Hello to All, Happy Valentine's Day! Here is my ACKLEY line. Thank you so much for the responses on the other lines. It has added so much to my records! Sources for this line are Connecticut Nutmegger, Family Records, town records and a wonderful visit to East Haddam to the site of the original Ackley house. The house has been replaced three or four times but the foundation is original. It is in the hands of direct descendants as it always has been. A question - Does anyone know what the origin of FORDHAM in Julia's name might have been?
