This is for all of those seeking parents of Almon Akers (b. @1825) of Adams County, IL: As a lark, I searched for the SURNAME of Almon to see if anything popped up, thinking Almon may have been named for his mother's side. One of the first names that came up was Francis A. Almon born 1800's (genforum). He also had a son named Albert Francis Almon. Our Almon Akers, of course named his first born daughter, Francis A. Akers. A few quiries show Almons were in VA>OH>IN>IL roughly the same time as our Akers. Interested in hearing from anyone else who may have pursued this avenue...or from anyone else who may think I'm way off track! _______________________________________________________________________ Free Unlimited Internet Access!
