I'm working of the Acker family history. My primary line Phillip Jacob Acker and his brother entered Philadelphia on the 25th of Sept 1732 aboard the Loyal Judith (Robt Turpin, Master). They were late of Sparsbach(sp)(near Strassbourg) Germany, (France) Alsace Lorrane. Heinrich father of about 13 children went to Bucks Co. (Harleysville area) farming near Hilltown. He was one of the listed founders of Kellers Church (1752). I have information on some his decendents but have not worked hard at it. > Phillip was the father of abt 11 setteled in Northampton (now Lehigh) > Co. near Foglesville. He was one of the founding fathers of Ziegel Ch > outside of Foglesville. Later he moved to Macungie twp searching for better water for farming. I have a bit more information of Phillip and his prodgeny (Ziegel Ch records were great) and I worked harder on this > line, although there are many holes. Another Acker, Conrad setteled in > Chester County, I have no direct connection between Conrad and > Phillip/Heinrich. Conrads decendents later settled in Lancaster Co. > Phillips moved west (northern tier of PA and to Ohio) South thru York Co to VA, NC and SW, and North to NY and Canada (although I have not traced a direct line north) The core of the family stayed in the Lehigh, Northampton, Berks Co areas. Needless to say I have records lots of records. (And over 4,000 individuals) > > If you think we can work together I'd like to see if we can help one > another. > > Earl Acker, Landisville, Lancaster Co.
