From Baptismal Records, Lutheran Church, New Hanover, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania:
Acker, Christian b: Sept. 23, 1772; bap: May 2, 1773; parents: Christian and Elisabeth. [sponsors apparently Johannes Fuchs and Margaretha]
Early censuses, 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840, show that Christian changed from an older wife to a younger wife between 1820 and 1830. Evidently, Anna, who died in 1826 and is buried here right next to Christian is that older wife, and the mother of his children.
Unfortunately, I once uploaded on-line a genealogy showing Christian's 2nd wife, Elizabeth (Betsy), as the mother of his children, and that misinformation has spread to many other genealogies...
Marriage years are estimates.
