Earl, It is either Sarah Martha who married Reed Belcher (my 2nd great grandfather) or her other daughter, Nancy E. Akers who married Edward Jeffereson "Jeff" Belcher, son of Harden Belcher. Harden Belcher was Reed Belcher's brother. Have a great day, David Conner. -----Original Message----- From: Ebasr@aol.com [mailto:Ebasr@aol.com] Sent: Saturday, January 30, 1999 10:26 AM To: VAPATRIC-L@rootsweb.com Subject: BELCHER/AKERS Who is M.E. Belcher? Somewhere, probably on this list, I picked up information that M.E. Belcher was the informant for her mother's death record. Her mother was Agnes Houchins Akers, died 2 Apr 1884. I have a daughter of Agnes, Sarah, married to Reed Belcher, and I have a daughter Mary unmarried. Did daughter Mary also marry a Belcher? Best wishes, Earl B. Akers, Sr. Puyallup WA
