• Notes

  not named not named Jane Pearson was a "commoner" who marri Jane Pearson was a "commoner" who married James hacking, the youngest son of an English Earl, and as such could be cut off with a Shilling by his mother after his father's death. His father died before he married Jane. His mother was opposed to his marriage, primarily because Jane was a commoner, and immediately after the wedding she cut him out of her will. Since the estate was entailed, it, with the title, went to his older brother William Hacking at his father' death. William was a doctor and unmarried and therefore without issue. He was drowned in the English Channel when his boat overturned while fishing. The town of Proud Preston, located in Lancashire County, England, belonged to the Hacking family, and he rentals amounted to L400 a year. After James Hacking died, Jane Pearson and the children moved to Manchester, where James, Jr., learned to run four looms in a cloth factory and Jane and Harriet each ran two looms until the family earned enough to come to the United States in 1848. The family landed in New Orleans. James Hacking Jr. and his family went to Massachusetts, where he and his girls worked in the cloth factories in Fall River and later lived in New Bedford. James served in the Union Army during the Civil War, The rest of the family continued on their journey to seek their fortunes in the West.

Daughter Harriett died while they were crossing the plains somewhere along the Platte River. Daughter Jane married a man named King in Salt Lake City, apparently in order to get a home. A child, David Franklin, was born to them on January 9, 1853. It is not known whether Mr. King died, or they divorced, but Jane then married a man named McNeil, who was a government scout. McNeil was shot in the back by Indians and died at Camp Floyd, which later became Fairfield, Utah. They had a daughter named Josephine , who died when she was about two years old.
