Hi Nancy
Akermans arent really in my family. I purchased the book years ago when I first started researching my own genealogy at a yard sale. I saw the list of surnames in the book and wrote a message under each surname in the forum thinking I might be able to help someone out.
I have found a little info that might help you on your Peter.
He married first, as you stated, Rachel Foss on November 28, 1779 and then he married widow Charity (Marden) Locke, sister of his first wife. He had four children by his first wife:
Peter, born 1780 bapt. Aug 1782 at Epsom, New Hampshire
Joseph,born 1781 bapt. Aug 1782 at Epsom, New Hampshire
Phineas, bapt. June 22, 1783 at Epsom, New Hampshire
John, bapt, Nov 28, 1785 at Epsom, New Hampshire
Rachel,born 1786; baptized 12 Feb 1787 at Epsom, NewHampshire
Jonathan......
And one child from his second wife:
Benjamin M., no birth date
Peter was apprenticed to Jonathan Locke(MY 5th great grandfather) of Rye, NH at Rye, New Hampshire. He began military service circa 1775; served in the Rev. War. Crippled in Ticonderoga.Served in Capt. Jonathan Wentworth's company. Col. Poor's Reg. Later part of General Thomas command in campaign to Quebec Can. relief who died of small pox. General John Sullivan took command. Later re-enlisted at Portsmouth N.H. with Capt. Beal's Co., under Col. Alexender Scannel's Reg. under General St. Clair under General Poor at battle of Saratoga and wounded in arm 19 Sept. 1777.Was shot through the elbow with a musket ball that came out his shoulder. In hospital at Albany till Nov 23rd 1790. He was on 19 Sep 1777 at Battle of Saratoga, New York; wounded.1He appeared on the census of 1790; 4 males under 16, 1 female.1 He was was in the hospital until this date on 23 Nov 1790 at Hospital, Albany, New York.
I do have more info on his children and their spouses if you like.
Hope this is of some help.
