I am wanting to track the women's side, but I am job-hunting and can't allot much time to this endeavor. My father was having a hard time recollecting the family tree. So I did the research for his birthday upcoming on May 20th. Any information will be appreciated. My email address is nuwavo9@earthlink.net
My great, great grandfather is William David Akridge born 1843. Their children that I know about were Andrew David b.1872, Frances b.1875 and Maggie b.1879; possibly Levi?
I am waiting to hear back from Bob Akridge. He has info regarding Simeon Akridge, but I am not sure where that branch begins.
From my initial assessment of the following family tree, my William David b.1843 was born to William b.1794 who was born to William b.1759 who was born to John b.1734 in Maryland who was born to William b.1700.
William/John/William/William/William-David/Andrew-David/Theophilus/Raymond/Kevin (me).
I would like to find out about our family's role during the American Revolution. During the civil war most of the Akridge's were Confederate.(see history below)

[jim2.FTW]
Notes from Hugh Akridge
John B Akridge was commissioned a Captain in August, 1861 in the early stages of
the Civil War. He helped to establish a company of men known throughout the war
as company K, 21st Georgia Infantry.
Wounded three times before the fatal wound at Drewry's Bluff, VA.
John never married or had children
From the History Of the Doles-Cook brigade, Captain John B. Akridge was recorded
as "a splendid officer, an excellent gentleman and a brave soldier".
Some reports state John B. receiving wound and dying same day, other reports
have him to die a week later upon arrival at the Chimborazo Hospital in
Richmond, Virginia. Research fails to find his grave site at the Chimborazo
cemetery in Richmond. Perhaps he is buried near Drewry's Bluff, VA.
Company K, 21st Georgia Infantry was also known as Bartow's Avengers.
At the Seven Day's Battle, General Richard S. Ewell wrote on his report of the
conspicuous bravery shown by Captain John B. Akridge among others.
Wounded at Manassus, VA on August 28, 1862
wounded at Chancellorville, VA on May 2, 1863.

Chattooga County Historical Society Quarterly, Vol. 8 # 3, Fall 1995 pg.8
From Four years on the Firing Line by James Cooper Nisbet (edited by Bell Irvin
Wiley)
(At the time of this incident, Jackson's command had inflicted much damage on
the Yankees, forcing them to divert reinforcements from McClellan's Peninsular
Campaign. Jackson is now in a tight spot, nearly surrounded by the enemy. He has
entrusted General Ewell's division ( of which the 21st is a part) to stop Union
General John C. Fremont's attack. They are now at Cross Heys, Virginia and it is
early June of 1862. At this time, James Cooper Nisbet was Captain of Company H
(Dade Co) John B. Akridge was Captain of Co K, and Foster 1st Lt. of Co K).
But to return to the charge on the 8th New Your. As we jumped over the fence, I
heard the sharp crack of a small pistol and saw the weapon in the hand of 1st
Lt. Kinch R. Foster of Co K. Just then one of his men a mere boy, turned and
said; "Lt. you shot me" His captain, John B. Akridge, accused Foster of shooting
the boy. The Lt. denied it, and the boy's Captain appealed to me. I said: "That
can be attended to hereafter; we have plenty of Yanks to fight now, come on!"
After the battle Akridge took up his charge against Foster. As I witnessed the
affair, Captain Akridge insisted on my going with them back to where the
surgeons were operating. When we reached the spot, there lay the boy, Tate,
against a tree, waiting for his turn to be put on the table. When the wound was
examined it proved to be slight and in the fatty part of the back. The surgeon's
probe extracted the ball, which was a .22 caliber, rifled to fit Foster's little
pistol.
Then old Akridge swore like the "army in Flanders' and his remarks about Foster
made things look blue, and gave the atmosphere all around there a bluish tinge.
He said Foster was so scared he didn't know hes own men from the Yankees; and
divers other things about " an officer that would carry such a damnable little
weapon!" There would have been a serious personal encounter between these two
but for the Yank's proximity.
Old Captain Akridge's (he was about 32 at the time) affection for him men,
especially for this boy Tate, reminded me of Uncle Toby's for his men in
Flanders, particularly for Corporal Trim."
In his report of the battle of Cross Keys, fought June 8th, 1862, Major General
Ewell says, "Brigadier Trimble's Brigade bore the brunt of the action and is
entitled to most thanks.
