Hacker Family 1880 --------------------------.------+tJ-I-I-3JL---- I mSTORY OF mE HACKER FAMILY 1880 BY WIUJAMHACKER 1810 - 1891 SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA, USA .n •• ..n • • _ ---------_.._-_ .... 2 PREFACE At the repeated request of many of my immediate relations, the following pages have been prepared in order to give a short sketch of the lives and characters of our ancestors, in which the line through which we have descended is traced as far back into remote ages as family tradition or history will justify. In the sketches, as given, of the first five generations, the male line through which we have descended has alone been considered. While other lines of the family name, were their lives and transactions sought out and placed upon record also, might show a more honorable and elevated character than that of our own, yet I have not attempted to in­ qUire how that may be, but simply confining the present effort to the tracing out of the line of our own immediate descent. What ;s found in the following pages in regard to the times prior to 1630 is taken mainly from family tradition; yet enough is found in the writings of other historians of those times to satisfy the mind that these family traditions are reliable. Subsequent to that period, his­ tory has generally been followed, family tradition being used to connect certain historical incidents, or fill up a space of time apparently left blank by other writers. It is here but proper that I should state that these sketches have not been prepared with a view of publication. The matter is of too local a nature for that. And if a perusal of the manuscript thus prepared will afford my children and relatives any satisfaction in learning of their descent, my whole object will be attained. William Hacker Shelbyville, Indiana January 14, 1880 ------~------------------------------ ) -------------------------~--------------------------------- 3 HISTORY OF THE HACKER FAMILY Chapter 1 The family name, HACKER, originated in the year 1521 , and under the following circumstances: Near the close of the Fifteenth Century, there was residing in the Kingdom of Saxony a family by the name of HECKARDT, a large landed proprietor, wealthy and of great influ­ ence in the government of that province. In 1498 there was born to this family their first child -a son- and to whom the parents gave the name of "Wilhelm". That child became the founder of our family name, and from him has descended all of the name that I have as yet ever met with. Of course, as will be seen, the true cause for which will be found in the following circumstances: The father of Wilhelm dying about 1519, brought the son into full possession of his fa­ ther's title and vast estate. And it will be remembered that this was about the time that Lu­ ther, the great reformer, of the Sixteenth Century, broke off from the Church of Rome, which, for the past ten centuries, had ruled the governments of the different nations of Europe with such terrible despotism, and keeping the masses of the people in such intel- ) lectual darkness and superstition. Frederick, the reigning Duke, or Elector of Saxony, as it was then called, smarting under this species of despotism, which was at that time being imposed upon his people by the Emperor MAXIMILIAN, under the dictates of the Pope, and wishing for a change, as is well known, early espoused the cause of Luther and became his protector in many a fierce contest in which the great reformer found himself engaged with the opponents of civil and religious liberty. Many of the influential citizens also took sides with the reforma­ tion and among those were the young "HECKARDT, Wilhelm" who, as before stated, had just come into possession of his father's title and estate. Family tradition informs us that he at once entered into the contest with all the ardor of his young Saxon blood. This soon brought upon him the condemnation of the church. Hot persecution was instituted against him, as well as others, by the Emissaries of the Pope, and from which not even the powerful influence of Frederick was able to rescue him. At the death of MAXIMILIAN, June 28, 1519, Charles /I of Spain, grand son of the de­ ceased emperor, succeeded him. Charles (known in history as Charles V of Germany), proved to be more bigoted and tyrannical than his predecessor, because perhaps he had more energy and greater endowments of mental capacity, and was, therefore, better able to carry out his tyrannical designs against the freedom of thought that was just at that -time~-as-jt-were;-burstjngiorth-a-startled-world:-He-;-therefore;-had-tathersammoned-to-----------­ appear before him at the city of Worms, April 17, 1521. At the conclusion of that council, under date of May 8,1521, he pronounced the condemnation of the Empire against him, which involved all his discij:lles, adherents and following in the same,--'c""o'-'-n'-"'d""e-'-'-m'-'-n'-"'a"'tj""'on'-".~ _ This fearful judgment caused young HECKARDT, under the advice of Frederick, to seek 4 an asylum in England, there, to await the charge of circumstances that would insure his safe return. This was, perhaps, what the Church party wanted, really. His fleeing to Eng­ land was taken as conclusive evidence against him. He was, therefore, without any form of trial, condemned as a heretic, his immense estates all seized, confiscated to the Church, disposed of and the proceeds at once sent on to Rome to aid in the erection of the great St. Peters which, at that time, the Pope had under way. When HECKARDT arrived in London shortly after the close of the Diet of Worms in 1521, Henry VIII was in close communion with the Church of Rome, and was defending her dogmas against the writings of LUTHER and the Reformation; consequently, perse­ cution under his Prime Minister, Cardinal WOLSEY, run high in England as well as on the Continent. Many of the dissenters, and especially among the more wealthy, were seized, thrown into prison, condemned, all their property confiscated and helped to re­ plenish the King's treasury, or sent on to Rome to aid in the work then going on under the direction of the Pope. Under these circumstances, HECKARDT, not yet knowing what course had been taken with his property in Saxony, and fearing that the Emissaries of the Church were still in pursuit of him, and as he had been well educated and could speak the English language fluently, he thought it best under the circumstances to anglicize his name and thus, if possible, mislead the agents of the Pope should they get on the track of him in London. ll He accordingly left off the IIdt • which are silent in the English language, and transposed the lIell and lIa", thus rendering it in full English IIHACKER", as it is today. He further ll changed the name "Wilhelm" into IIWilliam , which is also the English pronunciation of that name. This was the true origin of the name and has ever since been so written by all his descendants so far as is now known. For surely there was nothing in the circum­ stances by which it was brought about to cause any of his descendants to be ashamed of it. HACKER now learned what had been done with his estates left in Saxony, and realized that he had been suddenly reduced from affluence to the necessity of searching for daily employment by which to procure the means of subsistence. This, however, did not cause him to waver in faith or deter him in doing all in his power to aid in the great reformation that was then starting up among the nations of Europe. He consequently employed much of his leisure time in going from house to house in London and Essex, reading the Bible and distributing Luther's tracts among the poor of those cities, and occasionally preach­ ing to the people, as opportunity offered, the doctrines of the reformation "Justification by Faith". He was among the first, if not the very first, to preach the great reformation of the Sixteenth Century in and about London. This energetic course of our venerated ancestor began to produce soon its legitimate fruits. Many converts were made to the new faith, and the common people began to real- ___. izeJ]9W fearfully they: had been mistaught and kept in ignorance ofthe truths as re­ vealed in the Bible by a corrupt and designing priesthood. 5 Among the more prominent who early came forward to aid in carrying on this good work thus so happily begun were FOXE, COVERDALE, TOPlEY, John and William PYKES, HARRIS. FORMAN, and many others who became energetic preachers of this new doc­ trine. These reformers growing numerous became more bold; did not confine themselves to the teaching of the poor and proclaiming the "glad tidings" in cottages and byways, but Bower Hall, the residence of the Squire of Bumpstead, was thrown open to them, and FOXE, TOPLEY, TYNDAl, with others, often read and expounded the Holy Scriptures in the great hall of the mansion, in the presence of the Master and all his household. While matters were thus progressing, word was received from Rome that money must be had from Eng/and, or the work on the great cathedral at Rome must cease, and urging upon Cardinal WOLSEY to stir up his Bishops and Priests to renewed exertions in this behalf. "Get money, no matter how; but get and send on more money!" For some time the Bishops of London had watched the proceedings of these reformers with much uneasi­ ness, but having at length been notified of what was demanded of him at Rome, and hav­ ing received instructions in relation thereto from his Cardinal, he at once commenced operations.

