I am constantly checking the genforum and anything else I can. I do not know for sure that I need to research the Akin line. One of my gr-gr grandmothers was Loisa Formby. I believe her grandfather was Nicolas Formby who married Thomas Akin's dau Sarah Akin in VA or GA. None of the Formby lines contain my Loisa Formby but I feel sure that she is part of the Akin line somehow. Ann Wise
