 p280.  Christopher Acklin appears on list of persons who are reputed to have been at Kings Mt.  but for which no documentary proof had been located.  Moss does not say precisely where Acklin is said to have been at Kings Mt., only that he does not find any official documentation to support the claim.  Some of the sources Moss included in "reputed by", include DAR and presumably SAR records.  SAR records are cited by some as the basis for this claim.
