    A source on the Akers Genealogy forum says Thomas was born 1815 MO, still trying to sort this out.

    Married Sarah in KY, source Cooper County MO families, Rowan Hartgrave

     Ishman Akers, although a native of Kentucky, came to this state from Tennessee, of which he had been a resident, in 1829, and made his home in Moniteau county. He was married, however, in this county, to Miss Sarah, daughter of James Shields, an early settler of Cooper county, but who subsequently removed to Moniteau. Her parents died several years ago in Henry county. George F. was born in Moniteau county, January 27th, 1839, and grew to manhood on his father's farm.

    UNSURE ABOUT THIS!!!

    Thomas' father is NOT James M. Akers born 21 June 1782, Shelby, KY.  Saw this several times, this does NOT check out...that Thomas Akers married someone named 'Ama', has other children, died in a different place.
