Abel Ackley served in the French and Indian War in 1762 with his father Nicholas (1708-1763). He was at least 16 at the time, making his year of birth no later than 1746. After the death of his father, Abel and his younger sister Sarah (1749-?) left Colchester, CT for Sharon, CT where they had relatives. In Jan 1766, he married Hannah Shevalier whose French Huguenot family had immigrated from Jersey, Channel Islands. The Ackleys lived near Amenia, Dutchess County, NY where sons Arthur (1766-1848) and Solomon (1774-1861) were born (and possibly other children).
About 1775, Abel moved his family to the area where he lived until his death, White Creek, Washington County, NY. There, he served in the militia during the Revolutionary War probably at the time of the Battles of Saratoga in 1777. His son Lot West Ackley (1788-1854) was born in White Creek. Abel owned a small farm, which appears on the tax rolls in 1802 and 1803. Hannah died about 1799, before the 1800 census, where she does not appear. In about 1815, Abel married Mary (1767-1850), probably a widow. He died at the age of 89 on 12 March 1835 (estate finalized in 1838). Mary died in 1850 at age 83.
