Ammi Ruhamah (which symbolically means "my people have obtained mercy") Faulkner was born on March 20, 1693, in Andover to Francis Faulkner and Abigail (Dane) Faulkner. He was married to Hannah Ingalls on June 7, 1726.
He moved from Andover to Acton, Mass., (now South Acton) and purchased, in 1733, the place still (1937) in the Faulkner family. The house was originally the Garrison House, built as a refuge for the settlers in times of Indian raids but there is no record that it was ever used for that purpose. He built the mills which, for over two centuries, have been known as the Faulkner Mills. His wife, Hannah, was the daughter of James and Hannah Abbott Ingalls. Both are buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Acton.
He settled right into Acton's town affairs after moving there in 1738. In May of 1738, he was chosen to the committee to settle Acton's first minister, Rev. John Swift, and to arrange his salary. Sixteen years later, when Parson Swift's salary had to be reassessed because of fluctuating prices, he was also on the committee to settle that. Although he entered into town affairs only as a selectman for two years, he helped Acton's early growth by operating the mills at Acton's commercial center - Mill corner is what S. Acton was then called. Shortly after he purchased the place, he added a grist mill to the already existing fulling and sawmills.

Ammi Ruhamah Faulkner's mother was convicted and sentenced to death, but her execution was delayed due to pregnancy. Before she gave birth, to Ammi, Faulkner was pardoned by the governor and released from prison.
Abigail (Dane) Faulkner was pregnant when brought to trial, and for this reason, her execution was delayed.
Faulkner petitioned the court for eleven years before they finally granted her request, reversing the bill of attainder in 1711.
