"Two brothers named Acker came over from Germany in 1732, one of whom, Conrad, located in Montgomery County, from whom those of this name in Chester County are descended.
Conrad married Barbara Rubble, from which union Peter was born. Peter Acker married Elizabeth Laugbaugh, and by her had but one child, Conrad, the subject of this sketch. Peter subsequently married Elizabeth Beagle, by whom he had nine children. Conrad, son of Peter and Elizabeth (Laugbaugh) Acker, was born in Uwchian township, Dec. 24, 1802. He was raised on the farm and attended the public subscription schools. He was married Jan. 17, 1828, to Leah Keeley, daughter of Conrad and Margaret Keeley. From this marriage were born eight children: John; William (deceased); Margaret, married to Frank Keyser; Elizabeth, married to Charles H Duckett; Joseph (killed in the Rebellion); Amelia; Ella; and Amanda. In the spring of 1828 he moved to Tredyffrin township, and bought of his father a farm, on which he remained until 1850, when he came to his present farm, where he has since resided. When he bought it the land was covered with woods which he cleared off, and on this farm of one hundred and seventeen acres he erected all the buildings and has made many valuable improvements. He has served seven years as school director and frequently in other local positions. He belongs, with his family, to the Presbyterian Church. He is identified with the Republican party, and was a staunch supporter of the government during the Rebellion.
His farm is pleasantly located in the beautiful Chester Valley, and his home betokens happiness and comfort, as his homestead does thrift and prosperity. His son Joseph Acker, was mustered into the United States service Sept. 11, 1861, for three years in Company C, Ninety-seventh Pennsylvania Regiment; was appointed fourth sergeant Sept. 18, 1861; promoted to third sergeant April 30, 1862; promoted to second sergeant July 1, 1863; and was killed while advancing with skirmish line at Foster's Place, Bermuda Hundred, May 18, 1864. He was one of the best and bravest soldiers of this noble regiment, commanded by Col. Henry R. Guss.
