FOREWORD
The Ackerman Family Association was organized Sept.6,1915 at a meeting held in Bushkill Park, Easton, Pa. It consists of all Ackermans by descent who are interested in such an organization. The first officers were: Clarence s. Ackerman, President Frank Seiple, Vice-president George E. Brodt, Secretary Vharles Ackerman, Treasurer Frank Seiple, Historian Others who have since held office are: Mrs. J.S.Wetzel,Ass't Sec., William G. Pritchard, Pres., William P. Bray, Sec.,Har rison Fox, Sec., William Ii. Heard, Ass't Sec., J. S. Wetzel Pres., Charles Buzzard, Vice-pres., Oscar W. Ackerman, Amos E. Ackerman, Harvey Yeisley, Jarnes Gerhart, Vice-presidents, Floyd Ackerman, Treas. An annual reunion is held either at Ackermanville, Pa. or in Breidinger's Grove nearby on the last Saturday in July. More than 2!'\0 Ackerman descendants usually attend. When tile present historian began her labor of love ancl in terest nearly eil!'hteen years a,go she was fortunate in havtng the cooperati.on not only of the ofricers but also of some of the oldest members then living; e~g• Isaac Bitz, of Pen Argyl: Abraham Ackerman, of Flicksville; Hervey Ackerman, of Easton, Pa.: ancl lleuben ,ickerman, of Easton. Jacob S. Wetzel's un failing interest ancl help, and Oscar W. Ackerman's earnest support are hereby likewise acknowledged. hlrs. Robert Ger hart, of near Quakertown, liucks County, was instrumental in starting off the search among ~lennoni tes rather than among: Lutherans or Reforme REFERENCES Wills, P!tiladclpl1ia County, Pa.

When William Penn, the Englishman, Whose heart on peace was bent, Was given Pennsylvania He made a settlement Of Quakers, Mennonites, and such Who heard that he had planned To sell to all who wished to buy A goodly lot of land ■ Chorus: Now this was something new! Yes: this was some thin!!; new. To own the land in simple fee Was surely something new. 2. So in the 18th. century George Ackerman had come To this fair land from Germany To live in "Grosse Schwamm". And to his el,lest son, named George, Re left the homestead dear: But John and Henry travelled north Until they settled here. Chorus: And so they settled here; And so they settled here. This village named for Ackermans Is where they settled here. 3. Now Henry had but daughters two, And one of them died young; But John had sons - yes, six of them - And we from them have sprung. We meet together once a year And pledge ourselves again To live good lives as they have done, For we're American! Chorus: Yes, we're American! Oh, we're American! We've been here now two hundred years And we're American, Sung to the tune of "My Last Cigar" CHAPTER 1 When the Ackerman Family Association, composed of Ackermans from Ackermanville and the surrnnnding towns, was formed in 1915, the founders were under tl1e impression that all people of that name derived fro~, one co1,1P1on immip:rant ancestor. He search has shown however that there were many Ackerman Irrnni- 1 Christ.on· Ackerman, Au~. 18, 17'i0 Jacob Aclu~r•:1an, Aur:. ?1, 1750 Jol1an t.eor1ce Ac 1,crn1an, Au/!, 31, 1'i'S(I Johan Wendel Ackerman, Au~. 11, 17~0 Several of these settled in Lancaster County; others came up the Perkiomen and settled in Bucks County, For instance, the Stephan Ackerman who came in 173'i is known to have lived in Hay cock Township, Bucks Co. His wi 11 1vn9 prnbatf!d in Philadelphia County (Sec Will Look "O", p, 511, Re7istry of Wills, Phila.) Some of his descendants meet as a part of the Ackerman Far.iily Association, I:ut most of the members could not trace back to Stephan. Who then was our immigrant ancestor? Careful tracing back or his descendants show that his name was GEORGE ACI\ERMAX, a '.-,ennonite, who settled in "Grosse 3chwamri'; Ducks Co. Rev, ,t. B. Shelly, writing about "Folk Na1'1es of Places in the Perl{ioe1en ValJey" says of Great Swat>1p: "Formerly the territory tlesignaterl as the Great Swamn embraced a much larger scope of country than at present, includinv the greater portion of :.Jilforcl and Riehl and Townships, with the site where the bor- o u~h of Quakertown now exists as a center. ln later years, how ever, the name came to be applied to the more western portion of tl1is territory only, the eastern portion, or that belonging to atchland Township, tc1 1,i'1rr the name Flatland. What is at present called ~reat Swrunp lies wholly in Milford Township, forming the northwest section of that township. lt is bounded on the east by a ri Who was his father? ln what city was he born? These questions cannot be answered at this time. Frank Seiple, former historian or the Aclcerman Family Association had among his notes the following: "ACKERMAN. A hotel or stopping place at lloppard on the Rhine (the ancient Bodobriza of the Celts) once boasted of a Lodge of the Knights Templar and mentioned among the Crusaders at the Siege of Ptolemais (1191) ■ The Celts, one of an ancient race of people, of Asiatic orip.:in, who formerly inhabited a /!'.reat part of Central anrl Western Europe and whose descendants at the present day occupy Ireland, Wales, the Highla..'lcls of Scot land, and tile northern shores of France. 11 From what source Frank Seiple copied this notation, the pres ent writer does not knolf. liut we do know that the Ackerman name was an honored one in Euror,e in the early 1300 1 s, for there are records of a Hendrie!, Ackerman and a Franz Ackerman of Ghent. Ille German Biographical Dictionary gives among others John of Bo hemia, ahout J429, and John of Zwickau about 1536. Also there was a Lauwrens .\ckerman, a member of the Dutch Reformed Church at Ant,.verp, who with others on Feb. 21, 15GB, was summoned to appear before the Duke of Alva's "Council of lllood" (the Spanish Inquisition) at Brussels ■ Fortunately for him, he did not answer the sumr,1ons? He also hacl. a brother Hendrick, at Worms, a precl.om inantly Protestant city. This inrormation comes through the cour tesy of Mr. Frederic!< Phillips, a descendant of Lauwrens whose grandson David came to Ne.w Amsterclam in l"io2, as previously noted ■ This correspondent also refers to a publication or the Huguenot Society of Pennsylvania, Vol.5 1923, in which is an address by Charles~. Candee containing some interesting: things pertain i.ng to the Ackermans in Flanders. Did George Ackerman come as a ",tedemptioner", who had to work out his passage money paid to the ship's master by someone al ready in this country? Johannes Joder, perhaps? Or dirl he have enoup;h money to pay for his own pas sage? aml p·erhaps some extra to buy land immecliately'? Ap:ain we do not know. And WhY did he come? This item taken froPI the Pennsylvania Gazette under date of Oct. 5, 1732 may give us a possible reason. "Wesel on the Rhine, May 2S. Four days ago passed by this Place eleven large Vessels with People of the Palatinate and elsewhere, Men, Women ancl Chilclren, who by hard Usage, intol erable Servitude and fl.eligious Grievances·, have been constrained to leave their native Country, to go to settle in the English Golonies in America. They are to take shipping in liolland." Hard usa~e intolerable servitude - religious grievances. The economic conditions were a combination of those brought about by wars and of those conditions to which they had been horn. The Thirty Years' War anQ finally the War of the Spanish Succession, which lasted until 1713, had utterly devastated the Palatinate. Jesse Leonard Rosenberger in his book, "The Pennsyl vania Germans" (pages 12 & 13) recites this: "The peasants or farmers who survivecl that period had little or nothing left. As a rule, the most of their furniture and their implements, their livestock and their poultry had either been taken from them or wantonly destroyed, and their houses had 4 been burned or razed. ~onsequently thereafter they found them selves with poor shelter, few furnishings, scanty rations, and not much besides their hands with which to do anything. They might be called the owners of their usually small farms; but the majority of them had to the lands only limited title to whicll were attached many burdensome conditions and restrictions, while at any time they might be compelled to sell their interest in the land. Three whole days, or six half days, each week, with his team if he had one, must each farmer work for the landlord to whom his obligations ran. '!'he landlord must be given a share of all the ~rains, fruits and vegetables raised. He must be of fered first whatever the farmer had to sell, and whatever the wanted to buy must be bought from him if he had it to sell• He llad a supervision over the marriage of the farmer's children, and a fine had to be paid to him for every marriage, while to each of his own children when they got married presents had to be given. Moreover, he had a right to call into his service for several years any of the farmer's children who were able to work. Nor could they enter service elsewhere without first purchasing a license from him; and he took special pains to prevent their flight. His permission must also be obtained for the farmer to change his vocation, or to be away over night. In addition, there was taxation by the state, and the farmer and his sons were subject to military service." Moreover, George Aclcerman was a Mennonite. Heligious persecu tions had driven these people at different times to different places; to 1.ioravia, to Holland, to the Palatinate. Now they came to find asylum in Willi~~ Penn's Province. And largely because they insisted that baptizing infants was of no avail, and that followers of Christ's teaching could not bear any sword but that of the Spirit. Of the Mennonites Hertzog's German Encyclopaedia says: "Their early history is a story of frightful persecutions en dured with rare and heroic fortitude. Three thousand of them suffered martyrdom in 8uabia, havaria, Austria ancl the Tyrol; six thousand under the rule of Philip II of Spain ••••• They were persecuted by Catholics and Protestants alike. In Switzer land•••• the Protestant State Church inaugurated a frightful persecution of the Uld ~vangelical Baptists, to be followed dur- ing the next century and a quarter by every appliance of vengeance until the persecution of 1n5n, exceeding all its predecessors in severity, almost annihilated the sect •••• The extreme severity of the Swiss Protestants against the Mennonites sent a chill of horror through all Holland, and drew a memorable protest from the burgomasters and lords of Rotterdam ••••• (but) Swiss Mennonites, branded with the arms of the Canton of Berne and chained to their seats, continued to pull galleys in the Mediterranean, to work on the f'ortifications of Malta, and to be sold to Barbary pirates, principally because they differed from their Protestant brethren as to whether a child should bP held at the baptismal font as soon as it could be carried there by its nurse, or whether the age of discretion was the appropriate period to receive the holy ordinance, Thoughts - ideals - aspirations; these are stubborn, tough and fi 1 ong-1 iv eel. 'file s truf:gl e for freNlom has been continuous. Free dom to live; to live unafraid of oppression by those in authority, whether in church or state. That struggle, still persisting, was going on 1n Germany in the 14th. century. The Papacy of Rome had had poU t1cal suprer1acy; tile princes ruled the countrysir!e with full sovereign rights over their lands and their people; cities formed leagues to defend themselves against the princes; but there were democratic movements in many of the cities, anrl they were threatened by the changing politics of the three northern king doms, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, and by their union in 1897. Political unrest grew side by side with religious dissent. "Heretics' multiplied, especially "in the great towns, the centers of civilization, for there the growing sentiment of municipal independence, and the rise of a burgher class through commerce, created a spirit of criticism wl1ich was dissatisfied with the worldly lives of the clergy and their undue influence in affairs. •·•• In France, at Embrun, Peter de Bruys foumlPcl a sect known as Petrobrusians, who denied infant baptis~, the need of consecrated churches, transsubstan tiation, and masses for the dead. The teachers of these new opinions were men of high character and holy lives, who in spite of persecution wandered from place to place and made many con verts. Peter Waldo, a rich merchant of Lyons, sold his goods and gave them to the poor; then he went forth as a preacher of volun tary poverty. He tiacl a translation of the New Te'itament made into Provencal, aml his preachers not only stirred up MCD to more holy lives out explained the Scripture at their will• Such an inter ference with the ecclesiastical authorities led to difficulties." (Ency. Brit., 11th. edition, article on Waldenses.) Those wllo denied that the baptism of infants was effective for their salvation, but affirmed that baptism was a sacrament to be administered only to those who or their own free will and con scious decision desired to be followers of Christ, naturally required that all who came into their fellowship should be thus baptized; hence they were called Anabaptists, or "Re-haptizers". The Encyclopaedia Brittanica has this to say concerning them: "Early anabaptists, denied the use of churches, preached and celebrated the sacrament in private houses. Their vehement preaching won over the common people. The crisis came in the so called Peasant War in South Germany in 1525. In its origin a revolt against feudal oppression, it became umler the leadership of Thomas Munzer, a religious prophet, a war against all consti tuted authorities, and an attempt to establish by force his ideal Christian commonwealth, with absolute equality and the community of' j!:Oods, ••••• Herein is the difference between early Anabap- tists and the followers of Menno Simons, who have never aimed at any social or political revolution and have been remarkable for sobriety of conduct." Thourhts - i The opening up of the new world in America gave hope to many that they could better their lot econon•ically by coming here. To the non-resistant sects of Germany, who objected to war ancl bloocl shed and were therefore persecuted for their political as well as their religious views, there was offered the additional hope of freedom or worship. For William Penn, the Quaker, who had acquired a province in the new land, invited them to come as they were able, The response or the persecuted Germans to this invitation is well known. To Philadelphia they came, up the Schuylkill, thence up the Perkiomen into Montgomery and Bucks Counties. Thus, on the Ship Samuel, of London, Hugh Percy, Master, from Hotterdam, there came the f'ollowing who qualified for entry: Aug. 11, 1732: Hans Muselman Johan Jacob Erdman Christian heudler Jacob Stauffer Ferderick Aldorffer Christian Geernan .Benedigt Geeman Kathrina Gerhart Margreed Gerhart Anna Geel"lanin, etc, lt was amonr people of these names that George Ackerman settled. So then it seems clear that he arrived sometime between this date in 1732 and the time he witnessed Samuel Shoup 1 s will in 1747. As suggested by the late Dr. William J. Hinke, of Auburn, N.Y., the reason for not findin~ his name among the lists of immigrants may be that he was sick upon arrival and could not be present to take the required oath or af'firmat1.on or loyalty, The thrift of the German immigrants in Eastern Pennsylvania seems to have impressed the English people already living there, "The Perkiomen Region", Vol.2, p,95 quotes thus from a manuscript volume entitled "Haldimand Papers. Reports of the Nations, etc." in the liritish Museum. T11e deport is not dated; it appears to have been written about the middle of the seventeen hundreds, "•·••• Philadelphia was the only Town of' any Note in the Provin, 20 Years ago, but now their Number is much increased. The Settle lllents of the Farmers were universally spread, and the Economy of the Germans since that time taught us the Method of bringing our produce to Market at a small expence. The Methorl 1.s this, Every Farmer in our Province almost has a Waggon of his own, for the Service of his Plantation, and likewise horses for Tillage. In tl1e Spring and Fall of the Year, when it is here a Vacation of' Farming, they load their Waggons and furnish themselves &ca Beasts with provender for the Journey. Their Waggon is their Bed, their Inn, their everything. And many of them will come 100 or 150 miles, without spending a shilling. It is pretty to behold our back Settlers, where their harns are large as Palaces, while the owners live in Log Huts; a sign though of thriving Farmers. Our people havinp; thus Learn 1d tlle Method of making the back Country of such general Service, Tradesmen found the advan tage of removing farther into the Country, for the Expence of Living there being less enables them to afford their Fabricks cheaper," Yes, Philadelphia was quite a Town in the middle of the seven teen hundreds. "The Perkiomen Region, Past and Present" quotes 7 this item from The New York Post Boy, dated Oct. 7, 1751 ■ "Philadelphia, Oct. l. Sunday Nii:,:ht last the Streets of' this City began to be illuminated with lamps, in pursuance of an Act of Assembly. Last Week a Person was convicted breaking one of the Publick Lamps, by throwing an Apple at it, and paid a Fine of Forty Shillings." But such conveniences as street lamps were not snf'ficient in ducement to keep the German farmers huddled in a city. They wanted to be on their own land; land which was sold to them to be absolutely theirs; land which they could sell to someone else if it was profitable to do so, or hand down to their children without let or hindrance from any land-holder over them. Not Ii ttle patches of it, but acres of it! "Des war ,nmdcrschon!" When the Revolutionary War broke out later in the century the non-resistant sects who had come here not merely to own land but to worship God according to their way or worship, were raced with difriculties ■ Records in the Pennsylvania Archives show reports of Captains who tried to fill up their Companies in Bucks and 1iontgomery Counties, but round many Quakers, Mennonites, Dunlcers and Schwenkfelders who refused to serve. Some people considered them cowards; many were made to suffer indignities, terror and loss of property. how ever, they tried to make understandable to their neighbors and to the state ii:overnment why they refused to undertake military service. Hen~y S. Dotterer, in The Perkiomen Region, in an ar ticle on "Gen. Dan 1 1 Hiester", writes as follo1rn: "In November, 1775, the leading men in the Mennonite Society, joined by some of the German Baptists (Dunkers) presented a paper to the AssemlJlY, in which they declared 'we are not at liberty in conscience to take up arrne to conquer our enemies, but rather to pray to God, who has tile power in Heaven and eart, for us and them', and further, 'we have dedicated ourselves to serve all men in every thing that can be helpful to the preservatjon of men's lives, but we find no freedom in giving, or doing, or assistinir, in anything by which men's lives are destroyed or hurt. We beg the patience of all those who believe we err in this point. The constitution of the Schwenkfelder church provides:'No member of this church is allowed to take up the sword in order to engage in war; for we believe that for Christians there is only appoint ed the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God; and hence, according to the testimony of our conscience, we cannot trans gress the command of Goel which is contained in the Sixth Command, raou SHALT NOT KILL. I" There were soCTe, however, who comprehended their difficulties, as witness the following letter from Alexander McDowell to Penn sylvania's Vice President, George Bryan, dated June 1st., 1778. "Honoured Sir, You will forgive these hints, which will give your weightier affairs but little interruption, to be used as you think they de serve. I have been in several parts of three Counties of this State, and fincl in all, e:reat complaints made by Menonists and Quakers, of the oath of allegiance now required of its Subjects, 8 as including an obligation to fight, contrary to their known principles. They say, a good many at least, that they would affirm to be faithful Subjects to the State, endeavor noth ing to its hurt but discover all they knew doing so, .:ec in consistence with their principles against bearing arms; to require more of them, they say, is persecution; and tho' the Constitution promises the ri~hts of Subject~ of all denomina tions, presently oaths are required, which they cannot take until otherwise qualified (i.e. "changed") without renouncing their principles; and that such are not trials who are friends of the State, but who are Sincere in their profession. I find some of our sensible Whigs say, an oath of allegiance, suited to these people's known Sentiments, might increase the friends of the State and lessen the warm discontents of many; and then levy more from them than others under the name of a Tax, for the use of the State, but not of fines; as they would enjoy greater advantages by not bearing arms. And such as refuse qualifications, so framed, would have no excuse, but appear plainly to be enemies. Wishin, direction to all our public Councils, a speedy issue of war and happy establishment of these States, I am, Sir, Your humble Servt, Alex'r McDowell" Nor have these churches ever retreated from that position. All thro' World War II they supported "work camps" throughout the country for conscientious objectors to war, who there serv ed in constructive work for their country rather than destruc tive work against any man, even tho' an enemy, A Visit to one of these camps showed many splendid up-stann.in1: voung mer, who came with well worn bibles as part of their personal belong ings, The foregoing history, tho' brief and inadequate, may be sufficient to give somethjng of a background for George Ack erman. What we know of him is little enough, but we can at least state the following as essentially correct: iie was here at least by 1747, ilis wife's name was Anna, as shown by deeds recorded at boylestown, Pa. in Deed ~ook 54, pare Jq6. Both are probably buried at East Swamp burying Ground, not far from Quakertown, Pa. for this was near to their farm. irioreover here are buried George Ackerman, Jr. and his wife Margaret, their stones inscribed in German. An almost undecipherable brown field stone located in the oldest part of the ce~etery reads: /~~ , 1797 , J liarbara A ckermen ' Ist gesto rben den z welf den , ' OCTOlHili , l 1 - 9 In addition there is a stone to Anna Clymer, wife of Jacob Clymer, born Ackerman; Born Nov. 13, 1789 Died June 18, 1868 George and Anna Ackerman had three sons! 1. George Ackerman, Jr. 2. John Ackerman 3. Henry Ackerman We have no birth dates for these sons, except that of George, Jr. found on his tombstone. But the census of 1790 shows that George Ackerman, Jr. remained on the old homestead; John was listed as a blacksmith in Springfield Township, Bucks Co.; Henry had come up to Northampton County to what was called "The Settlement". According to that census, Henry Ackerman in 1790 was living in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northa.I'lpton Co., with no sons listed but three females, one of whom was his wife. In Plain field Church cemetery, some miles from Ackermanville, is a stone inscribed in German, bearing the name of Elizabeth Ack erman, little daughter of Henry and Barbara Ackerman, Born Dec. 23, 1789; Died Mar. 3, J902; Aged 12 yrs., 2 mos., & 11 days. No one knows what became of the other daughter, whether she also died young, or if or whom she married. This is as far as we can follow Henry Ackerman, son of the immigrant, George Ackerman, Mennonite. We do not even know where he is buried, whether in Plainfield where his daughter lies or in the old Mennonite burying ground near Richmond, This burial ~round, on the road from Richmond to Bangor, is no longer in existence. It remains therefore to trace descendants of George2 Ackerman (Georgel) and John2 Ackerman (George1 ) These two will be given separate chapters. The numbers following their names indicates generations, counting the im migrant ancestor, George Ackerman, as the first generation; thus, Georgel. George, Jr. is then the second generation and is shown: George2 (George1 ) Johannes of the third generation would be indicated: Johannes3 (George2, George1) showing that he was the son of George2 and grandson of George1 • By this means we hope to make very clear the order of descent for any given person. Another chapter will be devoted to those few descendants of Stephan Ackerman of whom we have knowledge. Stephan Ack erman lived in Haycock Township, Bucks Co. This line is not of Mennonite origin but of German Lutheran. 1 GEORGE ACKERMAN GEORGE, JR." (17'f7-l8/8) HENRY z. JOHN Z. (I 7'f'l?- l82.3) ,.,_ MAR RET SELL M- BARB!RA -----.. M.CATHERINE BLEAM 2.

