I know that an Akers passed through Seneca County early; maybe this is he? Dr. W. G. Egle, state librarian of Pennsylvania in 1898, published "Egle's notes and queries". On a list of Pennsylvania-German settlers who arrived in Fayette township, Seneca County, New York between 1800 and 1810 appears the name of Jacob Acker. Family members' names do not appear, only the head of the family. I have looked in Seneca County deeds, and no Akerses appear. ~Joni
