Alfred H Acker

Joseph and son Alfred Acker In The Heritage of Tuscaloosa County, published in 1999 by Heritage Consultants, Inc., there is a section under Family Histories entitled: Joseph Acker and his son Alfred. In that section, Joseph Acker is described as son of Peter Acker, Sr. and Jane Sutherland; Alfred Acker is described as his eldest son, eventually marrying Rachel Herring. The author goes on to describe the children of Alfred and Rachel, including Winder Hillman Acker. The author also cites a variety of evidence for the above, including land patents for both Joseph and Alfred and court records attendant upon Alfred’s death, leaving Winder Hillman ‘orphaned.’

Alabama Soldiers, compiled by Pauline Jones Gandrud and published by Arkansas Research, Inc. confirms much of the above information including Joseph Acker’s lineage and death, and his having a son, Alfred Acker.

War of 1812 Veterans in Texas, by Mary Smith Fay, likewise confirms Joseph Acker’s service in the War of 1812 as well as his parentage and Alfred as one of his children.

We also have a typed copy of information from a family Bible, said to be Joseph and Rachel’s, confirming the dates of birth for both Joseph and Alfred Acker and, of course, the fact that Alfred was Joseph’s son.
