Akers & Coe families of Wayne Co., PA
I am researching the family of Akers/Ackers and Coe of Wayne Co., PA. I am a descendant of John Clement Akers, born in
Dreher Twp, Wayne Co., May 20, 1804, per the following:
Information from; Mrs. Ida Mae D. Roe, RD#l, Hawley, Penn. 18428
Going to our Illustrated Wayne of 1900, I found under the heading, "Newfoundland. The first white man to settle in that vicinity
was Denman Coe in 1794. He erected a cabin just back of F.A.. Oppults residence. William Akers married one of Mr. Coe's
daughters and John Clements Akers was the first white child born in Dreher Township.".
Another source, a book "Robert Coe, Puritan", page 203, Mary Coe's husband called Clement Ackers of Wayne Co., Pa.
Please advise me how I can get further information on William or Clement Akers or the Coe family of Wayne Co., Pa. Thank
you very much for anything you can assist me with.
