Lived in N. J. *** This Robert Akers is not the father of William who married Elizabeth Martye. William who married Elizabeth was a son of another Robert Akers who was in the Tidewater area of Virginia. Both the Shearer-Akers and "Our Kinfolks" genealogies have 'misplaced' this line of Akerses. The reason I am certain about this is that the Robert Akers above married Sarah Hart, and I've been working on these Harts for well over a decade. Robert and Sarah (Hart) Akers did go to Virginia (Loudon County), but only for a short while before moving on the Bedford County, PA. If you use Seharer-Akers or Our Kinfolks, Beware--they contain numerous inaccuracies. Be sure to verify and document everything you find/use, for accuracy.
