attn: 1745 Christopher Acklin of VA researchers
I have a proposal I want to set forth to you as to our Christopher's father.I was reading a book written by Lewis Preston Summers."The History of Southwest Virginia 1746-1786"On page 66 there is a list of Rangers led by a Capt. Wm. Preston which includes two names that are of great interest to us: Christopher Ackland and John Vance.Christopher Acklin was born circa 1745 in, I believe it has been established, Frederick Co., VA.The date of the organization of these Rangers under Capt. Preston was circa 1755-July 1756, Washington Co., VA, thus it would not be probable that our 1745 Christopher would have been of age to be such a Ranger.Is it possible that I may have stumbled on the father of our Christopher?There are a great many stories about the sons of a a Master Jo. Acklin of the "Paul" of London, some researchers believed it possible that Christopher 1745 was one of them.There seemed to be a gap of a generation, due to the age this Jo. would have been at Christopher's birth.Could this Christopher Ackland, Ranger, be the inbetween generation ?I would really really like some imput from all of you on my proposal, PLEASE. I have not finished this book in it's entirety (sp?) and I hope there may be more information in it.Summers also wrote "The Annals of Soutwest Virginia," if any of you are interested, which contains many tidbits of information on Christopher, Christian and Joseph Acklin, and information on some of the Black's and Colville's.You can find these books in their entirety on Heritage Quest, publications.
TIA, r. unrein
