I am an Akers and my great grandfather, Andrew Jackson Akers, was born in Adams Co., IL. The son of William and Ann Sammons Akers. On the 1850 census, there is a William in the household. The oldest born about 1832 in Ohio. I have not done much work on him. I feel however that he is a son of William by a former unknown wife. There is a marriage on Oct. 21, 1852 of a William Akers to Sarah Sammons. In the little amount of research I have done there are a number of middle initials. H, N, W and B. I can't believe there were that many William Akers in Adams Co. in 1850 :-) However anything is possible. I have been away from my genealogy for some time now and will have to look up what I have on him and check my sources. If this sounds like what you are looking for and are interested, I will be glad to share with you.