  • Leicestershire Address to Richard Cromwell
    Annotated address from the ‘well affected Inhabitants of the Countie of Leicester’ to Richard Cromwell, 1658. Original: Bodleian Library, Oxford MS Rawlinson A. 61* I discuss this manuscript in greater detail in chapter 5 of my monograph, Loyalty, Memory and Public Opinion in England, 1658-1727 (Manchester University Press, 2019). This was one of many loyal addresses sent to the new Protector, Richard Cromwell, in the autumn and winter of 1658: a hostile compendium of these texts A True Catalogue (1659) identified 94 texts from English boroughs and counties sent to Cromwell. Loyal addresses were expressions of public support, addressed to the monarch, or in this case the Lord Protector, on behalf of a particular community. They emerged as a political form during the Cromwellian Protectorate and their origin in this era was often invoked to question their authenticity. As An Impartial Account of the Nature and Tendency of the Late Addresses (1681), sometimes attributed to the Earl of Shaftesbury, stated ‘no Applications of this nature to the Regnant person are to be esteem’d of any great weight or significancy, if you do but consider the Result of the many Addresses Three and twenty year ago to Richard Cromwell, and how they only served to render him secure till he was undermined and supplanted. For of all the Sixteen hundred thousand that vow’d to Live and Dye by him, not so much as one man drew a Sword in his favour when he came to be laid aside .’1 Certainly, Richard’s short period in office seemed to cast doubt on the sincerity of the promises made within these texts and there is also evidence that this campaign was coordinated centrally, perhaps by the Protectorate’s propagandist-in-chief Marchamont Nedham.

But so great was the interest I found in my subject, that I have written a Book rather than an Article, and am now compelled to renounce my first intentions, and to lay this Historical Essay before the Public in the form of a distinct work. Before I had attentively read Oliver Cromwell’s Letters and Speeches, edited by Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE, I thought it would be beneficial to translate his volumes into French; but my opinions in that respect are changed. They appear to us generally on the Continent to possess so much originality of thought and manner as to defy all possibility of rendering them into any of our languages.