Sept.Jo, 1818 d. Oct. 171 1827 Mar~aret Sell was the daughter of Henry Sell, of Upper Sau con Township, Northampton County. A release deed, dated March 12, 1787, to Peter Sell (his son) is signed by Casper Yoder, of Upper Saucon Twp., Northampton Co., and Veronica his wife; George Ackerman of Lower Milford Twp., Bucks Co. and Mar~aret his wife; Abraham Yoder of Upper Saucon Twp. and Maria his wife; Magdalena Sell of same place, spinster, and Jacob Holt of Lower Milford Twp., Bucks Co. and Susanna his wife - All heirs of Henry Sell dec'd. (See Northampton Co. Deed Book F-1, p • 211'i) Henry Sell was a Mennonite. Nothing more is known of him. The Mennonites were, and are, a reticent and retiring people. They make no display of their achievments. In the opinion of a good Mennonite what the world considers achievments are not worthy to be compared with a conscientious, godly and indus trious life. Their ministers earn their living as other men do, as farmers, shoemakers, teachers, industrial workers, etc. Their service as preachers of the Word is rendered as an of fering unto God. George and Margaret Ackerman lived on the old homestead which he had bought from his father, George Ackerman, Sr. and wife Anna on Jan.1, 1772, as shown in Bucks Co. Deed Book l'i4 p. 196. Tax lists in :bUcks County in Lower Milford Twp. in 1784 show George to have been taxed on the basis of 125 acres, 2 dwelling houses, 1 outhouse and 6 white inhabitants. Accord ing to the Census of 1790 he had 2 sons under 16 years of age and 2 daughters. bis descendants remained mostly in Bucks Co. for many years. He was a Mennonite minister, and is so mentioned in the Ministerial List of the Franconia Mennite Conference (Wenger's "History of the Mennonites of the Franconia Conference",p.249) as serving in the Swamp district in 1773. A letter written March J, 177~ f'rom the )lennoni tes of America in reply to one frorn the Mennonite Church in Holland is among the Gov. Penny pacl:er Papers, and is reproduced in English in Wenger's "His tory", p. 403. This letter mentions the ministers at various places: "Grooten Schwamb, to which belong Sacken (Saucon?), Lower Milf'ord in two places, llosensack, Lehay and Term (Durham?) The preachers are: Jacob Meyer, chosen 1752, confirmed 1763; Hendk. Funk, chosen 1768; Hendk. Bar, chosen 1771; George Akerman; Michael Moselman." He and his wife Margaret are buried at East Swamp burying ground which has an ornamental gateway with the inscription "OUR FOREFATHERS 1724-190~". Their graves are marked by 12 East Swamp Mennonite Church: Cemetery wall in foreground below: Cemetery Gateway 13 two siffiilar headstones in the first row to the left as one en ters the gate. Two other stones are of interest: one an ir regular brown field stone with inscription so faint as to be barely legible: "1707 - Barbara Ackermen 1st ~estorben den zwelf October." Another is of "Anna Clymer, wife of Jacob Clymer, born Ackerman, !lorn Nov. 13, J.7~fl; Died June 18, :1R6'3 Aged 76 years 7 mos. and 5 days." Perhaps these two stones ac count for the daughters who were living in 1790. Since there are other "Swamp" burying grounds besides East Swamp, it may be well to locate them, so as to avoid confusion. EAST SWAMP, near .Brick Tavern, west of Quakertown. This is the oldest burying ground. W~ST SW.AMP, next oldest. A little south of Steinsburg; not far from Swamp • SW.AMP cemetery, "Old Mennonite" burying ground at Steinsburg, near the Lehigh County line. For history of "old Mennonites" as distinguished from the branches that stemmed from thence, see Wenger's "History". The two sons of George and Margaret Ackerman were: lJenry3 Ackerman b. Aug. :?, 1774 m. Elizabeth Bann Johannes3 Ackerman b. hlar. 1, 1777 m. Susanna Shelly On June 21, 1804 George Ackerman, Jr. and Margaret his wife signed 2 deeds: 1. To Henry, for llo acres and ~9 perches purchased from John and Elizabeth Young. (See Buclcs Co. Deed Book 29, page 34 ff) 2. To Johannes, for 125 acres and 133 perches (the original farm) and 12 acres and 37 perches (See Bucks Co, Deed Book 54, page 196 ff) The descendants of these two sons must now be traced. 14 HENRY~ ACKERM~ (George2 , Georgel) Henry Ackerman m. Elizabeth Bann b. Aug. 2, 1774 b. June 13, 1778 d. Jan. 3, 1857 d. July 21 1 1864 Both buried West Swamp Old Mennonite cemetery. Henry and his brother Johannes are said to have gone up to what was called "The Settlement" (now Ackermanville). They found the land too dry for their lildng and returned to the Great Swamp region.

