This posting is to the members or the Ekers family descended from James Lewis Ekers.
James was not the first Ekers in America, and he never changed his name from
Lewis Ekiss. James appears to have been the son of William Ekers, and born in
Spotsylvania Virginia around 1825. The first Ekers I can find a record of is a
James Ekers Jr., in 1706. He was a surveyor of land grants for the crown. The
other Ekers I have found are: Joseph Ekers 1776, Simon Ekers 1786, Conrad Ekers
1800, William Ekers 1830, Henry M. Ekers 1860, And Stephen Ekers 1860.
