William Hackney was born 1794 in Virginia and died before 1846, in either Logan Co., IL or Iowa. On 1815 Nov 24 in Pike Co., Ohio he married Sarah Shannon. <\/p>\n

I’ve yet to locate William’s parents but I’ve located Sarah’s, which I will write of in another post. They were Patrick Shannon and Elizabeth Shepherd<\/a>.<\/p>\n

William and Sarah had 9 children:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Thomas S. b. 1814-1819 in Ohio<\/li>\n
  2. Jacob Tivis b. 1816 Sep 20 in Pike Co., OH, died 1897 in Winfield, Cowley, Kansas. About 1839 in Logan Co., Illinois he married Lucy Chapman who was born about 1816 in Ohio to James Chapman. He married 2nd a woman named Mary in Logan County, Illinois. Jacob Tivis moved to Winfield, Cowley, Kansas. His son, William Patrick Hackney, was a state senator. I’ll cover this family in another post.<\/li>\n
  3. William S.<\/a> b. 1830 March 17 in Ohio, died 1891 June 2 in Chautauqua Co. KS, married 1842 Dec 29, Mary Jane Enlow b. 1824 Nov 15 in Ohio, died 1895 Jan 2 in Chautauqua Co., Kansas. Direct line. This family moved from Van Buren to Chautauqua County, Kansas, then to Washington County, Kansas, and perhaps eventually back to Chautauqua County as William and Mary were buried there. I cover this family in another post.<\/li>\n
  4. Joseph S. b. abt. 1822 in Ohio, died 1880 July 30 in Washington, Washington, Kansas, married 1846 March 23 in Wapello, Iowa to Catherine Strickland. This family also moved to Washington County, Kansas.<\/li>\n
  5. Jesse L. b. abt. 1822, died probably before 1870, married 1847 Aug 5 in Wapello, Iowa to Emily Smith. I’ve failed to located him in the 1850 census but perhaps find him in Portland later, serving out of there during the Civil War. I’m not confident yet it is our Jesse L. but I do know his wife remarried to Nathaniel P. Cory before 1870 and later to a Clark, leading me to believe he had died. I’ll cover this family in another post.<\/li>\n
  6. Margaret Ellen b. abt. 1824 in Ohio, died 1863 in Wapello, Iowa, married 1845 Nov 27 in Wapello to Paris Caldwell b. abt. 1816 in Virginia, died 1899 in Wapello. I will cover this family in another post.<\/li>\n
  7. Elizabeth Sarah b. abt. 1826 married David Johnson before 1846. I’ve yet to locate her after 1840.<\/li>\n
  8. Isabel Frances “Fanny” b. abt. 1828 in Ohio married 1st Charles Nelson 1844 Dec 5 in Wapello, then married 2nd William W. Baker on 1849 March 4 in Wapello. I will cover this family in another post.<\/li>\n
  9. Theodore Patrick “Dose” b. 1833 July 25, died 1899 Nov 6 in Whitehall, Greene, Illinois, married 1856 Sep 9 in Van Buren, Iowa to Elizabeth Day. She died 1864 March 17 in Whitehall, Greene, Illinois and Theodore next married Mrs. M. Cary (Caroline) Lawrence. Theodore and Elizabeth are buried at the Whitehall Cemetery in Whitehall, Greene County, Illinois.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Son, Jacob Tivis’ bio gives him as born in Pike Co. OH, moving to IN in 1825 and then to IL in 1828. Land records and census shows the HACKNEYs instead in OH in 1824 (land record) and 1830 (census) and in IL in 1840 (census). The children give their birthplaces as OH, though in the 1850 OR census an individual who may be William S. HACKNEY gives a birthplace of IN. <\/p>\n

    “Jacob T. Hackney, born in Pike Co., Ohio, Sept. 20, 1816; went to Indiana in 1825, to Illinois in 1828, and came to this county often during the last five years, but came to stay in March, 1880.”

    Land records connect William Hackney with Delaware Co. Ohio in 1824 and 1825.<\/p>\n

    Hancock County was created in 1820 and Organized in 1828. It was formed from portions of Delaware and Logan Counties. In 1845, a portion of Wyandot County was formed from Hancock.<\/p>\n

    Perhaps about 1826 the family migrated to Amanda, Hancock, Ohio. In April of 1826, WIlliam Hackney was elected a justice of FIndlay Township.<\/p>\n

    1828 finds them in Crawford, Wyandot, Ohio.<\/p>\n

    The first settlers of Crawford Township were not blind to the necessities of education, and, as early as 1828, erected a schoolhouse on what is now the southeast quarter of Section 26. Among the first teachers were William Hackney and Adeline Potterfield.

    William HACKNEY was “auditor” in Hancock Co. Ohio from October 1828 to March 1831. He was followed by Thomas F. Johnston in March 1831, who resigned, then a Joseph C. SHANNON who was appointed to fill the vacancy in June, 1832, and served until his death in May 1836.<\/p>\n

    William was a schoolteacher at Logan. Reference is made to William Hackney in the book HISTORY OF LOGAN COUNTY, ILLINOIS, published by Interstate Publishing, Chicago, 1896 and reproduced by Unigraphic, Inc. 1973.<\/p>\n

    At a meeting of the Old Settlers’ Association on September 23, 1875, James RANDOLPH, speaking after Jacob Tivis HACKNEY, reminisced about “Brush College”, where William HACKNEY was the first teacher: “It was a most primitive structure, not a particle of iron or glass or sawed lumber was used in its construction; it was built of logs with the cracks daubed with mud; the roof was of clapboards kept in place by weight poles, which were pinned fast to the wall; the door was of clapboards and had wooden hinges and a wooden lock with a buckskin latch-string hanging out….The desks were of hewed puncheons driven in to the wall under the windows…We sat with our backs to the teacher so as to face the light and the desks….the chimney was made of sticks and mud. … In cold weather a large fire was kept up, built against a huge back-log, to put which in place required the strength of the master and several of the larger boys.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    William likely died before 1846 as his wife Sarah is enumerated in the 1846 Wapello County, Iowa census with Jacob T., “Joseph L.” and William S.<\/p>\n

    I have yet to find Sarah Hackney in the 1850 census.<\/p>\n

    1856 shows her in Van Buren living with her granddaughter, Helen, from daughter Isabel Frances Hackney’s first marriage to Charles Nelson. Grandson Charles W. Nelson is in the Edward Enlow household in Union, Van Buren with Mary Jane Enlow Hackney, whose husband William S. Hackney is in Portland Oregon with his brother-in-law William W. Baker. The 1850 census shows Isabel in the Wapello County, Iowa census in the household of her sister and brother-in-law Paris Caldwell, but in 1849 on March 4 she married William W. Baker in Wapello. The Stonebraker shown here would be a relative of Laura J. Stonebraker who marries William Henry Enlow in 1856 in Van Buren.<\/p>\n