  • The Death Warrant of King Charles I
    THE DEATH WARRANT OF KING CHARLES I House of Lords Record Office Memorandum No. 66 House of Lords Record Office 1981 “The Mystery of the Death Warrant of Charles I: Some Further Historic Doubts” by A. W. McIntosh, OBE, MA CONTENTS Preface by the Clerk of the Records The Mystery of the Death Warrant of Charles I Transcript of the text of the Warrant Footnotes PREFACE Although constitutional documents as significant as the Bill of Rights are preserved in the care of the House of Lords Record Office, its most famous single document is undoubtedly the Death Warrant of King Charles I. In 1960 the Office published a leaflet containing a photographic reproduction of the Death Warrant, with an historical note, which has proved a best-seller in the HMSO bookshops. The note was based on the ‘received interpretation’ of the history of the document, generally known to historians in Volume 3 of the S. R. Gardiner’s History of the Great Civil War. When the leaflet was issued, the help of the British Museum Research Laboratory was enlisted in order to discover whether modern techniques such as infra-red rays would help to reveal what had been written under various subsequent insertions and corrections. Unfortunately, a seventeenth-century knife had scraped away all too effectively the top surface of the Warrant at places where new text had obviously been inserted. Gardiner’s general account was therefore left unaltered. Recently, however, the Death Warrant has been subjected to a further intensive historical investigation, and this investigation, at the very least, casts some doubts on the original Gardiner doctrine concerning the final stages in the trial of the King.

    Prof. (Dr.) Anjum Ashrafi HOD Department of History B. S. College, Danapur, Patna B.A. Part I RESTORATION 0F 1660 IN ENGLAND The Restoration of the Stuart monarchy in the kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ireland took place in 1660 when King Charles II returned from exile in Europe. The preceding period of the Protectorate and the civil wars, came to be known as the Interregnum (1649–1660). The term Restoration is also used to describe the period of several years after, in which a new political settlement was established. It is very often used to cover the whole reign of Charles II (1660–1685) and often the brief reign of his younger brother James II (1685–1688). In certain contexts it may be used to cover the whole period of the later Stuart monarchs as far as the death of Queen Anne and the accession of the Hanoverian George I in 1714. For example, Restoration comedy typically encompasses works written as late as 1710. After the Lord Protector from 1658-9 Richard Cromwell ceded power to the Rump Parliament, Charles Fleetwood and John Lambert (general) John Lambert then dominated government for a year. On 20 October 1659 George Monck, the governor of Scotland under the Cromwells, marched south with his army from Scotland to oppose Fleetwood and Lambert. Lambert's army began to desert him, and he returned to London almost alone whilst Monck marched to London unopposed. The Presbyterian members, excluded in Pride's Purge of 1648, were recalled, and on 24 December the army restored the Long Parliament.

  • ARTICLES by Peter Yerburgh Printed the Yarbrough Family Quarterly
    Volume 135 Yerburgh's Genealogy and History of the Yarbrough Family The Collected Works of Charles Peter Yerburgh, Esq., M.A., CoE Leonard S. Yarbrough, Editor June 2015 There are now more than a hundred different spellings of the family name – Yarborough, Yarboro, Yarbro, Yarber, Yarberry, Yawbry – but however the individual family spells its name, they are Yarbroughs, descendants from one of the oldest English houses. Whether we wish to admit it or not, we are the future of our ancestors, as our descendants are our future. We owe our descendants our dreams and bequeath to them the legacy of our collective accomplishments – nothing more and nothing less. To our descendants, we charge you with the honoring of your heritage. Your ancestors were hardy folk, god-fearing and plain spoken, and who recognized that nothing was due them except that which they themselves earned. They were not ashamed to profess their belief in God, their country and the American ideal. Of course, there were a few rapscallions in our collective history, but neither more nor less than in any other family. This is a collection of the articles and nomographs about the Yarbrough family, covering both the Old and New World Yarbrough family genealogy and history. Many first appeared in The Yarbrough Family Quaterly, which began publication in 1991 as a successor to The Yarborough Family Magazine. Peter Yerburgh’s contributions have greatly added to the family’s understanding of its place in English and American history. They also serve as defining evidence of the character of the individual families which comprise the collective Yarbrough family.

  • OF CROMWELLIAN ENGLAND by Gilbert Farthing
    THE COUNTRY-CITY "ALLIANCE" OF CROMWELLIAN ENGLAND 1658 - 1660 by Gilbert Farthing B.A., University of London, 1950. A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of HISTORY We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard. THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 1962 s In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. ABSTRACT ii This thesis originated in an attempt to explain the Restoration of Charles II. If the Puritan Revolution had been, as it was portrayed in school history lessons, a successful revolt of "the people" against a tyrant, why was the iyyant's libidinous son joyfully welcomed-.; less than twenty years after the revolt? From reading the two major works of the past century which had specifically dealt with this period — Guizot and Davies — it emerged that "the people" had very little to do with the Revolution, and still less with the Restoration. Guizot's emphasis on the part played by General Monk obviously arose from the author's tendency to narrate events rather than probe for causes. Davies, completing the long ser• ies of works begun by Gardiner and continued by Firth, was also largely concerned with narration.
