- Nathaniel Amacker Record
Mrs. J.P. Morris, Jr. of Kentwood, Louisiana, copied this record from a paper found with the 1859 Bible of Abby Kent Amacker, copied elsewhere in the possession of Mrs. Maud Amacker Arnett of Kentwood. She gives these notes regarding them.
"Among the colonists from Switzerland who settled Orangeburg, South Carolina in 1735 were the ancestors of the groups of Amackers of the deep South. First to Southwest Mississippi with his family in 1809 came John Jacob Amacker. He came across the state line into Louisiana and built a home in the then St. Helena Parish on the east bank of Beaver Creek in 1813. The children of the family were seven boys and two girls. Four sons and one daughter married and lived near the original homestead. The seventh child, James Albert Amacker married Lydia Tate and settled in Poplarville, Mississippi. The sixth child, Nathaniel Amacker settled near the old family home. His family records were copied from his Bible by Edgar A. Bassett of Los Angeles, California. He was the husband of Nathaniel Amacker's granddaughter, Eva Kent Bassett."
The records copied were on three sheets of paper, with his stamp on them, and this note on the back of the three folded sheets: "Family records, Nathaniel Amacker, born 1811, Father, John Amacker, Mother, Sarah Varnado Amacker."
