Christian and Margaret were married in Wayne County, Indiana on February 3, 1842. According to one account - "The Ackers settled in the northern part of Stony Creek Township in 1842.

From a local newspaper item - ... good old Chris [Acker], who settled on the county line when this part was in the wild woods, and made him a nice farm, built him a house of which I will not give a description, but its length and breadth covers nine acres. Chris is a common appearing man, intelligent, peaceable, ever ready to help the needy, poor, and distressed.
