assume she was mistaken on that.) Ricker and Moses daughte r Sarah
was
married to a John E. Adams. Julia Evaline Adams had a brot her
named
John, I'm not sure if that is the same one or not, but I su spect
so.
Simon Akers was married to a Martha but surely she did no t die in
1886,
as Simon was born in 1875 by my records.
Here is a quote you may be interested in which is from th e same
Mary
mentioned above. Mary Akers Comreid said about Ralph Aker s .
"Moses E. Akers' brother Ralph,something happened to his le
g, he limped
- it just got stuck" Did you know that? Mary also said th at
Moses'
first wife died while he was off to the civil war. Did yo u say
you had
some civil war documents?

Prothonotary

Wayne County:
Personally appeared before me the undersigned Justice of the Peace in and for the
County of Wayne William Akers, who being duly sworn deposeth and saith that by reason of
old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as the precise
length of his service, but according to the best of his recollection he served not less
than the two periods mentioned below and in the following grades...
That he entered the service of the United States as a private soldier in the
militia a few days before the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 and was stationed with
his company at the "Blazing Star" Ferry in New Jersey near Woodbridge, but
whether he was enlisted, drafted or volunteered His is at this time from loss of memory
unable to state, but he knows he was in the service from the fact that when he was so
stationed at the Blazing Star his father brought him information of the death of his
brother who was killed in the battle at Long Island. That about the middle of October
following he volunteered in the service as a private for one month at Hunterdon County,
Town of Amwell, New Jersey, being the place of his birth and residence; under the command
of Captain Philip Philllips, Lieut. Andrew Johnson, Colonel Thomas Lowrey commanded the
regiment then, but he was appointed or acted as a commissary - Col. Chamber he believes
then took command. The Generals name was
Dickerson. Was stationed near Woodbridge New Jersey and served out his one month there. He was then classed and drafted for one more month
- his captain's name was David Jones and his brother Thomas Akers was Ensign. He believes that Col. Chambers and Col. Hare had
the command. He was stationed at the same
place on the Raritan River and there served out that month. That he thinks he is correct
--- the time of his entering the service for these two months in the middle of October
from the fact that the last month expired but the day before the British entered New
Jersey and he must have been mistaken in his original declaration in which he stated he
volunteered for one month in August preceding. That
upon the expiration of his last month, he went home and stayed one night when in
consequence of the invasion of the British, he and his whole company and all capable of
bearing arms were ordered out into active service. His company was ordered to march to
Trenton to ferry the troops over the River which they did he being with them. Captain John Phillips and Ensign Thomas Akers he
recollects as his officers. They were
ordered to watch the movements of the British Troops for two or three days near Trenton
and then they joined the Regiment under Col. David Chambers. He remained with the troops
in Hunterdon County until after the Hessians were taken at Trenton
--- we marched to Princeton to secure some plunder. We were then ordered to march to the Raritan River
and were stationed at Vaness Mills to guard that place. There we had a skirmish with the
British and took a number of waggons and cattle. I
obtained permission from General Herd who then had command to go home for three days. On my return at the end of three days I understood
that charges had been preferred against Col. Chambers for --- and I was sent to Princeton
& Morristown as a witness against him and was kept tow or three weeks; The colonel was
broke; Our Major's name was William Chamberlin. After
my return from the trial we were ordered to march to Elizabethtown Point; but before we
reached there the order was countermanded and were marched into Pennsylvania. This was near the last of September 1777. We were ordered to a mill to drive off a British
Guard, which we effected and we followed them to Germantown. The battle of Germantown commenced that day and we
were engaged in it. I had two musket balls
shot through my hat on my head. After the battle of Germantown we were ordered up the
Tulphehocken Creek - Our officers were then Major Chamberlin, Captain John Phillips. Major Chamberlin AHD a son killed in that
battle. The next day after the battle our
troops were discharged from the main army. It
took us two days to go home, and then we were all discharged from military duty. From the time of being ordered out in December
1776 after the expiration of the two months above, until three days after the battle of
Germantown I continued in the service of the United States as a private soldier without
any intermission making a period of nine months and twenty three days thereabouts - About
the 20th of June 1778 I moved to Stroudsburg in Northampton County Pennsylvania - After
the massacre by the Indians at Wyoming, I was drafted in t he Pennsylvania Militia under
Colonel Jacob Stroud and Captain John Bush for one month - We built a fort near
Stroudsburg and kept guard there until I had served my time out, when a Regiment of
Rangers were sent on who took our place and we were discharged.
During the two months in which I first served --- the nine months
and twenty three days afterwards and the one month in the Pennsylvania Militia under Col.
Stroud; making in all Twelve months and --- three days I was not employed in any civil
pursuit and for such services I claim a pension.

Going to our illustrated Wayne of 1900 I found under the heading
"Newfoundland Newfoundland" named By Daniel Stroud who found in that Beautiful
Valley 1900 acres of land unmarked by pre explorers.
The first white man to settle in that vicinity was Denman Coe in
1794. He erected a cat back of F.A. Oppults
residence. William Akers married Mary Coe and
John Clement Akers was the first white child born in Dreher Township. The valley was settled by Germans and called Dutch
Flats

Notes for John Akers:
I am not sure if this is a correct ancestor may have been from
Amwell Township
The following is from
Dbe754@cs.com
You will find that most printed sources say that John's father
was Simon II, but as GMNJ said in its early article, there is NO PROOF for the supposition
that Rev. Shearer made. Furthermore, a record
of the church in Maidenhead, has baptismal record for John, the son of William A
(unfortunately the page was torn), but there was no other family whose surname started
with A, other than the Andersons in the area at the time and I've never found a record for
a William Anderson. I can't logically explain
the Simon Akers who d. in 1722 whose estate was administered by Simon, although I'd like
to think that some court clerk simply made a mistake.
I can find no further information about the first William Akers in Hopewell
after 1722.
Monette also claimed that the William who came to Maidenhead was
the son of Desiretruth and John Akers of MA. I
calculated once that if that were so, he'd have been in his teens when the 1698 agreement
was signed for Maidenhead's meeting house. Also,
I found William Akers witnessing a deed in Newtown between a Phillips and Hunt, both of
whom were 1698 Maidenhead settlers a couple years earlier.
It's unlikely that a teenager would have been a witness for a legal
documents much less party to the 1698 agreement.
I haven't done much with the Akers for several years, but I
didn't want to send information without those couple cautions.
You may want to check this website:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/nj/hunterdon/hunterdon.htm
Look under court cases for the case involving Thomas Akers. It mentions your William coming to visit his
mother.
Anyway, the descendency chart from John and Martha Akers follows
my signature. ( I descend from Thomas and
Ruth Akers). In a separate email, I will paste some of the documentation, especially for
your line.
Enjoy!

Robin,
Documentation that I've gathered on some early Akers follows. It gets a bit dicey with all the Williams in the
18th century. Michael Caldwell has done a lot
with Robert's line and I think he believes the William who d. about 1815 in Hunterdon is
Robert's son, the only one of Robert's children not to have gone to Bedford Co., Pa.
I'll see if I transcribed your William Akers' pension application
and send it as an attachment.
