Ann, What was the name of your grandmother. I am researching an AKERS line that left VA and settled in MO. Many of these also settled in OK as well. I remember visiting some AKERS in Ada, OK as a child but I don't remember who they were, just that the family was an uncle and aunt of my father, or perhaps grandfather. I do know that a great uncle, William Walter Dolen Akers, served as a medic or physician in the War with Spain. He later lived in Tyrone, OK and owned either a pharmacy or doctor's office, W.D. Akers and Son. In my searching I came upon an article entitled "My Father the Investigator", by Audrey Bess Akers, in a publication called Dusty Trails. This woman's grandfather was a James A. Akers, b. 1835 in Franklin Co., VA who married Martha Ann Helen Owens, b. 1846 in Russell Co., VA. They married in Sullivan Co., TN and lived for a time in Washington Co., VA. James A. was a physician and moved his family to MO in 1885. A son, Arthur Cline AKERS, b. 1869 in VA married Lucy Alice Bell May 27, 1893. Their son, Luther Virgil Akers, known as Virgil, became a federal agent during the depression. The family lived in various places but one was El Reno, OK. Hope this rings some bells out there.
