Anita, I have tried several times to tie my line in with your line here in Akersville. I know several descendants that live close by me and we visit every once in a while. They are direct lineage to your line. We are 10 years off in the birth dates....and I have to go pull my records, but my George Washington Akers married a Mary Larick in Cedar Co., Iowa and his mother, Jane Galen is located in Iowa in 1870 (?) with her son G.W. Akers and appearantly a brother to G.W. named James. My obituary for Geo. Wash. states that there were 15 children in the family. Do you have any such information in your records? His father is: William or B. F. Akers, born PA His mother is: Jane Galen-foreign birth In talking with a few of the people of your line, you are missing a William and I have a William to place....but does my William(or B.F.Akers) fit your slot? That's the question. I have not confirmed the name, I have seen it on docs both ways; William and B.F....but Williams' are often called 'Bill' so I thought that might be the case. Let me know what you think, Diana Akers Anxious Knowles
