Immigration
Note

Came to Burlington, NJ in 1690 with his brother Samuel and sister Susannah.

John Hackney1, son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Jennings) was born 12 November 1676 in Hemel Hempstead. He immigrated to Burlington in West Jersey, presumably married, and had a son. A John Hackney was listed as a Quaker in Burlington County in 1704, but I do not know just what the "Early Census Index" refers to (p. 371) that lists him. That is the sum total of our knowledge about him at the moment. Questions abound: did he remain a Quaker? When did he immigrate? Who was his wife? What did he do for a living? Did he have any additional children? When and where did he die?

There are NO real estate records for John, Joseph, or Samuel Hackney in Burlington County or in all of West Jersey in Basse's Book of Surveys, 1670-1727. I have found NO marriage record for John Hackney in Burlington County. Nor could I find one for him in the Burlington Meeting records, or in the Philadelphia, Salem, Falls, or Middletown Meeting records—if John married under the care of Friends. We have no proof that he did. A John Hackney was "married to Hanah [sic] his wife April the 11th 1726" in Talbot County, Md., but I have no idea if this was our man. [Historical Society of Penna., Historic Pennsylvania Church and Town Records, 1708-1985, 113, as digitized on ancestry library, through ProQuest, accessed 3/28/2013.] Thus far I have been unable to access wills, administrations, and inventories, or other court records for West Jersey.

However, John was mentioned in the will of his mother's brother, Samuel JENNINGS of New Jersey, signed in July 1708 and proved in October 1709, so John was presumably alive at that time.

Child of John and (__) Hackney (may be incomplete?):

Joseph Hackney2, b. 19 Sept. 1700 in Burlington, W. Jersey; d. 18 Mar. 1743/4 in New Castle Co., in what became Delaware; m. 1731 Charity HARLAN.
