Warren Ackley was born 18 August 1783 in East Haddam, Middlesex CT as son of Captain Ephraim and Hannah Ackley. [15] [14]

He moved to Milford NY about 1800. [6]

He married Demarius Tubbs on 28 February 1805. [11]

The first settler on the hill west of Colliers was John Shaw about 1808. Soon after Peter Scott and Warren Ackley settled on wilderness farms on the hill and commenced new country farming." "The place was then called "Shaw Hill". The land on this hill was good soil, and well timbered, but rather stoney. In consequence of the stone, Lemuel Ackley gave it a new name. He called it "Stone Arabia" and it has always retained the same name. " "Warren Ackley reared a family of five sons and daughters. His oldest son Mitchel married Eliza Quackenbush. His son Willis was a hop merchant. His third son Lemuel married Lydia Gurney who had several children. One of his sons Charles is the principal undertaker of the town of Laurens." [19] My note- This has caused some confusion in the family tree. The vague use of his in two cases could cause misinterpretation of who the parents of Charles and Willis are. Charles was the son of Lemuel and Willis was the son of Mitchel. All of Warren's five sons and five daughters are accounted for without Willis.
