Here is another take on the family of Richard Akers. We have William Akers (son of Robert Akers and Sarah) married to Eleanor Lanning of Hunterdon NJ. This is based on a DAR record copied from a family bible and a will left by William who died in 1814 in nearby PA. The Lannings were also married into the Hart families. All of this ties together quite well. Craig Herron ggggrandson of Rachel Akers b.

I have not independently gotten a 2nd source for any of this info and the statement that Aaron Keeler Akers had a brother named Aron looks a little suspicious. There was also another child or Aaron Akers listed in Harold Helm's file but the surname was strange and I did not include it. David G Akers b NY abt 1822 m Nancy Phoebe Hollembeak in 1843 and is found in 1860 census for Adams County, IL. Their children are listed as Hannah (my great-grandmother), George, and Emeline, all born IL. this might be George's son.
