This is really my only Hackett. I'm really just trying a different approach
to finding out more about these Cooks, but there is another Cook/Hackett
connection:

Descendants of Judah Hackett

1 Judah Hackett
.+Sarah Elkins
........2 Susan Hackettb: 1789 in Epping, Rockingham, NH [?]
............+Issachar Cookb: February 1784 in Wakefield, Carroll, NH**

Issachar is the ancestor of Bill Watts. I think he has the Hackett
ancestry, but it doesn't include Dorothea.

You could contact him if you'd like:

I also received the following helpful information this morning.