Feb. 15, 1864 Buriecl East Swamp Cemetery Buried Old Swamp, Steinsburg Johannes Ackerman purchased from his father, George Acker man, Jr., on June 21, 1804 the old homestead farm plus 12 acres and 37 perches more. His will, dated May 21, 1827, only one day before his death and recorded in bucks County Will Book 10, P• 531, is the first will made by any of the descendants of George Ackerman, inunigrant. Its provisions show him to have been an understand ing and considerate man with respect to both his wife and his children. Whoever wrote the will for him, when writing the bequest to his wife Susanna, had written it according to the custom of the times; for we find it thus:"(~, t,~t ~~ ~~~ ~~~tt r,~~i~ ~1 ,;~~,)considered as a mistake this eight words." Some of his children were still of tender age; for them "it is further my desire that all those of my Children which have not hwl Sufficient Schooling shall be sent to School untill the have Sufficient Education nessecary for them." Unto George, John and Henry (sons) he makes special bequests; then directs that after two years the farm on which he then lived should be sold, the residue to be divided equally unto George, John, Henry, Jacob and William, and Catherine, Susanna and Mary at their several respective ages of Twenty one. His son George Ackerman and Peter Shelly were named executors. The successior. of owners, beginning with John Joder who sold the land originally to George Ackerman the immigrant in 17BO, is first recorded 79 years later - in 1829, when in accordance with the terms of the will above the land is to be sold: Deed Hooks mentioned are all of Bucks County.

First how could Susanna sell in 1830 land which is said to have been convpyed to her in 1831? This must have been an error of the transcrib er. The second reason is more important. It woulll seem that this deed indicates Abraham and Pheebe Shelly as the parents of Susanna Shelly, the wife of Johannes, and mother of Henry above, It leads indeed to even further conjecture, Could Su sanna be also the granddaughter of the Abraham Shelly Senior spoken of in Deed Book 26, p. 486, dated April 8, 1788, where in Abraham Shelly Senior and Eve his wife sell to Joseph Shelly 51 A. 100 P. out of the 114 A. 27 P. he had purchased from William and Margaret Newman on Dec, 19, 1753? This tract was "by William Hickenbottorn 1 s land•·• along line of Vhristian Shelly Senior ••• by line of Jacob Shelly." Going back to Henry, to whomSusanna sold the 30 acres she had from Abrahal'.l and Pheebe Shelly, we find that only six months before his death Henry and ltty Ann his wife assigned the land to Peter Shelly, Esq. of Springfield Twp, This was under date of March 23, 1843. Peter Shelly sold it later to Charles Trumbauer of Richland Twp. (See Deeds, Vol.71 p,101,) I\ A. Amanda Ackerman m. William Stoneback b. ------1, Sallie6 Stoneback m. ----- Leard a.

Catherine Bleam b. circa 1749 b. ------d. ante Feb, 1823 d. before her husbanu In Bucks County Deed Book 39, p. 64, under date April 25, 1789 we find that Jacob Erdman, of Springfield Twp. yeoman, and Elizabeth his wife sold to John Ackerman, also of Spring field Twp. for 34 pounds 4 shillings 43 and 3/4 acres, part of his patent from John Penn the Younger and John Penn the Elder,"a certain piece, parcel and tract of land part of the above mentioned tract of 100 acres and allowance (for roads) aforesaid. Situate in the :Uanor or lUchland Marked in the General Plan of the said Manor No. 26 in the Township of Springfield, County of Bucks aforesaid." l'his deed, tho I dated in 17R9 was not recorded until Aug. 28, 1809 full 20 years later. Perhaps tllis was when John Ackerman sold the tract. In hope of finding the name of his wif'e on the deed of sale, search was made for such transfer of title, but to no avail. The Deputy Recorder also searched but had to admit that he could find no trace of it. What hap pened to it? .l:!:vidently the deed was never recorded. If we knew to whom John Ackerman sold it, we should probably find a record of the indenture within the body of the deed when that owner sold it. The discovery of the name of John Ackerman's wife, no where mentioned in all the previous research done by the com piler, was one of those happy accidents that sometimes illu mine the work of a genealogist. To trace the many owners of the original tract of land bought by the immigrant George Ackerman, it seemed good to trace backward from a known later owner. Mrs. Robert Gerhart who lives on an adjoining farm, had said that Enos Beidler had owned it. But there were two Enos Beidlers listed in the index, having different middle initials ■ The first one chosen was the wrong one, but yield ed unexpected information. Bucks Co. Deed Book 91, P• 46, dated April 3, 1855 tells us that Samuel Bleam, sawmiller, sells to Enos T. Beidler yeoman (both of Richland Twp.) two tracts, separated by the North Pennsylvania Railroad, one of which is a sawmill. "The same being portions of a tract •••• which John Bleam and Ann his wife sold to their son Samuel on April 11'\, 1819 - see Deed ~ook 50, P• 586" lt is in this last record, telling of the two tracts of land in township of Richard with sawmill, sep arated, that we find: "The first tract-;which Thomas Penn and Richard Penn Esqrs Proprietaries of the Province of Penn sylvania, by their Patent, Feb. 23, 17fl3 - granted Jacob Bleam (alias Plimm) and Jacob Bleam being thereof seized died Intestate leaving issue three children, viz. the above-named John Bleam, Mary intermarried with Henry Beitler and Catherine intermarried with John Ackerman." Whereupon, as the custom was, Mary and Henry Beitler and Catherine and John Ackerman 43 signed a deed of release to John Bleam on Dec. 10, 1770. This deed of release cannot be found recorded anywhere except as it is here included in the body of this deed. John Ackerman and Catherine Bleam could not have been mar ried very long when Jacob Bleam died. They continued to live in Bucks County until after the first Federal census in 1790. Be was taxed in 1784, resident in Springfield Twp., Bucks Co., as a blacksmith, on the basis of 40 acres, 1 dwelling house, 2 outhouses and 6 white inhabitants. In 1789 as mentioned above, he bought 43 and 3/4 acres from Jacob Erdman. In 1790, according to the Federal census, he had 2 sons over sixteen and 4 sons under sixteen years. No daughters. Only one female and that one his wife. Shortly after he followed his brother Henry to the little settlement of Mennonites in Northampton County. There seem to have been several such settlements in North ampton County. D. K. Cassel in 1888 wrote a "History of the Mennonites." We quote from "A Brief Sketch of the Mennonite Meeting house and Congregation, situated in Allen Township, Northampton Co., Pa. on the road leading from Bethlehem to Kreidersville" - p. 273.•••••• "A deed was given for one acre of land, dated March 10, 1770, for the use of the Mennonites for all times. In 1829 part of the land was sold and the proceeds used to renovate the meeting-house and build a stone wall around the graveyard. The right to sell was granted upon the instance of a petition by Jacob Funk and others, dated Feb. 6 1 18281 and the Act was passed Jan. 29, 1829 and signed by the Governor, J. A. Schulze. "Ministers who served included: Valentine Young, Samuel Musselman, Christian Bliem, John Bechtel, William Gehman, John Oberholtzer, Christian Clemmer, David Henning, William Shelly, lienry Diehl, Jonas Musselman, Samuel Moyer." This settlement and church took care only of people along the Lehigh until final sale of that property. It is believed that there was a congregation, though not a building, in the vicinity of Flieksville and Ackermanville be fore the Mennonite church at tiangor was built in 1822 or short ly thereafter. Cassel makes no reference to such a group. Yet here certainly was a "settlement" of Mennonites. Did the Mount Bethel settlement have any church building of their own? Mount ~ethel Township, organized in 174ff while it was still a part of Bucks County, was divided into Upper and Lower Mount Bethel Townships in 1787. (Washington Twp. was created out of these nearly a century later in 1871.) Wenger's "History of Franconia Conference" p.233, tells of the will of Jacob Kappes, dated Sept. 9, 1794, in accordance with which sale was made on April 9 1 1798 by his widow Anna, executrix, and Isaac Kolp, Sr., executor, and Jacob Kappes, son and devisee of lands of his father, of three-quarters of an acre to Owen Honsbury and Jacob Stauffer, in trust "for and as a site for a house of religious Public worship, a school house, and a burial place for the dead, for the use of the German Con- 44 gregation, or religious Society of Christians, connnonly called Mennonists, residing in the said To1ftlship of Upper and Lower Mount Bethel and this Neighborhood ••• • (See Northampton Co. Deed Book E-2, P• 79.) Evidently then there was a Mount Bethel congregation prior to 1794, But where was this meeting house lot? Jacob Kappes had bought "two pieces of land, one of them called 'Mansfield' in Lower Mt, Bethel, 146 A. & 90 P,; the other called'Belmont' situate in Upper Mt, Bethel, 141 A, & 1~0 P," The deed does not specify from which of these tracts the three-quarters of an acre was taken. The only clue is the description: "Beginning at a marked hickory tree, in a line o:t' Jacob Morrys land, and from thence extending by the same North west 8 perches to a stone, thence by land granted by said Jacob Kappes to William Oberholtzer South west 15 perches to a stone and South east 8 perches to a stone, thence by land of William DaTis North east 15 perches to place of beginning.• Now the land that Jacob Kappes sold to William Oberholtzer was in Lower Mt. Bethel (See Northampton Co. Deed Book D-2, P• 364; Date Dec. 26, 1797) Then in 1803 William Oberholt zer sold the same land to Conrad Ressley (Deed Book A-3,p. 64) In 1833 the heirs of Conrad Raesley sold the same land to Christopher Illick. (Deed Book A-6, P• 11)• Also William Davis in 1806 sold his land "situate in Lower Mount Bethel" to Wil liam McQuown (Deed Book C-3, p, 130) Later, in 1813, William McOuo1m sold part of his land to John Rothrock (Deed Book H-3, p,301), These transfers of land give a clue as to where the first Mennonite church in Lower Mount Bethel was located. Wenger's "History of Franconia Conference" devotes a short chapter to the Rothrock lfennonite congregation, now extinct, "Situated along a road which runs northward from the Tillage of Richmond, and is about a half mile from Richmond and about three or four miles southeast of Bangor •••• The meeting house stood on the right side of the road as one proceeds from Rich mond, It was a frame building ••• , Mrs. Clara (Illick) McEwen (McEwen= McQuown!!) aged 715, says that her mother and herself always attended the 'meneese' services when she was small," "The cemetery is also on the right side of the road as one proceeds northward from Richmond. At one time the church and cemetery grounds were well kept, ••• But today the cemetery is grown over with we eels and brush. The ground is uneven and it is very difficult to find any markers at all, At one time it was 'full of tombstones• •••• The meeting house stood about 200 feet south of the neglected cemetery, Where it was located is now a pit,,,,, Mr, David Ettinger bought the property in 1909 1 and when his barn burned clown in lfH6 he removed the old frame meeting house, to be used near his home as a machinery shed. It is still in use - a builuing 22 by 28 feet,• It is quite likely that John Ackerman and his wife Catherine lileam were buried in that old Mennonite cemetery, since Cath erine Bleam died before her husband did, and the cemetery and church at Bangor did not have their beginning until Hl22, Concerning Bangor in Northampton County, we read: "Minister DaTid Henning of the aboTe place died July 2, 1881. He was 7~ years of age, and had been engaged in preaching for the past 25 years; he was the last of the Mennonites in this Ticinity. This section was originally settled by the Mennon ites, which tiO years ago was a large and flourishing congrega tion and owned the church property which recently passed intQ the hands of the Lutherans. Death and remoTals to other parts of the country gradually reduced the number of Mennonites un til Father Henning was the sole remaining representatiTe. He was buried July 6, 1881 in the old cemetery back of the church which has been used by the Mennonites as a burying ground for the past century. The funeral serTices were conducted by a Mennonite minister, William Gehman of Bucks County. B.F. Apple, Lutheran, and James M. Salmon, Presbyterian." From the "Golden AnniTersary SouTenir" (1928) of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church we find that "The Mennonite Soci ety had received by deed from Abraham Bickley, on Dec. 28,1822 a tract of two acres of land on which they erected 1 the small brick church' which measured twenty by thirty feet and where in the ReT. David Henning, the Mennonite pastor, conducted services." The occasion of the sale of this property to the Lutherans is dealt with at some length by William H. Speer in the same anniversary souTenir book. It appears that after the death of Charles Snyder, custodian of the church, Speer took over his duties. The congregation had gradually dwindled until but a few members remained and those were aged. About 1870 there remained only David Henning, his wife Elizabeth Henning and Mrs. Warrich, widow of George Warrich. •rt was about this time that Mr. Henning mentioned the fact that nearly all of the children of the old Mennonites had joined the Lutheran Church and suggested to me on several oc casions that the Lutherans take the property in order that it should b 4 maintained for church purposes; he further stat ed, as a reason for so doing, that as the children of the Men nonites had joined the Lutheran Church, and as those children were the natural successors of their parents, that they, by right, should retain the Church property, for, by so doing, they could the better care for the graves of fathers and moth ers, brothers and sisters who were buried in the Church-yard there." In June, 187~ a Lutheran Sunday School was organized there. On April 6, 1878 the congregation was organized, and Mr.Henning's offer accepted. Among those who signed the resolution of or ganization of Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church April 6, 1878 were Isaac Ackerman, George Shook and Adam Shook. "The Grave Yard, when it clll!le into possession of Trinity Lutheran Church was in a deplorable condition, because of the dense growth of dewberry, mercury and other entangling growths, the very uneven surface of the ground, etc. "Many of the tombstones and markers were fallen over, some were broken and others disintegrated by the elements so that inscriptions were obliterated altogether or scarcely legible," 46 or the stones still legible the rollowing are or interest to the Ackerman ramilys Henry Miller b.

