Surnames: AKERS COLLINGS Submitter: Sandra Akers Dole (tdole@softcom.net) Date: 16 Dec 2001 I need verification on the death of Bedy Akers in Mercer County, MO, in 1846 or 1847. Bedy was born in KY and married Lydia Collings. Was a son, Abraham Harvey Akers born in Mercer County or Chariton County, MO, in 1841? Were these counties combined at that time? Thanks for any info you can supply me.
