Johan George Hacker

Kris Hocker on 21 Mar 2009

George3 Hacker (Johan Adam2, Christoph1)  was the fifth son of Johan Adam and Maria Elisabetha (Weidman) Hacker. He was born 9 October 1766 and christened 12 October 1766 in the Emanuel Lutheran Church in Brickerville, sponsored by Lorenz Haushalter and wife (his uncle and aunt).1 He died 12 September 1846 and was buried in the cemetery at Emanuel Lutheran Church.2

George married Christina Miller, daughter of Christopher Miller and Maria Barbara Stober of Cocalico township, Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, sometime before 15 May 1803 when they received communion together at Emanuel Lutheran Church.3 Christina was born on 1 January 1778 and was christened at Emanuel Lutheran.4 Her grandparents Valentin and Eva Elisabetha Stober sponsored her. She died 29 October 1858 and was buried in the Emanuel Lutheran Church cemetery with her husband.5

Cocalico township, Lancaster county tax records show a George Hacker in 1791, his status “freeman.”6 I’m assuming that this is Johan Adam’s son George as Adam’s brother Johan George had moved his family to Erdenheim (outside Philadelphia) in 1763 and his brother Frederick’s son George  was an infant. He is listed in 1796—1799 tax records together with Frederick. In 1800, he’s listed separately, but in 1801—1803 they are listed together again. In 1805, George is listed as having 10 acres valued at $600, having 1 saw or grist mill. George, the miller, is also listed in 1806, 1807, and 1808. There my Cocalico township tax records for George Hacker end.

George and Christina (Miller) Hacker had five children baptized at Emanuel Lutheran Church between 1803 and 1813: Jacob, Elizabeth, Elizabeth (a second child), Peter, and Margaret Rebecca.7 They also served as sponsors for children of both the Hacker and Miller families: Johannes, son of GeorgeHacker and Elisabeth; Jonas, son of Leonhard Miller and Eva; Catarina, daughter of George Miller and wife; and Lea, daughter of George Scherb and wife Susanna [Haushalter].

Census records don’t show George as head of household until 1810 when he is listed in Cocalico township.8 In 1815, Christina’s father died. In his last will & testament he left George “one hundred and twenty six pounds eight shillings and four pence which shall be paid out of the bond which I have of my son George Miller which shall be in full for his wifes portion out of my estate together with the bond which I have assigned over to him and together with which I have charged him in my Book.”9

On 21 July 1816, George and Christina had a child, Joseph, baptized in Shaefferstown at St. Luke’s church.10 They also sponsored baptisms at Shaefferstown for Christoph and Anna (Wolf) Miller’s sons Samuel in 1815 and David in 1817.11 On 14 February 1817 George purchased land in Lebanon county with his brother-in-law Christopher Miller from John Strohm.12 In Nov 1817, George sponsored another child’s baptism at Salem Lutheran church in Lebanon.13

George and Christina Hacker are listed in communion records at St. Luke’s Lutheran church in Shaefferstown in 1815, 1816, and 1820.14 He is in census records in Lebanon township in 1820, living alongside Christopher Miller, his brother-in-law.15 I have been unable to find him in either the 1830 or 1840 census records. Christopher Miller, however, was back in Lancaster county, in Elizabeth township in 1830 through 1850.

On 8 May 1823, George and Christina were sponsors for Cornelius, son of James and Eleonora Stellwell, at Salem Lutheran Church in Reamstown, Lancaster County.16 They received communion there on 6 November 1825 with their daughters Catharine and Elizabeth Hacker. On the same day, Peter, George and Lydia Hacker received confirmation.17 Of the three, I’ve only proven George and Christina’s relationship to Peter, their son.
