This photo was given to me by a descendent of Peter's daughter Caroline Teresa Acker Vinson, my ggrandmother. It has written on the back "Peter Acker." I am presuming it is of the Peter Acker born in 1799 and died in 1885 (17 days after his wife died). However, there were several Peter Ackers related to my ggrandmother. I have a treatise written by my great uncle Wade Vinson, one of Teresa Acker Vinson's sons. His description of Peter fits this picture:

"He was a great fellow with me. He was not a very large man--about five feet and seven inches tall, slightly bowleged. His hair and beard were perfectly white. He never shaved, he thaught is was a sin to sheve. He was very kind and pleasing in his manners. He always talked pleasing to me and made me feel like I was sombody. I loved to go with him to the orchard and pick up windshaken apples and peaches for the hogs. I loved to step in his tracks as we strolled through the orchard.
He always sat in a strait chair. I do not remember to have seen him sitting in a rocker. He walked with a stick--one of his own make. He was regular in all his habits and was very pious in his every day life. I was always glad when my father sent me to do little chores for him, such as plowing the garden, breaking up the turnip patch, and to chop fire wood and to split pine and carry it into the hall , during a cold spell, so he would not have to be out in the cold. My father was always thaughtful of grandpa's condition, and he was never too buisy to send some one to look after the old folks in bad weather, and many time went himself."