Said to have been built by John Ackerman before he bought land from Henry Miller. Below: Original •tenement" and third mill built on the original llite. 48 had been built by Henry Miller in 1788. The site is in use to this day. A note from Henry Wetzel, undated but probably written in the 1890's, to Frank Seiple, former historian, says that the second grist mill was wbuilded in 1822.w The frame of the sawmill is still standing Just across a road from the grist mill• The old beams and cross-braces still show the wooden pegs that fastened them together. The build ing is now enclosed and Used for storage, the saw long since removed (about 1890) and the sawdust pit floored over. For as trees were cut down year after year, fewer and fewer logs were brought to be sawed. For a time farmers brought logs in the winter t:Ltne, on sleds, but presently it became unprof itable to operate the sawmill• Enos and Jacob Wetzel were then joint owners of the whole mill property. Jacob. s. Wet zel of Ackermanville, son of Henry, loaned the photograph, taken about 1875 - 1880, showing the sawmill with logs in the background and his grandfather Gottlieb Wetzel standing by, with sons Henry, Jacob and Enos in front of the open shed. The purchase of this property by John Ackerman is recorded at Easton, Pa. in Deed Book A-2, PP• 134 ff, under date April 15, 1792. It recites that Henry Miller, late of Lower Mount ~ethel now of Allen Township and Magdalena his wife, for 1800 pounds lawful money of Pennsylvania, sells to John Ackerman "a certain Messuage Tenement Grist and Saw Mill and 2 tracts of land in Lower Mount Bethel Twp." 563 acres and 14 perches strict measure, with 6~ allowance for roads etc. This deed further recites that 1200 of the 1800 pounds purchase price is to be paid off at the rate of 100 pounds annually on the 15th. of April each year for twelve succes sive years, ending April 15, 1804. The deed was recorded Aug. 14, 1792. On pages 136-137 is the record under the same date of April 15, 1792, of the bonds and mortgage given by John Ackerman to Henry Miller in twelve separate bonds of 200 pounds each. In the wide margin on page 137 is this written notation: "Henry Miller the mortgagee named appear ed and acknowledged that he has received of John Ackerman the mortgagor the full Principal and Interest secured thereby. Therefore he discharges the srune and the Lands and tenement thereby pledged this 2nd. day of May, 1804." (Signed in German script) Heinrich Miller Witnessed by a clerk for A. liorn, Hecorder. A surprising and unusual sale of additional acreage was consummated .-,n that April lfith., 1792. Recorded in the same book along with the 563 acres and 14 perches ,,.(by land of Leonhard Kern.•. by vacant land ... by land of John Miller, •• by Paul Casper Brittain, etc.) we find that Henry Miller and Magdalena his wife FOR Al, ADDITIONAL FIVE SHILLINGS sell to John Ackerman about 60 acres more or less, adjoining Paul C. Brittain and others! We may assume that this was a cash trans action. Evidently they were not cramped for room in those days, sine there was still ffvacant land" adjoining that which was sold. 49 Original sawmill in operation about 188~. Left to right: Henry Wetzel, Jacob Wetzel, Enos Wetzel, Henry (Jacob's son), William A. (Enos' son) and Gottlieb Wetzel Below: Sawmill today. Saw remoTed; sawdust pit floored oTer; front enclosed. Now used for storage. 50 Names giYen for owners of adjoining lands are: Leonhard Kerns, John Miller, Paul Casper Brittain• If John Ackerman had 600 pounds in cash to make a down pay ment on land coating 1800 pounds, there arises a conjecture as to whether the date of purchase may haYe followed shortly after the death of bis father and settlement of the estate. For among the Mennonites there was usually an amicable settle ment of affairs among themselYes, without too much interference by the outside world of courts. Witness the settlement of his own eatate. He died previous to the date of that settlement which took place Feb. 13, 1823. His wife must have preceded him in death, for we find no mention of her. There is no rec ord showing settlement by the Orphans Court• Instead it appears that five of John's sons - Henry, Abraham, DaYid, John and George - gave a Deed of Release to their brother Jacob, miller, receiYing in return deeds to portions of the land which seemed equitable to each, all dated Feb. 13, 1823. The release deed, signed by the five brothers, is recorded at Easton in North ampton County Deed Book H-5, p. A39. Deeds given in return are recorded as follows: To David, Deed Book H-5, p.310; to Abra ham, Deed Book H-7, p.446; to Henry, Deed Book A-8, p.~R, each receiTing part of the original purchase from Henry Miller of 5~3 acres 14 perches, in some instances supplemented by some of Jacob's other holdings. Deeds to John and George could not be found recorded, but in 1825 John and his wife sold to George 42 acres and 141 perches of that original land bought by their father. Also in about 1827 John and his wife sold an acreage to Jacob and Mary Stocker, who were brother-in-law and sister to John's wif'e, Betsy Kethlege Ackerman. With six Ackermans owning farms all adjoining, the settle ment became mown as AckermanTille. Their first postoffice was a mile distant at Flicksville (established Jan. 24, 1837, with John Flick, Postmaster), but it was remoYed to AckermanYille Feb. 8, 1870, with John Gottschalk, Postmaster. John2 Ackerman (George1 ) left six sons, no daughters. Thus: 3 George Ackerman b. circa 1771 NeYer ■arried. 3 John Ackerman b. circa 1773 ID• Elizabeth Kethlege 3 Jacob Ackerman b. Apr.3,1775 m.

