"The names of John and William Ackers, and that of their father, appeared on the petition for the separation of Muddy River from Boston in 1704. In 1744 the Ackers built a fine large house on the corner of Brighton and Boylston Streets, which was quite imposing for a farm-house in those days. In the Revolutionary times it was occupied as barracks for the colonial troops, but the family did not leave it, as many families left their houses but divided with the soldiers and bore the inconvenience.

"Mr. William Ackers died in 1794, at a good old age. His son William, the third of the name, married the adopted daughter of Mr William Hyslop.

"Mr. Hyslop gave her a great wedding, which was a grand event in the town for those times, and was not only a theme for tea-table chat, but was remembered, talked of, and written about, long after. The sons of this marriage were outlived by their father, who died in 1841, the last male member of this ancient family." H. F. W., p. 311.
