Hello Karen:- There may not be more than names and dates, but check http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ Click on Early Shelburne Records [The Nova Scotia flag is proudly flying!] There might also be something as I feel certain the family were Loyalists -- check Nova Scotia Links There might be mention in Simeon Perkins Diary -- at the early date, Queens and Shelburne were Queens County.

Hello Ingrid:- There are some early Shelburne records on my homepage http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ They may not include the Acker family.

Hello Jerry and other readers:- I am familiar with the surname RANDALL but do not have the history of same -- the Liverpool part of the history should be available at Thomas H. Raddall Research Centre -- part of the Simeon Perkins Museum. There are Simeon Perkins notes on my homepage http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ To the best of my knowledge, if one went to School Street in Milton, Queens County -- drive back as far as possible -- one would be able to locate the RANDALL farm of that area. There were four farms grouped together -- one was that of my gr.grandfather Elisha Ford, who also had a mill -- designed the water wheel for Moir's Mill at Bedford -- now a museum. Also, many moved to Brookfield and area during gold rush times, also opportunity for free land.