Born circa 1771; died after Jan. 13, 1846. According to Frank Seiple, former historian, he was buried in the Menoist Cemetery, Bangor, Pa. Never married, he seems to have been closer to John than to the rest of' his brothers, It is be lieved that he occupied a log cabin standing on John's property, right close to the road leading from Ackermanville to Factory ville. This cabin was later moved across the road and used as a carpet weaTing room; and still later, the logs were used as a foundation for a cider mill, No trace of it no~ remains. 53 Since George never married and no record can be found of his having shared in the land, it is reasonable to suppose that he took his share in cash. At any rate he had money, for under date June 27, 1q25, recorded in Northampton Co. Deed Book B-~, p.181, we find that his brother John and Elisabeth his wife, of Lower Mount Bethel Twp. sold to George Ackerman, blacksmith, of same place tor $1989.50 two tracts of land totalling 42 acres 141 perches •it being part of 563 acres 14 perches to which Henry, Abraham, David, John and George Acker man signed a deed of release to Jacob Ackerman.• Twenty one years later, his brother John having died, Geo. Ackerman, now called •gentleman• in the deed, sells back to Elizabeth Ackerman, widow of John Ackerman, exactly the same land, for exactly the same price! Dated Jan. 13, 1!M6. (See Deed Book C-7, P• 566). This may have been shortly before his death, for he would have been then about 75 years old• John Bitz, administrator, in 1849 files an account, showing balance due the estate to be $1,565.48 and t/3. • * * * * * * • * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * JOHN ACKEltMAN 3 (John2, George1 ) Born about 1773; died 1930, according to Orphans Court records of settlement of his estate. He is said to have been buried in the old Menoist burying ground at Bangor, Pa., but there is no stone to mark the grave. He joined with his brothers in signing a deed of release to Jacob on Feb. 13 1 1823. The farm on which he lived was on the road from Aekermanville to Factoryville, and is now occupied by Mrs. Fred Speer. The barn which he built of oak timbers from his own lPnd still show~ the beams ei~hteen to twenty inches thick under a heavy plank floor. It had a gable facing the road, bearing bis initials J A and the year 1828. The gable has since been covered over. John's youngest child, Mary, born 1824 1 was only six years old when he died in 1830. Not until she was fully or age was settlement made. In 1846 James, the eldest son, petitioned the court for settlement of the estate of nearly 108 acres of land in Lower Mount Bethel Township, bounded by lands of Jacob Young, John Bitz, Jacob Stocker, George Rueb and Abraham Ack erman. Appraisers chosen were: John H. Keller, John DeYoung, Jacob Ackerman, John Flick, Jacob Stocker, Abraham Ackerman and William Shuman. These seven men reported that it could not be divided among so many without spoiling it. Whereupon James bought it at the appraised value of $3,063.78. This was on August 31, 1846. John's descendants have always been known as •the English Ackermans.• Not that John was English; his speech and family heritage were German like the others. But his wife was Elis abeth (•Betsy•) Kethledge, Keehlidge, or Ketchled~e, daughter of Anthony Kethledge, an Englishman; and since she had the 54 children around her all day while her husband was in the fields she taught them to speak English. To this day many of her descendants have difficulty in trying to speak "Pennsylvania Dutch." Elizabeth was the oldest of Anthony Kethledge's children. There is a tradition in this branch of the Ackerman family that her mother was an Indian girl who died in an epidemic shortly after Betsy was born. Other descendants of Anthony Kethledge dispute this, saying that Elisabeth is the daughter of Jane Thompson, whom Anthony married and whose other chil dren were: James, b. 1788; Nancy (die~ an infant); Margaret, b. 1794; Mary, b. 1797; and a second Nancy, b. 1soo. Curi ously enough, there are other traditions concerning some Indian connection. The late Mr. Horatio Shull, of the Northampton ~ounty Historical Society, was a descendant of Mary Kethledge Stocker. Writing of the matter in a letter to me, he saiJ, "I think if anyone married an Indian woman, it was James. I 've heard that, but never believed it." The Rev. Raymond A. Ketchledge of Johnstown, N.Y. wrote that he had never heard that Anthony had an Indian wife, but he had heard the story of one of his sisters being captured by the Indians,and later restored to her family. This story leads to the conjecture that the Indians did indeed take Betsy back with them until Anthony provided another mother for her in Jane Thompson. Certainly if three different stories about an Indian eon neetion haTe come down through several lines of the Kethlege~, it is reasonable to belieTe that there must be SOME such con nection. Unfortunately we do not have any birth record for Elixabeth Kethledge, nor has any tombstone record been found. Neither can we find the marriage date of Anthony Kethledge and Jane Thompson. If, as is asserted, they were married at StewartsTille, N.J., the ceremony was likely to haTe been performed by the pastor of the old Greenwich Church (Green's Church) and those early records of the Presbyterian Congrega tion haTe been lost or destroyed. But Anthony Ketchledge was born 1758; the birth of James, his second child, has been giTen as Oct. 23, 1739, when his father would have been 30 years of age. This would allow plenty of time for Elizabeth to have been born 7 or 8 years earlier, and of a different mother. Now Anthony Kethledge and his wife Jane Thompson were buried in a private burial ground in what had been an apple orchard on •Honey• Young's farm,(now ~enn's Orchards), south of Fac toryville. On page 257 of the •utstory of Northampton County, Pa.• (1877) this cemetery is called •Thompsan's burying ground. Here there had been in the middle or the last century about 150 stones. In 1928, when Trinity ETangelical Lutheran Church of Bangor, Pa. celebrated its Golden Anniversary, the widow or a former pastor there, Mrs. Benjamin F. Apple, visited friends in Ackermanville. Taken for a drive through the country side, she indicated the location of the burial ground and told of an Indian girl who had been buried there, according to Jacobs. Wetzel. Query: Why would an Indian girl have been buried in that yard if she did not "belong"? 55 Some years later the writer took her father to see the burial ground, which he also remembered as being green with grass and containing about 150 stones. To our dismay we found that hogs had been turned out to root in the field, and only 8 stones were left! These were carefully recorded and a copy sent to the Northampton County Historical Society. They were as follows, ~1th spelling preserved: Here lies the Bodye of Thomas ylr who Died y 20th. of July A.n. 1752 Aged ~ht yeas 5 mon 3 weekss 4 da And of George M1r who died y 23rd• of June A.D. 1765 Aged 2 years AE 6 mo.

In a day when to admit that one had Indian blood was not as acceptable as it has since become, there would baYe been no purpose in saying this if it were not the truth. Until turther data is aYailable, the matter will haYe to rest there. But one thing is noticeable• Whether the true daughter or the step-daughter or Jane Thompson, Betsy Kethledge named her own first daughter Elizabeth Jane, and her first son James. ETidently there was no lack or arrection. Indeed she is eTen called •also one of the daughters of the said Jane Kechlidge• when, on Feb. 1, 1843, along with Margaret Ayres and Nancy Brittain she signs a deed confi:rmimg to Jacob Stocker the 10 A. 27 P. that Jane Thompson Kethledge bad in her lifetime allotted to him and his wife Mary. See Northampton Co. Deed Book A-7, P• 198; but note that Jane Keehlidge had IN H.EJl LIFETL\iE allotted portions of her property to each or Antho ny's children EXCEPT Elizabeth; which would have been natural enough if Elizabeth was not her true daughter. Yet Elizabeth's adding her signature to the deed mentioned aboTe would avoid any awkwardness or legal disagreement. John Ackerman's farm consisted of 103 A. 52 P. of land, one half lying on both sides of the road leading from Acker manville to FactoryYille, the other half on both sides of the road from Factoryville past "Honey• Young's farm (the "old" road to Easton). The lower portion, up on the bill, was called •the Hog-back", The farm was bounded by lands of Jacob Young, John Bitz, Jacob Stocker, George Ruch and Abraham Ackerman. Close to the road near the present house, now owned and occu pied by Mrs• Fred Speer, stood a log cabin, which was subse quently moTed to the o~her side of the road, as mentioned under George3 Ackerman (John, George1 ). In what year the frame hous, was built is not known, but in the cellar can still be seen the hand-hewn beams supporting the floors above, and the attic r1001 still bas the original boards of oak, some of them beautifully quartered. At one time there were two doors in front; but the present owners remodelled and removing one door, substituted windows, making the house much more attractiYe in appearance. The barn still stands as it was built in 1828, with its gable toward the road. Originally the gable had the initials J A and the year 1828 carved in it, but that has since been cov ered over. The beams supporting the floor of heaYy planks are of white oak, cut from John Aekerman'g own wood lot, the widest one twenty and a half inches thick, the smallest eighteen and a half.

James had bought up his father's estate Aug. 31st., 1846, 64 pledging to pay to the widow the yearly interest on her one third, and to the other children their shares of the valuation money on Aug. 21, 1847, viz. $252.25 to each. This allowed less than a year in which to raise over $3,000. It must have proved too heavy a burden, for according to Northampton County Deed Book G-7, p.139, James on Apr. 7, 1847 took on his broth ers John, Anthony, David and Abraham as tenants-in-common, all five pledged together to keep up payments to the widow and the other children. Twelve years later, on Apr. 4, 1859, the tenants in-ooJllDOn sold to Abraham (one of their number) 49 A. 68 P.; and on the same day, to Reuben Fisher, their brother-in-law, two tractsr 1 - 12A. 96P.; 2 - 105 perches. (See Deed Book H-9, PP• 235 and 356). From that date on, Abraham is no longer one of the co-tenants. Meanwhile the mother died in 1855. The petition of David Ackerman, one of her sons, for appraisal and division of her estate was made Oct. 6 1 1856 and states that •the said Elis abeth Ackerman died Intestate about one year since.• The land, 36 A. 120 P., were ad.Judged and confirmed to James Ackerman, the oldest son. James was something of a •gentleman farmer•. It is said he never did a tap of work about the farm himself, but gave orders to his brothers what to do. Final settlement of James Ackerman's estate was made by David Ackerman, administrator, on Apr. 1, 1861. On that date he sold to Isaac Ackerman, son of Henry (See VIII under Henry) not only James' holdings of one-quarter but also the remainder held as tenants-in-common, •the undivided three-quarters• - since Abraham was no longer a co-tenant. In the deed is in cluded •one tract, 36 A. 120 P. being the same premises of which Elizabeth Ackerman died intestate, and which were ad judged and confirmed to the said James Ackerman.• See Deed Book C-10, P• 5n7) III.

The story of his death, as told by his cousins and his bro ther Benjamin in the same company is as followst The compa~ were resting on their arms. Harrison, temporarily •at ease , his profile to the enemy, was combing his hair. He was a fine figure of a man, and had beautiful black hair of which he was rather Tain. Came the warning, •Get down behind the breast works. You'll get shot!" "Aw, they can't shoot anything,• he said. But they COULD shoot, and he was shot dead by a sniper. A captain with his field glasses located the sharpshooter; gaTe Thompson Ackerman a Springfield rifle in place of his regular Harper's Ferry musket with a big bore and a large bullet but inaccurate in target. "Here! Look thro' these glasses. Locate that man in the brush, and get him!" Thompson Ackerman dropped behind a log, saw a puff' of smoke from the brush, and dodged as the bullet hit the log. Thompson's first shot went high; but the next got the man. Arter that, Thompson Ackerman was made a sharpshooter. Once he shot a Con- federate right out of a tree. C • Margaret ~ Ackerman m.

But there is no stone for David. Catharine Flick was the daughter of John Flick and Eve Barbara Koester (Kester, Caster). Mrs. Sarah Flick Merrill said that the Koesters bad a log cabin right near the True ~lue Quarry, formerly called Galloway Quarry. David Ackerman, born in the house now owned by Mrs. Etmna Speer, became a blacksmith. He liTed at Factoryville on the corner across the road leading down to Pleasant Grove. Here bis children were born. Not even the foundation remains now. Across the road and creek from his home was a brick black smith shop where he had 3 forges. Only a few foundation stones now remain, overgrown with grass. He had learned how to weld steel on steel, and his work was of such qualit1 that Mann & Allshouse grist mill in Easton used to send up bushel baskets ful of mill picks for him to sharpen, or, when they had grown stubby, for him to lengthen also. When millstones wore too smooth these mill picks were used to cut deeper the grooTes in the stone. They needed to be tempered just right - not too soft and not too brittle. Later he sold his forges to his cousin John, son of George and Elizabeth (Neilson) Ackerman; then took over the manage ment of John Flick's hotel in Flicksville, where he remained until af'ter the death of his wife, when he removed to Cata sauqua and Maintained the hotel there for some years.

Promoted to Corporal Dec. 1, 1862; honorably discharged Jan.1, 1864, he re-enlisted in the same company and regiment. At Chan cellorsville, Va. he was giTen a Springfield rifle and was made a "sharpshooter", May, 1864. (See under III-C). On one occasion he was left on the field for dead, but recovered consciousness and got back to his company. Among other injuries, the official record states that "July 30, 1864, while bearing a desvatch in front of Petersburg, on the day of the 'Mine Explosion, in five minutes he receiTed three gunshot wounds, one in thigh, one in upper arm, and another in hand of same arm, carrying away the fingers and the despatch they enclosed. lie succeeded in re porting the message verbally, having previously read it in case of loss, and was ta.ken to Field Hospital where the arm was am putated at the shoulder, thence to City Point, Va., and rur loughed home for a short time; then having refused a discharge, he joined his regiment in front of Petersburg, serving until March, 1866, when be was HONORABLY DISCHARGED by reason of Sur geon's Certificate of Disability, caused by gunshot wounds re ceived in action.• The story is told that his furlough after the amputation of his arm coincided with the time of death of his mother, and that he arrived home Just in time to attend her runeral. But loss of his left arm did not seriously hinuer Thompson's activities as a fisherman and hunter. Also, while living in Bangor. Pa. he served in the civil offices of Con- stable and Supervisor. 1.