Bartow Avengers ( the following was taken from the History of Doles-Cook
Brigade, Henry W. Thomas, 1903) Co. K, 21st Georgia Infantry, Bartow Avengers"
was formed in Chattooga County, on August 28, 1861 and went on to become part of
one of the most battle hardened regiments of the war. The 21st was with
"Stonewall" at Chancellorville, with Early during the Shenandoah Campaign, and
with Lee throughout Virginia and at Appomattox).
May of 1862 found the 21st with Jackson in the Shenandoah Valley. Two days
later, May 25, we were rushed into Battle of Winchester. In this battle the
Federals w4re strongly posted behind a stone fence. Repeated charges had been
made on this stone fence and repulsed, and the day seemed almost lost, when the
21st Georgia was ordered forward to make an assault and carry the works, which
they did in fine style. The remainder of the division following poured over the
fence after the enemy, who was completely routed, and the day was saved to the
Confederates. Following closely on the hellos of the battle of Winchester came
the battle of Strasburg, in which the regiment took an active part. Soon
thereafter came the battle of Cross keys, in which the 21st Georgia drove the
enemy from the field and captured a stand of colors for which the regiment was
publicly thanked and highly complimented by General Ewell."
Of all the regiments engaged in the war between the States, North and South, the
21st Georgia was the third in number killed in battle. The regiment that lost
the greatest number was the 8th New York, and they were killed by the 21st
Georgia."

Notes for LEVI Y. AKRIDGE:
[jim2.FTW]
Notes from Hugh Akridge on Levi Y. Akridge:
At one time Levi Y. Akridge owned property in then Pulaski County, Arkansas next
to his brother Ezekiel.
This property was very near the Toltec Mounds close to England, Arkansas. At his
death, his only possessions were his horse and saddle.
It is believed he gave Elizabeth Akridge, daughter of Ezekiel Akridge a parcel
of land, 200 acres, before he left Arkansas to return to Georgia. It is believed
he is buried in Chattooga, County Georgia.
Levi was murdered in front of the Courthouse in Summerville, Georgia on March
17, 1875 by a former county judge and his son. The story is there was bad blood
between Levi and the judge for many years and it finally came to a head.
Notes from Valette
Notes for Levi Y. Akridge
Shortly after Judge Francis A. Kerby was appointed tot he bench, six young men,
who were part of the radical element now running the KuKluxKlan in the
county,took it up on themselves to visit the home
of a black family near Holland to chastise a man named Squire Allison who had
evidently had some
unkind things to say about the Klan. During the encounter Allison ran from his
home, but was caught
by the group of disguised riders and his head split with a saber being carried
by one of the men. Later
on the same night, as the wounded Allison was trying to make his way back home,
he had the
misfortune of running into the Klansmen again. This time he was shot and left
for dead. Although his
wounds proved fatal, he did not die immediately. He recognized some of his
assailants and lived long
enough to identify them to his landlord before his death.
Sheriff Harris Garrett was notified of the incident, but was either unwilling or
else unable to do
anything about it. Law and order had generally broken down in the county by this
time. Many men
seldom ventured outside their home without carrying some type of weapon, usually
a pistol, and usually concealed.
Since the sheriff did not take action against the men who killed Squire Allison,
the incident was
reported to Maj. Gen. Alfred Terry, the Union military commander of Georgia.
This is when Judge
Kirby enters the picture again. he made a trip to Atlanta to see Gen. Terry and
within a few days a
company of Federal troops was dispatched to the county and quartered in the
courthouse in
Summerville. After being in the county for Only a few days, the troops mustered
in the middle of the
night and went to the home of Levi Akridge in the southern part of the county.
There they dragged
Akridge from his bed and hauled him off to the county jail. This opened a can of
worms. On one hand,
Akridge was a known troublemaker. He had been involved in all kinds of trouble
and probably
belonged in jail. On the other hand, martial law had been suspended. The
military had no legal right to
go into anyone's home without a warrant, and they evidently did not have a
warrant in this instance.
Also the soldiers wouldn't tell Akridge what he was being charged with. Before
the night was over, the
Federal troops had violated just about every principal of due process. As word
spread of the Akridge
arrest, the mood in certain quarters of the county became rather ugly.
