I am searching for a family Bible showing the descendants of Deborah (Pettegrew) Ackley 1782-1843 who lived in Machiasport, Washington, Maine and married Amos A. Ackley. Did she give birth to a daughter born 1815 named Temperance, or was Temperance adopted or "taken in"?
.....I have found published SOURCES for Temperance: US Census's (1850, 1860, 1870), U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedule, & her marriage registration. I have searched for wills, etc. without any success. But I need to have a family Bible or PUBLISHED SOURCE that mentions her parents with her birth information. A family tree posted on a website such as Ancestry is, in many instances, copied from someone else. Someone's web-page with a family tree and a long numbered source list doesn't count unless the actual source is shown. Did Deborah (Pettegrew) Ackley give birth to Temperance in ~1815? Are you Deborah's descendant? I would appreciate your help!
Looking for descendants-Ackley family 1810-1818 Maine: Machias-Cutler-Whiting. Need Family Bible for Ackleys, Holmes, Pettegrew families for that period. Looking for a daughter Temperance Ackley born 1811-1818, possibly born 1815. Need her parents names. Please do not send me info from Ancestry. A Family Bible or Will is my only hope.

"Looking for the Ackley Family Bible that would be covering the Ackley families of Maine in the early 1800"
Have you tried American Ancestors/NEHGS? The collection of bibles and manuscripts is quite extensive.

Hey Jeanette are you still around? Jean
Hi Jeanette Do you already know your Berry tree? I am also a Berry descendant from Machias, ME. Have a Gardner in my line and a Fogg. Have you checked out the map of 1860 of the state of Maine? They even have who lived in each house. I found my Bagley's (John Adam Bagley married Lucy Berry (daughter of Westbrook Berry) on the map in Waite, ME. Did not expect to find that but thru many hours of checking each county (starting with Washington County) I got lucky
