I have Akelius Alexander born somewhere in NC who was married to a Betsey A. b 1812 VA. By the 1830s they have been in Tennessee in Cannon County settling in Hollis Creek area. The children I know of are James (b 1835) William (b 1838) and Elizabeth. Has any other researcher come across any AKELIUS variations? thanks claudia