Sept. 3 1 1843 Josiah Ackerman was named for his uncle, Josiah Bernard Matts, who married his mother's sister, Lydia Flick. Davis' "History or Bucks County", pp.463-464, tells us: "The Matts 85 family of Richland is descended from John Michael Metz, who was born in the city of Metz, Germany in 1750 and came to Phil adelphia before 17RO. Tanner and currier. Married Barbara Fayman. During the Revolution he was impressed into the Amer ican army, and was in the battle of Germantown. After the bat tle he was engaged in finishing leather for knapsacks, in Al lentown. His son John succeeded to his property, four miles northeast of Quakertown. In 1824 elected to the legislature. The children married into the families of Flick, Dickson, etc." Josiah Ackerman enlisted with his brother Thompson in Co. 1-- 51st. Regt., and like him re-enlisted when his three years of service were ended, Jan. 1, 1864. Along with Thompson, he took part "in the battles of second Bull Run, Chantilly, South Moun ~ain and Antietam, where the regiment gained historic fame by its celebrated charge and capture of the 'Stone Bridge' over Antietam Creek, assisted by the 51st. New York Infantry." This battle was fought Sept. 16-17, 1862. The Ackerman family pre serve the story thus," The 51st. Pennsylvania Regiment had been in Burnside's Division until Just before Antietam• The Confed erates were up on a rise of ground - a low hill• Grape and can ister raked the bridge and prevented capture. When Meade asked Burnside if he could take Antietam Bridge, he replied, 'Give me my old command (the 51st. Pennsylvania and the 51st. New York), and I'll take the bridge.' So Josiah and Thompson, under Burn side, helped capture that bridge, and their company was the first to cross it• Terrible slaughter!" At the "stone wall" before Fredericksburg, many of the Union men had been killed by Confederate fire. Josiah and Thompson solemnly shook hands, expecting to die in the attack. Then Burnside ordered retreat. The writer has in her possession a letter signed Jointly by these two brothers to their mother, dated Jan. 28th., 1863 at Fredericksburg, Va., in which they assure her they have receiv ed the boots she sent, and inquire about the receipt of some money they had sent home. Also, I quote: "I must now state to you that Father General Burnside has rezined and that General Hooker is now in command of the Army of the Potomac. We haven't received that express Box yet and I am a going to send the re ceit home again and I think that you can make the Howard Ex press Company pay for it. if there was any strong drink in it why it would not go any further then washington and if it had I wish you would let me know •• , •• We have a great deal of rany weather down here at presant but the weather is warm." Josiah was mustered out with his company, July 27, 1865. 1. Lettie6 Ackerman m. Tom Stein b. Dec. 29, 1809 d. Nov.--, 1927 No issue 2. Albert6 Ackerman ID• Lillie Strunk b. July--, 1872 b.

His re~iment, the 129th., did not get to see any battle, for the war was over by the time they fin ished training as recruits. At the close of the war he worked on a farm near Easton for a year; then walked all the way to Philadelphia, where he worked his way thro' the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Upon graduation, he was offered a position with the Goodman Drug Co. at Omaha, Nebr. After a few months there, he was sent to Grand Island, Hall Co., Nebr. to open a retail store for the Company. lie later entered the drug business with a partner. Married Lillie May Clark April 15, 1877. Shortly after the birth of his first child, Mabel Catherine on Jan. 19, 1878, he was severely burned trying vainly to save the life or his mother-in-law. Upon returning to his business, "he found that his partner had beat him out of everything", his son David re lates. The government had granted thousands of acres of land to the men who built the railroads across the country, many of whom did not wish to settle on their land but sold it at a prorit. When the government offered land free to Civil War veterans, David Ackerman and his brother-in-law, Clark, took up a tract of 160 acres somewhere in the Dakotas. They were prospering - had sold 2000 tons of hay off the land; had some fine cattle and horses - when they learned of an Indian raid, and barely 88 escaped massacre. He then took a position with the government land Office, busy allotting land to homesteaders. Later was elected County Clerk of Hall County, which position he held for 14 years. Later elected County Assessor; held that for R years. Chairman of the County Republican Committee for several years.

Reuben Ackerman and Josephine Diehl were married on June 6, 1868 by Rev. Mr. Foresman at his parsonage in Mount Bethel, Capt. John Jacoby attending as a witness, Reuben tells an in teresting story of obtaining a horse and buggy at Easton for the occasion. It seems that while living in Flicksville, he had had complete charge of a horse named "Billy" and had taught him to perform certain tricks. But when the family moved to Catasauqua his father sold the horse to Levi Seiple, a clerk at William H. Speer's store. A horse doctor bought it from Seiple and kept it in Hemingway's stable at 4th. & Church Sts, in Easton. Subsequently Hemingway bought the horse and kept 89 it for the exclusive use of Dr. Field (father of w. Gibson Field mentioned on P• 270 of •History ot Northampton Co.•• 1877.) Reuben applied for a horse at Hemingway's stable and recognized "Billy• in a stall. But the owner refused to rent him to a stranger. Reuben demonstrated that the horse not only knew him• but when led out trom bis stall into wider space would do tricks for him. That settled all doubts as to how this •stranger• would treat the horse, and so •Billy• carried the bride and groom on their short honeymoon trip to stay overnight at the home ot Sam and Barbara MacFallo Reuben Ackerman was a bricklayer. He learned his trade under Joe Lilly of Catasauqua. Later worked under John McPherson in Easton. who often sent him on special jobs requiring skill. 1. Caroline6 Ackerman m.6/29/ John Pfister b.

She was the dau. of Isaac & Margaret Albert. ls buried in the old cemetery at Bangor, Pa. Abraham Ackerman served in the Civil War as Sergeant in Co. K, 153rd. Regt. of Pa. Volunteers. Mustered in Oct. 11, 1862; mustered out with his company July 23, 1863. He was a special sharp-shooter with his regiment. The story is told of him, that at the battle of Chancellorsville (May2-3, l.863) between the Union Army of the Potomac under Major-Gen eral Hooker and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under General Lee, when ordered to retreat, he said• I'm going to get that general on the white horse first!£ With sure aim he did •get• the officer. It was in this battle that •stonewa11• Jackson was mortally wounded, and some of the Ackerman family believe it was Abraham Ackerman's bullet that felled him. But inasmuch as in various printed accounts •stonewa11• Jackson is said to have been riding his well knolfJl •stout built, long paced Old Sorrel•, it must have been another officer riding the white horse. Before the war, Abraham was a co-tenant with his brothers 103 James, John, Anthony and David on Apr. 4, 1859.(See p.64). Twelve years later, on Apr. 4, 1859, he purchased outright 49 A.& 68 P. as his share, so that he was not a signatory to a deed of sale to Isaac Ackerman, Apr. 1, 1861J of the land still held at the time of James' death, James held one-quarter and John, Anthony and David the remaining undivided three quarters. Tall and raw-boned, be lived up over the bill from Flicks ville, in a small house on a side lane extending toward Bangor. He was an excellent blacksmith; could work in steel, and made wonderfully tempered knives. A. Anna Margaret5 Ackerman m• John Kitchen be Oct. 1 1 1855 d. May 17, 1940 Lived at Columbia, N.J.

Yet by the time her mother died in 1855, she had 9 of her 13 children. Her husband, a millwright, was an ambi tious man, but not always fortunate. At first, Reuben Fisher bought land east of Martin's Creek. Northampton Co. Deed Book E-8, p.4B7; John DeYoung, merchant, sells to Reuben Fisher, millwright, lOn A, starting in the public road from Easton to Richmond, and extending alon~ land of Joseph Galloway and Nathaniel Brittain, et al. This was on 1-lar. 21!-, 1851. Next, on Apr. 2, 1857 (see Deed Book F-9, p.213), he pur chased from his wife's Aunt Polly (Kethledge) Stocker, widow of Jacob Stocker, 52 A. 108 P. - "the same premises which David Ayres and Margaret his wife sold to Jacob and Mary Stocker Apr. 12, 1853." (Mary Stocker, Margaret Ayres and Betsy Ackerman were all daughters of Anthony Kethledge.) This land started on the east side of Martin's Creek, then crossed the creek and extended "along other land of Mary Stocker•·•· along land of Jacob Young." In the same deed, she sold also 4 A. 65 P. "Beginning at a White Oak Tree and by land belonging to the estate of John Ackerman deceased •••• to a post •••• by land of William Shuman ••• by the above tract. IT BEING PART OF A LARGER TRACT OF LAND LONG SINCE GRANTED BY JOHN ACKERMAN AND WIFE TO JACOB STOCKER AND WIFE 30 YEARS A&O." The sale of this "larger tract" by John Ackerr1an and Eliz abeth his wife could not be found recorded. But apparently it would have been made about 1827, and John Ackerman was still living at that time. The acreage sold was probably a part of that assigned to John by his brother Jacob on Feb.13, 1823. Then on Apr. 4, 1859 lleuben Fisher bought from his brothers in-law, James, Anthony, David and Abraham Ackerman, 12 A. 96 P. and an addit1onal 1 A ■ 105 P. with water rights granted over the land of James Ackerman for the purpose of a mill and what ever machinery he might think propcr.(See Deed Book H-9, pp. 350-358) What was built thereon, in the section known as Fac toryville, becomes clear through a Court Order dated Nov. 4, 1861, wherein the Sheriff, Thomas Heclonan, on Jan. 20, 1862 sold back to three Ackerman brothers (John, Anthony and David~ 9 acres and 115 perches on which were erected "a Two-Story Brick Tavern House, 30x40 feet; Frame Shed, 30x40 feet; Slate Factory, 20x40 feet; Chip Mill, 26x30 feet; Frame Shop 20x26 105 and a Two-Story Frame dwelling house, and store room 20x26 feet.• This two-story frame house and store room stood on the southeast corner of the junction of the "old" road to Easton and that leading to Pleasant ~rove along Martin's Creek• In this house lived David, the blacksmith (see p.80), and all his children were born there. Mow not even the foundation remains. Fisher also had a flour mill at the southwest corner of the same junction of roads at Factoryville. Operated later by Geo. Speer, it burned down about 1895 or 1900. The "Tavern House•, now a dwelling, still stands on the road from Factoryville to Ackermanville. The bricks of which it is built are said to have been molded from clay dug in the neigh borhood. The entire 9 A. 115 P. were subsequently sold to Philip Du tot of Mauch Chunk & Lawrence Dutot of Lower Mt. Bethel. This was in 1866 {See Deed Book E-11, p. 500), and •outott's Slate Factory• supplied work for people nearby. Yet in 1945 nobody in the neighborhood seemed to know anything about it, or about Lawrence Dutott himself, althot he had lived in a house that once stood just above John Ackerman's own place, and had served from there as 2nd.

Jacob Ackerman was the third son or John and Catharine (Bleam) Ackerman, and was an aetiTe Mennonite. Thus, in Northampton Co. Deed Book E-11, p. 44& under date Dec. 28, 1822, Abraham Bickley or the Twp. or Smithrield, Northampton Co., gentleman, sells ror $1.00 to Herman Godshalk and Jacob Ackerman •Trustees of the Mennonist Society in Plain field, Upper and lower Mount Bethel Townships•, a lot in Lower Mt. Bethel •Beginning at a atone corner and land of Henry Miller•••• by land or said Abraham Bickley•••• by land or John Klineh, Jr ••••• by land or said Abraham Bick ley to place of beguming CONTAINING 2 acres more or less• •• •• (part or 6 A. 68 P. which were patented to Abraham Bickley Oct. 31, 1804). This is the lot on which now stands Trinity ETangelieal Lutheran Church in Bangor, Pa. and where the old 112 Mennonist graveyard still stands. (The township of Smithfield where Abraham Bickley lived, has been a part of Monroe County ever since 1836 when Monroe was erected from Northampton Co.) On May 7, 1825 Harmon Godshalk and Jacob Ackerman again are mentioned as "Trustees of the Mennonist Congregation of the Twp. of Lower Mt. Bethel. (See Wenger - p. 235.) Jacob was probably operating the mill before his father's death. And to him fell the task of dividing his father's es tate equitably among the six sons, according to Mennonite cus tom. (See page 50.) To George, the bachelor, probably went a cash settlement; John never recorded the deed specifying his share, tho' his land is known approximately; Jacob himself bad the mill property; David received 194 A. 63 P.; Henry, 103 A. 95P.; Abraham, 108 A. 39 P.

