Edward Ackerman was born in 1763. He married Miriam Garrison on Dec 3, 1788. He emigrated with many other Loyalists to Canada in the early 1800s and settled on lot 22 in South Marysburgh, south of Black River.

A grandson of Edward's had been a Lieutenant in the 16th Battalion during the Fenian Raids. As a reward, he was granted a piece of land in 1903. He died, however before he was able to settle on the property. His eight sons and daughters all married in South Marysburgh, and only one, Sarah A., moved out of Marysburgh and went to Rochester, N.Y. Most of their descendants remained in Prince Edward County.
