'Ailcy' Coombs married Ezra Ackley on 12 July 1821 in Licking County, Ohio. Ezra, his wife Elsie and their two young daughters were part of the first group of families to settle in what became Newark, Kendall County, Illinois. They arrived on the 18th day of April 1831. In the summer of 1832, the Ackley family fled to an area around the Wabash River. They remained there until peace was restored. The Ackley family returned to his claim in August 1833.
Ezra Ackley died on 30 May 1840 in Kendall County, Illinois. There is a marriage record in Kendall County showing that a Elsy Ackley married a Joseph Smith on 14 August 1842.
