Information of children from 1880,1900 & 1910 Butteville, Marion Co., OR census. Truman and Mary were the parent of 11 children, 10 of which were still living as of the 1910 census.
"Ever since coming to his present farm in Clackamas county, in 1888, Mr. Ackerson has devoted himself to its cultivation and improvement. The one hundred and fifteen acres which he bought had been partly improved, and his has been the task of cleaning and cultivating the remainder. The land is devoted to general farm products, in addition to which he has five acres in hops, and a host drier and storage house where the hops are kept until sent to the market. The buildings on the place are substantial, but it is Mr. Ackerson's intention to replace the present small house with one more commodious and more adapted to the needs of his family.
Mr. Ackerson was born in Peoria, Ill, April 11, 1848, a son of Garret and Anne (Cody) Ackerson, natives respectively of Ohio and Michigan. The paternal grandfather, Thomas Ackerson a native of Pennsylvania became a farmer in Ohio from which state he removed to Illinois, later going to Wisconsin, but finally returning to Illinois where he died at the age of ninety-eight years in the city of Peoria. The maternal grandfather Darius Cody was of eastern birth, and engaged in farming successfully in Ohio, Illinois, and Wisconsin but finally went to Nebraska and there died at seventy-five years of age. During his early life Garret Ackerson was a farmer in Illinois, but when his son Truman C was five years of age he removed to Wisconsin and eleven years later established the family home in Nebraska, settling on a farm in Johnson county, ten miles west of Tecumseh. There he died in the fall of 1901 when eight-six years of age. The farm which he cultivated comprised two hundred acres and under his oversight was brought to a high degree of cultivation
In a family of five sons and two daughters Truman C Ackerson was next to the oldest and his education was received mainly in Wisconsin, but was very limited owing to the fact that he had to be self-supporting from an early age. When he was twenty-one he took up a homestead claim of one hundred and sixty acres, and there began independent farming. The place was proved up on and continued to be his home for fourteen years. When he disposed of the property, in 1876 he came to Oregon and settled at Oswego where he was employed as a laborer for three years. During 1879 he removed to French Prairie in Marion county, where he rented a farm of two hundred acres. Two years later he removed to another farm, still continuing as a renter and in addition he operated a hop yard for seven years. The savings of these years were carefully hoarded and enabled him, in 1888, to purchase the home which he now enjoys. Since coming to this locality he has acted as a school director, and in previous years had filled a similar position in another part of Oregon. In politics he votes with the Republicans. He is an active member of the Congregational Church and has officiated as a member of the board of deacons. During his residence in Nebraska he married Mary Ann Linford, who was born near Terre Haute, Ind. She is a daughter of George Linford a native of England who accompanied his parents to the United States and settled on a farm near Terre Haute, Ind. From there he moved to Nebraska and settled near Tecumseh, which continued to be his home up to the time of his death during the spring of 1903. In the family of Mr. Ackerson there are five sons and five daughters, namely Hattie who is the wife of Adolph Myers, Mrs. Alice Cone, Emma wife of Joseph Burhart, George who is living near Dayton, Wash, Ralph also in Washington, David, May and Mabel (twins), Charles and Garrett, all of whom are on the home farm in Clackamas county.”
