Hackett Have we determined whether the middle name of James C. is CLAY OR CASPER? His death certificate states James Clay. Was he called both? He is listed only as James C. Hackett in cemetery listings. I have found no records calling him J. Casper. On marriage records as J. C. Hackrett (spelled as written) to Mary J. Piper. So how are we going to list this gent? James Clay/Casper Hackett???? Thanks Melba Melb his Obituary has James Casper Hackett he went by the nickname of Bonnie. he was married 3 times 1st. Mary Jane Piper, 2ns Bell Brooks, 3rd Carrie Mc Cawley, His picture is on his tombstone.

Melb his Obituary has James Casper Hackett he went by the nickname of Bonnie. he was married 3 times 1st. Mary Jane Piper, 2ns Bell Brooks, 3rd Carrie Mc Cawley, His picture is on his tombstone. Fred http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/jackson/vitals/deaths/dc1919.txt Fred, I found death certificate info on Jackson County website for James last two wives. Bell Brooks was Mary Belle Holland daughter of Leonidus T. "Lon" Holland & Louverna "Verna" C. Pyron. Belle was married first to Willie H. Brooks on March 05, 1886. Willie H. Brooks b. ? d. May 14, 1900. She then married James Casper Hackett. Not sure when 1900-1919. Mary Belle Holland died Jun 26, 1919 in Jackson Co. TN according to the death certificate info. Info says Mrs. Belle Hockette dau of Lon Hollan & Verna Holland. According to death certificate info she is buried in Birdwell Cemetery, (Jackson Co.?) http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tn/jackson/vitals/deaths/dc1944.txt James then married a third time and I had her as Carrie McCawley. But found on the Jackson Co. website death certificate info that says. Carrie Benedict Hackett b. Jun 9, 1884 d. May 25, 1944 dau of Simp Clark & Rebecca Sholders, spouse: Jim C. Hackett. These parents are Simpson Clark and Rebecca Shoulders. Perhaps Carrie was married to a McCawley before she married James C. ? Mary K.
