Tobey, Barbara W. (1988) "The Ackerman Family, Volume II": 222 contains information on the family of Joseph Chandler Ackerman and his wife Sophia Belinda Van B[e]uren, including their daughter Caroline Netta Ackerman (born 1854). This family lived in Mobile (Alabama) which is consistent with what other references (for example) have stated about the family. This new view of his maternal ancestry takes a number of his ancestral lines back to days when New York was known as Nueva Amsterdam
