About Lydia Akers
From the book, "A westward journey : the Akers from Virginia to Washington," by Ronald L Akers, regarding a marriage between Miss Lorton and Solomon Akers Sr:
- Solomon Sr's marriage to a Miss Lorton is family lore but unproved as no marriage record for him has been found. It is known by other records that the two families lived in close proximity and that the Lortons are a very small family with the male side fairly well documented by a series of will and other records, so certain educated guesses can be made. It is possible that the Lortons are of Irish ancestry and one source places the family name in County Tipperary.
The book referenced above calls Solomon's wife "Miss" Lorton. The author believes that it was her mother who was named Lydia. Other sources give her birth name as Lydia. Who was Lydia? Was it the mother? The daughter? Or both?
