Biography

Benjamin Ackley was born about 1707^[1][2]probably at East Haddam,^[1][2] Middlesex, Connecticut. He was the son of John Ackley of Hartford and his wife Rebecca Spencer of Haddam.

On December 7, 1727 Benjamin received the gift of a deed from his father, John Ackley. The deed gave part of the home lot with the house, barn and orchards to Benjamin, reserving life use to John.^[1]Also deeded to Benjamin was twenty-four acres of his father's home lot.^[2] John mentions no wife, so probably she had died prior to 1727. This would indicate that John expected to live with Benjamin for the rest of his life.^[1][2]John says in the deed that the gift was given in consideration of "my love and tender respect which I do bare unto my son Benjamin Ackley."^[2]

In September, 1736, Benjamin joined with his brothers and sisters in the distribution of their father's estate.^[2]This distribution paper can be seen in full beginning on page 48 of the book, "Dawes-Gates Ancestral Lines," by Mary Dalton Ferris.

He was baptized as an adult and admitted into membership of the East Haddam Church on January 27, 1739.^[1][2] Took the Oath of Allegiance

Marriage

About 1732 he married Experience Crippen.^[1][2]She joined the East Haddam Church on October 7, 1739 and had her first three children baptized there three weeks later.^[1][2]
