I have accumulated some data on Hacketts in Georgia
since I live there and was interested in the surname.
I had noted the marriage of Whitaker and Ellen as
Feb 6, 1859, in Franklyn Co.
Is your info from a CW pension file and/or?
What censuses have you checked? Where did Whitaker
say his father was born in each census?
My very unorganized searches identified two major
Hackett families in Franklin Co early in the 19th c., those of
Robert and Druscilla Hackett and those of William? and Mary
(Polly) Covington Hackett. They were from SC.
Robert had a son William T Hackett who married Sarah J
Groves. He was born about 1814 and could possibly be the
father of your Whitaker. WmT was in Franklin through 1840 and in Habersham
county in 1850-1880 if you want to take a look. He is a touch young.

Did you see the other Hackett GA query on the Hackett
bulletin board that is gatewayed to this list?

Message text written by INTERNET:
>My Hackett line in Georgia is through Whitaker Thomas Hackett (1834-1920)
who
moved to Newton County, Georgia from Franklin County, GA around 1880. He
was
married to Eliza Ann Crenshaw. They had six children: William Thomas, John
Freeman, Nancy Catherine, Margaret Jane, Mary Emmer, and Columbus Henry.

Whitaker Hackett fought in the Civil War, and was discharged from the
Confederate army in 1863. He served in Company D of the Hampton, South
Carolina
Legion.

Whitaker T. Hackett helped to establish Lovejoy Methodist Church in the
Leguinn District of Newton County. He was one of this church's first
trustees in 1889.

Whitaker Hackett died in February, 1920 and is buried alongside his wife,
Elisa Ann, at Grant's Shop cemetery near the intersection of Hwy 36 and
Hwy 212 in Newton County, Georgia.

I hope somone out there on the list can add to what I have on this line.
