My mother was Stella Adell Cravens, her mother was Stella Idell Akers, daughter of Larkin Neanian Akers and Ida Louetta King. Larkin's father was George W. Akers from Putnam County, Indiana. He was married to Margaret Matilda Steele. George's father was Thomas Akers. I would have to dig out my Akers work to see what the lineage was prior to that, but if this is your family, then we are cousins.
