Howard,

I agree that Margaret Hackett was not the mother of George's children,
since according to her bio.in "History of Richland Co., 188)", she and
George married in 1840.

Her bio reads:
HACKETT, MARGARET, MRS., is the fourth child of George and Nancy
Hackett, who came to this county in 1815, and located in this township,
and resided here until their death; her father died in 1845, aged 68
years; her mother died in 1855 or 1856, aged 78 years. Mrs. Margaret
Hackett is the widow of the late George Hackett, who was born in
Juniata, Penn., Aug. 19, 1800; he departed this life Aug. 11,1876, aged
76 years. Mrs. Hackett was born Nov. 18, 1807, in Washington Co.,
Penn.; at the age of 8 years, her parents removed to this township, and
this has since been her home, having lived in the township for a period
of sixty-five years. She was married, June 11, 1840, to her late
husband, George Hackett, who always paid his attention to farming. Mrs.
Hackett has sold her place and is now living a retired life.

The bios of Henry P., James L.,William A., and Ira G. say they were born
in Cass Twp., Richland Co., and moved in 1839 to Blooming Grove Twp.
Maybe the first wife died, so he moved and then married Margaret.

Fascinating, trying to put all the little pieces together!
