ACKERT, who was said to have been born in Chatham or Austerlitz, Columbia Co., NY in either 1817 or c. 1828. Her parents names were given on her death certificate as John and Sarah ACKERT. Is anyone familiar with this family? Mary wed James ASCHA (also spelled ASKEY) of White Creek, NY (before 1845) and they moved to Bennington, Vermont; they had three children and were divorced. Then Mary wed Ward N. STONE of Worthington, Massachusetts (before 1858), and they settled in Peru, Mass. and had three sons. Mary died in Peru 10 November 1881. Thanks for any help.
