I am also trying to figure out who William Akers (1776-1850) father was. I am a descendent of William Akers through his son John Clement Akers and I grew up in Iowa. Family records that have been handed down tell me that William Akers' full name was William Clement Akers (1776-1850). I have some dates to add for a few of the children. 2. Rebecca (Died 3-30-1885) 5. William (Died 4-11-1839) 6. Denmon (Died 4-4-1824) Family papers say that William Akers' (1776-1850) father was another William Akers but lists him as having been born in Germany in 1755. I do not know how accurate this is and I have not been able to substantiate it so far. I've considered the possibility that the William Clement is the son of William the veteran. I don't know if any of this helps but I will post more as I keep looking into it. --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See how.
