Mr. Akers, pastor of the Second Baptist church, and was witnessed by the upper tendom in social circles.

Piping Hill
I've only once come across any reference to this place. It was apparently in Washington Township (Burlington County); years ago (ca.1996), I was looking at a poll book in the research library at Batsto, and came across a page for Piping Hill. In 1892, the following residents of the township listed their residence as Piping Hill: Arthur Miller Johnathan Ford George W. Ford Watson Ford In 1894, only George Ford listed Piping Hill as his residence. I still have no idea where in the township this actually was (or is).