In it he mentions wife Elizabeth; and children as followst Valentine, Catharine, Elizabeth, Hannah, Mary u., Conrad, and Ever. Execrs.; wife and Caspar Doll. In the administration of the estate of Jacob, the miller, dated Apr. 20, 1849 1 the mill property, consisting of grist and saw mill and 50 A. 130 P. of land, was allotted to John, the eldest son. This grist mill was the second to be built on the original site. According to information handed down from Samuel Ackerman, father-in-law of lienry Wetzel, this second mill was built in 1822. Foundation stones of the old est mill can still be seen inside. John lived only 11 years longer than his father Jacob. Upon his death in 1860 his two eldest sons, Enos and William, were made administrators of their father's estate. Deed Book A-11. P• •66 shows that according to Orphans' Court provisions, they sold to the highest bidder, their youngest brother, Jacob. J. Ackerman, for $11,027 and 25/100 47 A. 2 P., "being the larger part of the mill property" adjudged to John Ackerman in settlement of estate of Jacob the miller. This was on Apr. 2, 1861.

Oct. 24, 1893 Both buried Plainfield Cemetery There were three Shooks who married Aclcerman sisters; Henry, above, for whom no dates are available; George, born Oct. 22, 1802; and Peter, born Mar. 11, 1809. According to Marietta Shook, youngest child of George,(11 below), George, Henry and Peter Shook were brothers. She said that their fa ther died when George, the oldest son, was about 14 years oldJ that the father was only about 40 years old when he died; and that he was buried in Plainfield Cemetery. The mother, Mar gater, then married a man named Custard and went from Plain field Twp. to Monroe County to live, taking the boys with her. Search of all the Shook baptisms recorded in Dr. Henry Kief fer's "Some of the First Settlers of 1''orks of the Delaware" showed baptisms of children of John Schuck & wife Juliana; of 1150 Adam Schuck & wife Barbara; of Henry Schug & wife Elizabeth; of Peter Shuck & wife Susanna; and of Jacob Schug & wife Su sanna; with dates ranging from 1781 to 1813. But none of these fitted in. Could then these Shooks who married Ackerman sisters have been of Mennonite origin? Indeed, would Jacob Ackerman have permitted his daughters to marry anybody BUT Mennonites? Then no use to look for baptismal records. As someone has said, •For Mennonite information you must look up deeds and tombstone inscriptions." In Plainfield Cemetery, in the 4th. row to the right of the gate nearest to the stone wall are two tombstones: Philip Schuckt b. Jan. 7, 1734 d. Jan. 24, 1811 ~lizabeth Schuck (nee Stotz), wife of Philip, b. Aug. 2fi, 1739 d• Nov. 11, 1810 Married 53 years. Had 6 sons & 4 daughters. 10 children: but nowhere do we find record of their baptisms. Yet they were Plainfield Twp. people. Philip Shook had an o riginal grant made to him of 79 A. 120 P. on Mar. 22, 1808. According to some deeds, Philip Schuck left a will. It is not on record; neither the original nor a copy can be found at the Register of Wills Office in the Northampton Co. Court House. But Jacob Shook, as surviving Executor of Philip Shook, de ceased, late of Plainfield Twp., on Mar. 21, 1828 sold to Jacob Ackerman, miller, of Lower Mt. Bethel 23 A. 146 P. out of the original grant mentioned above, the land thus sold to Jacob Ackerman being "by other land of Philip Shook dec'd ••• by land of David Ackerman ••• by land of Jacob Ackerman."(See Deed Book li-5, p.640) So then, Philip Shook and his family were close neighbors to the Ackennans. Moreover, in Plainfield Cemetery, in the 8th. row to the right, as given by Rev. A.S.Leiby, pastor of the Reformed Con gregation of Plainfield Church, is this stone: Abraham Schook - b. July lfi, 1773; do Nov. 28, 1815 This Abraham would have been 42 years old when he died. He would have been 29 when George was born. ( Earlier children may have been daughters.) George would have been 13 when Abra ham Shook died. In addition, the administration of the estate of Abraham Schuck shows Margaret Schuck and Jacob Schuck as administra tors. Jacob is not mentioned as a son, only as Administrator. iie may indeed have been the same Jacob Schuck who was Executor for his father Philip Schuck. The balance of the estate was $1,3~5.R6, to be divided between the Widow and 8 children. None of these children's names appear. From all these circumstances it would appear, therefore, that Henry, George and Peter Shook were sons of Abraham 1 and grandsons of Philip and Elizabeth Shook. 151 When Jacob Ackerman, Elizabeth's father, died, George Shook bought Purpart #8, a timber lot containing 2A.47 P. adjoining the mill tract, appraised at $60 per acre. The deed states "the school house and lot belonging thereto is included in last named Lot No. 8 which was given by said de cedent for school purposes, and which is therefore hereby re served and excepted for said purpose by and with consent of the heirs of said deceased." George also bought one-sixth part of a limestone quarry in Forks Twp., appraised at $20. Ihe map accompanying the settlement papers indicates that the school house lot was 10 perches of land. The school built thereon is now enclosed within a house, standing on the road from Ackermanville to Pen Argyl and surrounded now by land of late Jacobs. Wetzel. George Shook married Elizabeth Ackerman on Sept. lR, 1823. His occupation was that of tailor and farmer. A. Daniel 5 Shook m.1. Malinda Heimer b. Apr. 10, 1824 dau. of Nicholas fieimer d.

Christiann Carl 1, Emma6 Shelly m. Harry Cressman Lived Hichlandtown, Pa. IX. Lena4 Ackerman m. Jacob Gottschalk Died before 1849 of Plainfield Twp. No dates for Lena, except her marriage date. From 184 the collection of Newspaper Records of Marriages & Deaths in Northampton Co. 1799-1851, compiled by Henry F. Marx: "Married - On Apr. 10th., 1832 by the Rev. Mr. Hoffeditz, Mr. Jacob Gottschall, of Plainfield, to the amiable Miss Magdalena Ackermann of Lower Mount Bethel." Her death occurred before April 20, 1849, when settlement was made of the estate of her father, Jacob Ackerman; for among the heirs are listed all four of her children, with Jacob Gottschalk named as guardian. Jacob Gottschalk 1 s brother Aaron married Lena's sister Lydia. (See X, below). It is quite likely that they were sons of Herman Gottschalk, of Plainfield Twp., previously mention ed as having been associated with Jacob Ackerman in Mennonite Church affairs. "The Genealogical History or the Gottschall Family", by ReT. N.B.Grubb, printed 1924, tells us that "Rev. Jacob Gaedschalk, the common ancestor of the numerous Gott schall families in America, was born about 1670. Came from Gog, in the community of Cleeves, near the border of Holland and the Rhine country; came to America & settled in German town in 1702, where he united with the Mennonite congregation The book tells of his activities; of his advancement to the position of Bishop; of his will, drawn in 1760, and his deat~ in 1763. He had 5 children - 3 sons & 2 daughters, viz.: Gottshall, m. Eva Custer; John Gottshall (died 1759), m. Helena----; Herman Gottshall; Anna Gottshall, m. Peter Custer; Magdalena Gottshall, m. William Nash as his 2nd. wife; died prior to 1763. The rest of this Family History deals only with descendants of the first son, Gottshall Gottshall, who was b.1093; d.1748; and had 14 children. He lived on a farm adjoining that of his father in Towamencin Twp., Montgomery Co. Of Herman Gottshall, the third son, b. probably about 1n98 or 1700, there is no further. mention. But since it was common practice to hand down the father's and grandfather's names, it seems reasonable to suppose that the Herman Gottschalk of Plainfield Twp., a trustee of the Mennonist Congregation of Lower Mt.

Surprisjngly, a log house was revealed under the clapboards, showing still the port hole windows probably used in defending it against Indians, It is to be re~retted that no photograph was taken of it at that time, Next to it had been a mud and .frame one and-a-half story house with odd wide windows and benches on the side. It had a huge fireplace, witl1 cupboards on either side. There still remains the well-house, marked with a half circle and the initials DA and date 1839. It has been moved from front to back of the house. Where it had been, there was a cave, now covered over with a concrete top. 193 Photo taken in 1933 of an old shed once belonging to David Ackerman.

Jeremiah Hopple m.2, Elizabeth Long Because he was a carpenter Isaac was called "Wood Isaac", to distinguish him from his cousin "Swartz Isaac". In 1"11'>1 he bought from the heirs of John Ackerman the farm now 01med by his granddaughter, Emma Speer. At the time of purchase there stood a log cabin near the road, which soon Isaac removed across to the other side, and there used it for carpentry and woodwork. Later his wife set up her carpet loom there. Then it was dismantled ancl the timbers used for a cider mill ■ The Dutotts lived in a little house on the property,about a quarter mile north of the Isaac Ackerman home on a "little hill". Not far from this location, close to the darn, Mrs, Speer's father Ulysses plowed up an unusually perfect spec imen of an Indian mill - a stone about lS inches square with a central bowl-like denression for grinding the p:rain with the stone pestle. In addition, she has a splendid collection of arrow heads, mounted in a frame, found on the farm. 5 A. Emma Alice Ackerman m. Charles Stofflet b. Nov, 20, 181'ifi b. Feb. 28, 1848 d, Sept.--, 1915 d.

Apr. 1 1 1867 dau. of Henry Huth(see p.102) Both bnried in the old Mennonite Cemetery, Bangor, Pa. Abrahm:i, youngest of the six sons of John & Catherine (Bleam) Ackerman, was the last to survive. He had received as his share of his father's estate, on Feb. 13, 1823 81 A. 128 P. from the original 563 A. & 14 P.; also 26 A. 71 P. additional from Jacob's O\fll land.(See Deed Book H-7, P• 446). The Easton Argus records his deathr "Abraham Ackerr.mn died in Lower Mt. Bethel Feb. 28, 1868. Aged about 80 years. Had no children." A widower and chilclless, his estate was inherited by his nephews and nieces or their heirs. Settlement was made Dec. 21, 1868, with over 90 signatures of heirs. In that year, closely following the Civil War, bis estate was val ued ancl sold, in two lots, for a total of $11, 84fl.1fl. (See Deed Hook F-12, P• 588) 233 CHAPTER 4 Besides the Mennonite George Ackerman, there was a Stephen Ackerman living in Bucks County at the same time, not many miles away, owning land in Haycock and Richland Townships. Many of his descendants bore the same names as did those of George Acli:erman. Moreover, his will gives his complete name as Georr;e Stephen Ackernian. Perhaps these two il!lllligrants were cousins: we do not know. In tracing their descendants the confusion due to similarity of names is partially over come by searching for church affiliations and baptisms, for Stephen Ackerman was of the Lutheran faith. A number of his descenclants attend the reunions at Aclcerr:ianville, and thro 1 their help a thin line of descent has been traced. It is hoped that the skeleton frame here provided, and the few scat tered notes herewith, may prove the starting point for some member of this line to continue the genealogical worlc.

