James Ackley, 1677-1746: Chapter Draft Available for Download

Discovering Nicholas Ackley was just the beginning of my journey through the Ackley family history in my ancestry. I had intended to spend less time on the others in the distant past, but curiosity has a way of taking over.

As it became obvious that it will take several months to complete the next book, I decided to release each draft chapter as it is completed, at least through the 1700s. This allows those who are interested early access and may have the added benefit of encouraging readers to contact me with any information I may not have found.

Generation 2 is Nicholas’s son James and his wife Elizabeth. Discovering James Ackley is available by clicking here.
