New movement along the Huggins line--the Akers

Preface:  Just want to make clear that nothing I say from here on out has anything to do with Huggins from Onslow Co..  After this point, anyone who wants to assert that the Orange Co Huggins line springs from Onslow will please come armed with some form of paper trail....;)

(Again, thanks to Courtney for her comment mentioning the wedding of Jacob Huggins to Mary Acres on Nov 25, 1793 in Orange Co.  This one is for you!)

You've likely heard the old saying "Naked is the best disguise."  Well, we get to see this vividly in this posting.

So, Jacob Sr marries Mary "Acres" in 1793....
If you would like to, go back to my posting of 3/31/14 and click on the deed there.  You will see that it's Jacob Sr selling some of the land he owned next to John Ward to.....Leeroi AKERS.

Oops, we all missed that one entirely.

The next question is obvious.  Who is the Leeroi/Leroy/Leeroy Akers and what is his specific relation to Mary Akers Huggins?

Well, for one thing, we can find his wedding bond in the index:
Leeroy Akers to Rebecca Nealey  29 Oct 180?   Bond: Samuel Faucett.

We can then find him in the horrid 1810 Orange Co census two lines from Jacob Huggins (who was double-counted in this census, as were several other people I've seen).  Here, Leeroy is showing 18-25 years old.  This guy isn't much older than Jacob Douglas Huggins Jr!

Long story short:  jump way forward to 1850 and you can see Leeroy, age 64, in  Hickman TN. (He is indexed as Leeroy Aerois)
With him is wife Rebecca, age 72.  Two likely daughters: Arkela,  27, Elizabeth 24, both show being born in NC.
The major story here, though, is that both Leeroy and his wife are noted as being born in VA! And from this we get that Leeroy was born in 1786

The 1860 census confirms Leeroy's data.  Here you can see him in Humphreys TN living with the Singleton family. 
His age is 74; born in VA  Once again, Leeroy shows being born in 1786.

So now that we have Leeroy pinned down, the question is: what can he tell us about the Huggins line?  That will require a touch of analysis in the next post.