Just as Ackermanville was so named because of the number of Ackermans livint there, so FlicksVille was named for all the Fl iclrn who 1 i ved in the vie ini ty. Uaptain Gerlach Paul Flicl~, the immigrant ancestor of this 1 ine in Ar.icrica has been written up in the Pennsylvania Mag azine of History and Biography in the July issue, 1029, by the late Dr. Alexander c. Flick, then New York State Historian at Albany, N.Y., and himself descended from Gerlach Paul's young est son, Gerlach Paul l<'lick, Jr. (b. 1777; buried at Bath, Pa.) The article referred to shows the immigrant to have been born March 7, 1728; that he came to America Sept. 23, 17111 on the ship "Neptune"; married Anna Catharine Fabian on Oct. 28, 17~~; lived first in Bedminster Township, B1Jcks Co., later in Moor Township, Northampton Uo.; died Jan. 20, 182A, aged 97 yrs. 10 mos. 13 days; buried in Zions Stone Church Cemetery, Kreid ersTille, Pa. From Henry F. Marx's Collection of Newspaper Uecords of Marriages and Ueaths in Northampton County 1799-1851: Taken froc the Friday, Feb. 10, 1826 edition of "Northampton Cor responclent" - "Died - on January 20th. in Moore Township, Mr. Paul Flick, Sen., aged 97 years, 10 months and 13 days. He left 3 sons and 8 daughters, 99 grandchildren, 1~6 great grandchildren, and 12 great-great-grandchilt'l.ren." He hacl served in the Hevolutionary Army as C"ptain of the 8th. Company, 4th. Battalion, Northampton Co. Militia, com mandert by Col. John Sie~frie~ and Lieut. Col. Nicholas Kern. His will, datccl Nov. 12, 1821'i, mentions sons C11.spar, Martin· and Paul; and daughters 11argaretha marri~d to Jacob Gilbert; Catharine r:iarried to Jacob Hugus; Anna Maria married to Jacob Defenderfer; Susanna married to Peter Sholl; Elizabeth married to George Greber; Maria Magdalena married to Peter Muffly; Sofya married to John tteder; and Gertrante married to Edward Greenerneycr. While Gerlach Paul Flick was still living in lledminsterTwp • .Bucks Co., his first two children were born: Anna Margaret, Aug. 18, 175B; and John Caspar, born June 22, baptized Nov. 14, 17~8, according to records of Tohickon Heformed Church. John Caspar Flick became a miller by trade, like his father before him. Taxed in Moor Twp. in 1780 f.130 as a single man, he later married "Betsy" Foulk. He served as a private in the fieTolution, and in 1794 was Captain of the 1st. Company of the 4th. Regiment of Northampton Co. Militia. In 1785 he was still living in Moor Twp., according to tax lists. But in 1802 he bought from Henry Rothrock (See Northampton Co. Ueed Book B-5, p.47) 134 A. 46 P. -"A Certain Plantation and Tract of land called 'Springfield' situate in Smalley's Creek in Lower Mount Bethel•.,, by Land of li0 nry Fell •.• by land of Christian liergee •·• by land of Casper Flick (evidently he already had land there), •• by land of Samuel Rothrock." Then in 1804 (Deed Book G-2, p. fl37) he bought from Philip Sholl and Margaret his wife "A certain tract or Piece of Land situate in Upper Mount hethel Twp., bounded by lands now or late of Henry Rothrock, John Moyer, John Beisher and others and Containing 10 acres more or less late the Estate of John ,tothroclc with a Grist Mill thereon erected and other appur tPnances." l'his location in Upper Mount llethel seemed a little odd. Ii hen however in 1820 Casper Flick and Elizabeth his wife sold these 30 acres to George Moyer, the deed recites "A certain Tract of land situate (therein said in UPPER mount liethel but actually in Lower Ilount Bethel)". See Deed Book G-4, P• 913. On April 16, 1830 Casper Flick, Hiller, and wi:fe sold to John Cressman "4 contiguous pieces o:f land Containing 100 A strict measure, together with all and singular the Buildings, Improvel!lents, Mills, Mill Pond, races, ways, woods, waters, watercourses(excepting and reserving the privilege o:f takin,r; water :from the said Creek at the place where there was :for merly a Darn when there is a Surplus o:f Water more than is Su:f:ficient :for the use o:f the Mill or Mills(but at no other time) :for the purpose o:f Watering meadow and :for no other use or intent whatsoever.) Also the :further privilege o:f makin« or erecting a bridge over the Mill race :for the convenienoy o:f passing and repassing to other lands o:f said C~sper Flick his heirs ancl assigns." See Deed Book F-6, P• 3159. A re-aurvey made later showed "it is deficient in quantity 1 acre and 2r. perches." So it was made right Sept. 17, 1830, In this deed Casper Flick, grantor, is said to be "late of Lower Mount Bethel." He had moved to western Pennsylvania. The original mill was torn down and rebuilt by the Cress man family in 1838; but its location is well known to inhab itants of Flicksville. It stood on the left side or the road leading rrom F'licksville to Bangor, inunediately beyond the road that turns toward Ackel'I!lanville over the Fliclcsville branch of Martin's Creek. these deeds just mentioned place Casper Flick near this junction of roads. Moreover a number of his children like ~ise lived near: John li'lick, Catharine, Jacob, Polly, Jesse and Lydia. Catharine's husband, Daniel Stabp(Stopp) bought land in 1827, adjoining land o:f Nicholas Kraemer and the heirs of Jonathan Nelson ••• by lancl of Philip Kester •• by lancl o:f Christian Shick. (Deed Book C-~, P• 449½) Correspondence with the late Dr. Alexander c. Flick gives the following list of children of John Casper Flick and Elizabeth Foulk: John Flick, b. Jan. 1, 1783; d. Jan. 1, 1809 m. Eve Barbara Koester (6 children) Jonas Flick m. Mary Keim (8 ! ) Betsy Flick m. William J. Edmonds (4 " ) Joseph Flick m.1. Catherine Wilson m.2. Hannah Smith Went to Clarion Co., Pa.

It is known that John 1"licl, 1 s SON Joseph and his DAUGHTER Lydia lYho married Josiah Bernard Matts went to Wisconsin about that time. But these given above are John's brother and sister. The earliest record of land bought by the eldest of these children, John l<'lick, is of 27 A. 80 P. from John Beysher & Anna Magdalena his wife on June 21, 1809 in Lowel' Mount Beth el Twp. It adjoined his father's land, and also a "School house Lot." (Ueed Book G-3, P• ]98). It is a question wheth er this is the same school house lot whioh John and his wife Barbara sold Jan. A, 1827 to "John Unangst, Jacob Flick and George Mires, Trustees for the superintending and manage ment of a School and a House of public Worship near to Casper Fliok 1 s Mill all in the Township of Lower Mount Bethel." The deed recites: "Whereas divers inhabitants of the township a foresaidhave mutually agreed to contribute by way of Subscrip tion for the erecting or building a House of Public Worship and a School House or Seminary of learning and the Inhabi tants in the vicinity thereof have agreed that there shall be annually elected three Persons in the capacity of Trust ees to superintend all and singular the requisites necessary and proper for the Advancement promotion and discipline of the said of Public Worship and school House or Seminary of learning, subject and under such Rules regulations and re strictions as the members thereof shall or may hereafter think meet to adopt." This school lot is located just across the creek on the road leading to Ackermanville. The brick school house is now a private dwellin~ with attached porch. That it, or an earlier structure, was already built there by August, 1828 is evidenced by the earliest record of baptisms, presumably by the Reformed minister, Hev. Theodore L. Hoffeditz, who according to information given by the late Dr. William J. Hinke, was pastor at Upper and LowerMount Bethel, Hamilton and Smithfield from 1812-183~. Later baptisms recorded were by Isaac K. Loos, Samuel A. Hitner andJosiah May, all Heformed ministers. Two notations in German script on the back fly leaf, as translated by Dr. Hinke, read: "August 28, 1828, a collection was taken in the school house at the harvest home service, held by llev.7Ir.7Iorec1.itz -(itwa11 given) to the Bible Society. It amounted to 72 cents which was handed to Mr. Hofeditz." (Underlining is ~ine) 250 ABOVE: The John Fliclc house. Built of' brick; remarkable f'or its rare concave ftkeyed" joints.

Now used as a dwelling. 251 "August 25, 1831, a collection was t[!J~en at the harvest home service, held by Mr. Hofeditz, for it:1.nerant preachers of the Reformed Church, one dollar and 59 cents, which Mr. liofeditz received." The baptisms, which begin June 22, 1<::29, show that sever al of Casper Flick's children lived nearby.

November 11, 1838 MOTE: Altho 1 this record of baptisms is the earliest ac count of any church con,,-egation in Flicksville, it is said that there were Mennonite and Presbyterian congregations even earlier. On the hillside near True Blue Quarry just south of Flicksville still remain headstones bearing early dates and Scotch-Irish names in a burying ground now gullied by many rains and overgrown with trees and bushes. The Re formed con~regation was in existence by 1828; the Lutherans organized about 1842. And when in 1849 the first Union Church was built, there were four congregations that worship ped there. In an account of the History of Allentown Conference of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania (Evangelical Lutheran), by Preston A. Laury, 1926, St. Paul's Church, Flicksville, is dated 1847. "The first house of worship was destroyed by fire. Then in January» 1803, the Lutheran» Reformed, Men nonite and Presbyterian congregations resolved to ereot a church in which all would have equal rights. "The resolutions provided: 1. No meetings tb be held in the evening. 2. Funerals to have preference. 3. Members of one denomination were not to interfere with the business of another denomination. 2152 4. The minister of one denomination not allowed to present a minister of another denomination to preach. 6. No conrusion or 'new measures' shall be tolerated in the serTices. e. Each denomination to contribute equal sums towards the re pairs or improvements. 7. No alterations or change of regulations without consent of majority of the denominations. 8. A trustee by each denomination to be elected on the first day of January. 9, Rights in the property may be bought or sold if the ma Jori ty so agree." Some time thereafter, the exact date unknown, the Presby terians sold their interest in the property to the Reformed Church and the Mennonites sold theirs to the Ltttherans. With no further digression, let us return to the Flicks. On April 16, 1830 Casper Flick, miller, when 72 years old, sold his mill property to John Cressman (called Christman in the body of the deed), and went with some of his children to Tobey Twp., .Armstrong Co., Pa. (since 1839 in Clarion Co.), near Rimersburg. Philip Kester, a brother of Eve Barbara Kes ter wife of John Flick, was also in Armstrong Co. in 1832. There seems to have been a migration to Western PP.nnsylvania in the 1830 1 8' But John Flick, born Jan. 1, 1783, remained in Flicksville and built a substantial brick house on the main highway from Martin's Creek to Bangor, where he lived until he died Jan. 1, 1869. On May 27, 1810 he had married Eve B3-l"bara Kester, born 1780, died 18~8, the daughter of Philip Kester (I John Flick 1 s rather, t;asper Flicl<, died in Tobey Twp., Arm s tr·onp. Co. (now in Clarion Vo.), leavinp: a widow ancl eleven children. This was sometime before Aug. 24, 18:13, for on tliat date John Flick was given power of attorney by other heirs to dispose of anr property remaining in Lower Mount liethcl Twp. (Sec Letter of Attorney Bnok No. 3, p. 257 &c.) There were Jacob Flick & Sara his w:ife; Jonas Flicl: l'a Mary; Joseph Flick & Catharine; Charles Flick & Catharine; Jesse Flicl: ,°'< Susanna; lienr~· Riegel & Margaret his wife; Will iart Edmonds & Elizabeth his wife; Daniel Stop & Catharine; John Miller & Mary; Jacob Miller & Lydia. So in April, 1831 Jolm Flick, Innkeeper, and wife sold to Joshua Smith of Lower Mt. Bethel, farmer, an acreage of 13n A. 70 P. "Extending to a stone in the middle of the krick, including all water courses excepting a Certain Water Vourse which Casper Flick had 1?:r::mted to Michael C,..essman •" (See Ueed hook F-H, P• 220) John Flick becarie a pror!iincnt r.1an in Flick9Ville. Ile was a County Cor.1P1issioncr in 1P'.l4. He "as the first postmaster tr1ere when t11e FlicJrsville postoffice was establislled on Jan. 24, 1837. A Uemocrat in politics, he was strongly in favor of the South at the time of the C!vll War. A stubborn man of strong opinions, he spoke out in no uncertain terms, often violently. Si tuatC'rl as he was in the r.dclst of stronp: ly Repnblic<1.n ncit'.;hbors, this dirl not sit well with tlie com munity. It was sair1 of hir.1, "If he t,acln 1 t been such an im portant man, he wonld have been tarred and feathered ancl ridden on a rail!" Yet his inflnence was felt. Anrl when 254 cn·.istm0nts from that section of Northa!'!pton Vounty fell off, <.:01. Jacob Dachrodt carte up froH: Easton and rnarle a blistering arldress to the people assembled in front of Speer's Store a cross fror1 Flick 1 s house. R.F.Ackerman, the writer's father, wns only a lad at the time, but the speecl1 of Col. Dachrodt madsa deep and lasting: impression on i1im; for he was well a ware that John Flick, his granc1father, fiercely resented the fact that four of his daughter Catharine's sons were in the Union Army.

Oh, husbancl! That land of delight!? Where Indians do nurcler ancl pillage by night! Your house and your barn they will burn to the ground While your wife and your children lie murderecl arouml! So stay on your farm, that you suffer no loss; For the stone that keeps rolling, it gathers no moss. 11 But Deborah and Lydia were of tougher fibre. They went by covered wagon; and when they came back f'or a visit, again it was by covered wagon, until the Erie Canal was opened to larger boats, which made part of the journey much easier. 5.
