also called the Lake Country. Possibly all that land surrounding the Finger Lakes region was known as the "Lake Country." Interestingly enough, Phebe[6] Hart, daughter of Sarah[5] and Timothy[5] Hart (second cousins) married an Obadiah Akers, and they removed to that same Lake Country, with Timothy[5], Israel[6], Hulda[6] and her husband, and Joseph S.[6] and his wife.
