I am researching the surname Hackworth (Hackwith) in Schuyler County, Illinois. Thomas Hackworth (Hackwith) b. l5 Sep l850 to parents James Preston Hackworth and Nancy Bryant (or Branham) in Bainbridge Township, Schuyler County, Ill. Thomas had a brother named James Preston Hackworth b. l848. Thomas's father James Preston (or just Preston) was the son of George Hackworth and Ann Leftwich. Thomas Jefferson Hackworth (Hackwith) shown above married Alvina Hall, daughter of Elisha Hall and Angeline Heflin, in Versailles, Ill. in l876. Their children were: James Monroe Hackwith (Hackworth), Ida May Hackworth (Hackwith, and Veda Marie Hackworth (Hackwith). The spelling of the surname was changed after Thomas Jefferson Hackworth married Alvina Hall. The spelling is now shown as Hackwith in our family records for this branch of the Hackworth family. Please contact me if you have any information. Joan
