Person:Anna Terrell (3)

Information on Anna Terrell

D 2. Anna Terrell, daughter of Mrs. Anna Willis, was born in 1756. She married Robert Hackett, who survived their marriage about six weeks and was drowned in Broad river at Twittysford, a few miles from Rutherfordton, N. C.

Anna had one son and died in Rutherford county, North Carolina, in 1837. The name of her son was

E 1, Joel Lewis Hackett.

After the death of his mother he moved to Habbersham county, Georgia, to his half-brother, Robert Hackett, and was engaged attending to the farm of his half-brother, when he was accidentally killed in 1840 by a tree falling on him.

J. Lewis Hackett was a very worthy young man and bid fair to become a useful member of society; but in the midst of life we are in death. He had no family.
