Beverly Dandridge Acree was born about 1795 in Hanover County Virginia, the son of William Acree. About 1797 or 1798, William Acree moved his family to Spartanburg District South Carolina, where he lived until about 1813. In addition to Dandridge, William had son Burton Acree, born about 1794, and daughter Margaret (Peggy).
About 1815, William Acree and his children moved west and settled in Rutherford County Tennessee, where in 1817 Dandridge married Susannah Margaret Bowman, the daughter of Daniel and Susannah M.

Dandridge bought 80 acres of land in Ouachita Parish Louisiana on 21 April 1836 and an adjoining 80 acres on 19 January 1837. His farm was located in the portion of Ouachita that became Union Parish in 1839, near the present-day community known as Point.
Beverly Dandridge Acree was elected to the Union Parish Police Jury from Ward 1 in the spring of 1841, and he served until his death. At that time, the Police Jury usually met four times per year. Dandridge was absent from only one session of the Police Jury during his period of service. As he lived 20 miles from the town of Farmerville, serving on the police jury was a serious commitment, as most sessions lasted several days (the distance is shorter today due to improved roads).
James M. Turner was also listed frequently in the police jury records. He married Dandridge's daughter Mary Jane Acree in 1845, shortly after Dandridge's death. James M.