Some time after Akridge was arrested a group of between 150 and 300 masked men
appeared at the
home of Judge Kirby and demanded he arrange for the release of Akridge. When
Judge Kirby
protested, he was reminded he was responsible for the troops being in the county
and he had the
choice of securing Akridge's release or else he would be hanged. Off Judge Kirby
went to the Federal
commander and obtained the release of Akridge. The result of all this was: (a)
Levi Akridge left the
county for a time, going to Texas to live; (b) Judge Kirby was removed from the
bench by Gov.
Bulloch and replaced by R.D. Harvey or Ringgold, the man who was originally
supposed to have been appointed as the judge; (c) the commander of the Federal
troops who released Akridge was court-
martialed; and (d) what had been simply and absence of law and order now became
anarchy, which
existed in the county for a short time.
The release of Levi Akridge from jail, and his subsequent flight to Texas did
not end the matter
between Akridge and Judge Kirby, Akridge was back in Chattooga County within
three for four years.
On March 17, 1875 Levi Akridge was gunned down on Commerce Street, at the very
steps of the
county courthouse. Three men were indicted for his murder. They were: Former
Judge Francis A.
Kirby, his 21 year old son, Lawson Kirby, and Jefferson Johnson, Jr. (who was
the husband of his
cousin Armintia Price Johnson).
Akridge had returned to Chattooga County and was living on the land owned by
Jefferson Johnson in the
south end of the county, between Sardis Baptist Church and Chattooga River.
Akridge and another
tenant on the Johnson farm, J.E. Thomas, became involved in a law suit of some
sort, and Akridge
employed former Judge F.A. Kirby to represent him in the Thomas suit.
When the case was settled, Akridge felt that Kirby had somehow cheated him out
of $15.00 and he
made no secret of his displeasure. He told a number of people that Kirby had
"stole" the money from
him and he referred to Kirby in a number of unpleasant ways. While there may
have been other
underlying factors, the murder of Akridge apparently came about because of the
$15.
The events that would lead to the death of Akridge were set in motion on the
night of March 16, 1875.
At about 10:30 PM Lawson Kirby arrived at the home of Jefferson Johnson in the
Chattoogaville
community to tell him the Levi Akridge had "abused" him, his father and Johnson
on the proceeding
day.
The next day, March 17th, Akridge, Raymond W. Allen and two others were to go on
trial in
Summerville, charged with creating a riot. on this same morning as Lawson Kirby
w3alked down the
street in Summerville, his hat blew off his head and was "whirled" up to a
grocery store where Levi
Akridge happened to be sitting on the steps of the store. At that point Levi
Akridge approached
Lawson, and in what Judge Kirby described as "a furious and violent passion,"
cursed Judge Kirby "for every bad and vulgar character he could think."
Meanwhile, Judge Kirby was in Thompson Hiles' store
where he commented to a group that he was "ready for him". That same morning,
Jeff Johnson Jr. had
gone into Hiles store and bought buckshot shells for his shotgun, commenting
that he was expecting
trouble. While Judge Kirby was still in the store, Lawson arrived and told his
father what had just
happened in his meeting with Akridge, and expressed, concern that Akridge would
try to do his father
harm. Meanwhile, one of the men who had been in the store went to Akridge and
told him that Judge
Kirby had said that he was "ready for him" either deliberately or unwittingly
"adding fuel to the fire"
Meanwhile, Jefferson Johnson had arrived in town, apparently just before noon,
and Judge Kirby "went
over and brought him and Mr. L.E. Wheeler (another relative by marriage) and
some other young men to dinner with me." After the group had finished their
lunch at Judge Kirby's home, they all went back downtown toward the courthouse.
Johnson arrived at the courthouse first because he had ridden Mr.
Wheeler's horse while the others had walked. He tied the horse and walked over
to where Akridge was
sitting by the door of the courthouse. Some of the witnesses say Johnson was
"reeling" as if he was
drunk. Johnson asked Akridge if he "had anything against me," and Akridge
replied that he did not.
