"A motion of Joel Hacker-- he is the court appointed administrator ofthe estate of Joseph Hacker who died at his residence in Roane Countyon the 6th day of February 1859 Whereupon the said Hacker enteredinto bond with Security in the words and figures to wit...."6th day of June 1859

Roane County 1860, Joel Hacker & Others vs. Julius Hacker & OthersExtracted and contributed by Alexis Hacker Scholz (ascholz@rei.com),descendant of Joseph Hacker.

This lawsuit, brought by JOEL HACKER and his sisters MARGARET HACKERand ELIZABETH HACKER, essentially petitioned the court to sell theproperty left by JOSEPH HACKER when he died in testate in 1859 anddistribute the proceeds to the heirs. Joel and his sisters contend inpapers that the property ?owing
to the small number of of [sic] acres and the large number of heirssaid land is not susceptible of satisfactory division and that todivide the said land into so many shares would greatly lessen thevalue of the whole tract but that it would manifestly be to theadvantage of all persons concerned to have a
sale of the land and a distribution of the proceeds?.?
?State of Tennessee To the County Court of Roane County at KingstonSitting"

Joel Hacker, Margaret Hacker & Elizabeth Hacker residents of theCounty of Roane and State aforesaid bring this their petition againstJulius Hacker who is a citizen of the State of Missouri and thechildren of John Hacker deceased who are minors and residents of thestate of Missouri and whose names and ages are to your petitionersunknown and who have no known regular guardian also against JoelHacker Julius Hacker William Hacker George Hacker who are minorchildren and heirs at law of George Hacker deceased and WilliamHolloway their guardian who are residents of the County of Grainger
and State of Tennefsee, and thereupon your petitions would show to thecourt that they and defendants with the exception of William Hollowayguardian of the minor children of George Hacker deceased are theheirs at law of Joseph Hacker deceased who died seized and professedof a certain tract of land lying
in Roane County?and containing about one hundred acres.? And shouldthere be any lingering questions about whether or not Margaret andElizabeth were daughters, this appears in another document, 25th Dayof October 1861:

?To Margaret Hacker, Elizabeth Hacker children and heirs at law ofJoseph Hacker decd??
In a somewhat tardy court appearance, Joseph Hacker and Julius Hacker,children of George arrive on 23 May 1863 and attest to being ?two ofthe children of and heirs at law of George Hacker deceased who was aSon of Joseph Hacker late of Roane County Tennefsee, say that theirFather departed this life something near twenty years ago inGraineger County Tennefsee leaving them the same Joseph, Julius andWilliam Hacker and George Hacker his children and heirs at law?? hefather, George, was the George Hacker of Grainger County who marriedRebecca Hollingsworth. here are at least two candidates for the?Julius Hacker of Missouri,? and research is underway to determine theidentify of this Julius and the deceased
John, also of Missouri.
