The Hackler Family Connection<br />

The Hackler <strong>and</strong> Dunham families connect to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Stewart</strong> family by way <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> marriage <strong>of</strong> Ira<br />

Hackler to Anna Dunham. One child <strong>of</strong> this marriage was Betty Elizabeth Hackler, gr<strong>and</strong>mo<strong>the</strong>r<br />

<strong>of</strong> Stacy <strong>Atkins</strong> Pinter. First <strong>the</strong> Hackler family will be discussed, followed by <strong>the</strong> Dunham<br />

family.<br />

Before 1850<br />

The account <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Hackler family prior to 1850 was taken exclusively from<br />

www.ancestry.com’s OneWorldTree. In this tree, ancestry.com combines all public trees<br />

available into it “best guess” tree. From 1850 on, <strong>the</strong> US census data was used.<br />

The first Hackler to be connecting to this family line is Jacob Hechler. He was born in <strong>the</strong> Alsace<br />

region <strong>of</strong> France in 1680. Note that <strong>the</strong> surname is spelled Hechler. Here is a table showing <strong>the</strong><br />