Akridge then asked Johnson the same question. Johnson replied, " yes, God damn,
I have. Yesterday
you cursed Judge Kirby, Lawson Kirby and myself." Akridge replied, "I didn't
curse you." Johnson
then said, "you are a God damned liar!" With that, Akridge said, "Jeff, I don't
want any difficulty with
you. You and I have made an agreement to let each other alone, Jeff. I don't any
difficulty with
you." With that Akridge turned and walked away. Johnson stepped in front of him
and said, "God
damn you, have you cursed me?: With that question, Johnson is said to have
pulled a Derringer from
his pocket and pointed it at Akridge. At this point, some of the bystanders
intervened and took
Johnson's pistol. Then Judge Kirby arrived and, according to his letter, "said
to Mr. Akridge in a mild
and supplicating way the following words, arranged in my mind before I saw him:
Levi, when or
where did I ever injure you in money, property or character? Tell me and I will
make the amends
honorable and publicly." Kirby said that Akridge then thrust his fist in his
(Kirby's) beard and
"chucked me under the chin" and said, "you are a God damned rogue and a God
damned liar!" At this
point, Johnson and said, "you told a damn lie." At that point, each man is said
to have swung at the other, "at the same time nearly." L.W. Wheeler, Jeff
Johnson Jr., Sheriff W.D. Kellett, G.W. Crogt and others seized Johnson and
Akridge and pulled them apart. Johnson then reached behind himself and pulled a
large pistol from his belt. Mr. Wheeler and a man named Berry grabbed Johnson
and took his pistol. Levi Akridge then turned to walk away again.
Meanwhile, Lawson Kirby had obtained a shotgun from somewhere, possibly from
Jeff Johnson,Jr.
and he walked to the southwest corner of the courthouse with the double barrel
gun in his hand. Mr.
Berry saw him and told young Kirby, "Lawson don't shoot! Listen to me a minute!"
Lawson replied,
"Berry, stand back! Levi Akridge cursed me and my father and I am a cripple
without assistance." At
this point, the version of Judge Kirby and the other witnesses begins to vary
considerably. Judge Kirby
says that Akridge had turned and headed back toward the group that included
Kirby, however, not one of them mentions Akridge having a pistol. Raymond Allen,
who had been talking with Akridge, is said to have walked toward Lawson Kirby
and young Kirby backed against the courthouse wall with the shotgun in his
hands. At some point, Lawson pulled the trigger of one of the barrels. The gun
fired, or misfired, according to which version you accept. Some of the witnesses
thought Kirby fired into the ground, while others thought Kirby shot at Akridge
with the gun misfiring and only the primer cap exploding. When his first shot
was fired, witnesses sat that Akridge turned toward young Kirby and "squatted".
He then began to dart from one person to another, trying make his way toward
young Kirby.
judge Kirby had this to say about events as Levi Akridge tried to make his way
to Lawson; "when I saw my son backed against the wall and heard him say what he
said, I said, my son, stand your ground. Don't run. By God, every dollar I have
is yours." judge Kirby added in his letter, "The wicked words to my son, for
which I pray forgiveness, were used because I saw my son's crippled condition.
To run was certain death." At the time his father had called to Lawson, Akridge
had stopped behind Mr. Wheeler, who jumped aside. When he did, Lawson fired
again, striking Akridge in the chest.. Akridge staggered back a few steps and
fell dead. Lawson Kirby ran from the scene, and as he fled Raymond Allen pulled
a pistol and fired several shots at young Kirby, none of which struck him.

Notes From Hugh Akridge;
William T. Kirkman was born in either Missouri or Arkansas. Do not know how or
when William met Dora C. Akridge. They must have married around 1879 as Dora has
not been found on the 1880 census as of yet.
It is known that this family moved to Merced, CA about 1888 and started a farm
which later turned into a peach farm and later earned world recognization for a
newly developed peach called "Kirkman Gem".

Notes for LEVI DAVID AKRIDGE:
[jim2.FTW]
Notes from Hugh Akridge on Levi David Akridge:
Levi David Akridge bought and sold land in Faulkner County, Arkansas before
leaving as a young man traveling to California. It is reported that Levi only
came back once to Arkansas. He became a farmer and also helped his sister Dora
and her husband William Kirkman in the peach orchards. Levi became quite
successful and owned a large farm in Madera, California. Levi had a last will
leaving his entire estate equally to his half brother William W. Akridge, nieces
Ella J. Baxter, Lucy E. Alford, Etta J. Baxley. Levi's nephew, William T.
Kirkman, Jr. bought each heir's share for about $1500 each. Total value of
estate was appraised for around $18,000. Since the will would have to go through
Probate Court and possible other proceedings it seems the heir's decided to take
the offer of William T. Kirkman and get their money immediately instead of
waiting and getting much more.
It is quite certain Levi had only one arm, but do not know which arm or how he
lost it.
Levi died of cancer on Oct 14, 1937. His remains were buried in Brentwood
Cemetery, Brentwood, CA., Funeral Director R.S. Jay & Son, Madera, CA.
