house, burial ground and schoolhouse in Maiden town ship, above the falls of the Delaware." Next, Simon 1st (?). Probably William's son, says Shearer. Died in Hunterdon County, N. J. 1722. Simon's son, Simon 2nd, married in Chester County, Pa. in 1715 and is probably the same Simon who died in Augusta County, Va. 1749- Simon 1st also had a son John (wife Martha— ), who bought land in Hunterdon County, N, J. in 1735. John's son Thomas patented land on the waters of Roanoke River in 1760. A third son of Simon 1st, Robert, was born 1703 in New Jersey, and married Sarah (b. 1706; said to have been kidnaped from Wales when a child and brought to America). This Robert is of prime importance to us. One of his sons, William, born 1730* died 1810, mar ried Elizabeth Martye or Marte, probably the daughter of Heinrich Martye, from the Palatinate, Germany, who sailed from Rotterdam in the "Alexander and Ann" and arrived at Philadelphia Oct. 1730. Martye patented 175 acres in Nelson County, Va. in 1751 and later moved to the present Campbell County; is buried in the second burial ground of the "Old Concord" Presbyterian Church. Martye was a farmer. He had eleven children. William Akers, son in law of Martye, patented land in Nelson County in 1751. Then he went to Campbell County. He was probably in the Revolutionary War, says Shearer. He too had eleven children. One of these was named William Akers, who mar rid Dolly or Polly Blackburn and settled in Franklin County. (The earliest Blackburns were found in Chester County, Pa.; later Blackburns in Orange, Augusta, Fin castle and Campbell Counties.) This third William Akers' children were: James m. Lucy Webster, dau. Luke and Sarah Web
