"One of the earliest families in the country was that of Peter Acker. The founder in America was William Acker, who came from Germany about 1750, having started with three sons, one of whom was lost overboard on the voyage. The two left were William Jr., and Peter . They settled in Hunterdon County New Jersey, not a great distance from Philadelphia."
