My maiden name is Hackathorn and my dad told me we had relatives buried in Ohio. I believe my Grandpa’s name was Darwin Dinwitty Hackathorn. Would love to find other of my family members. We have some relatives here in Kansas too that we have lost contact with since my Dad passed

  Hi, Charlene. Please forgive me for being so tardy to answer your comment. I do not have Darwin in my database. I did, however, do a bit of researching. We share the same immigrant ancestor, Reinhard Jacob Heckendorn, but your line is a different one than mine. I believe you are descended from George Hackathorn, son of Johan Jacob Heckendorn. If you haven’t already, you might want to read this blog posting about Reinhard: https://relativityitsallrelative.com/2015/01/27/52-ancestors-4-reinhard-jacob-heckendorn-they-say-its-your-birthday/
  Also, if you’re looking for ancestors buried in Ohio, you should center your initial research around Grandview in Washington County, Ohio. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Hollie is a jill-of-all-trades and master of a few. She is your typical introvert attempting to live a simpler life in a complicated world. She has two grown children who live in a much warmer climate. When she is not researching her family's history, you might find her writing, taking some photographs, digging in the dirt, doing a little yoga, or with her nose in a book. You also might find her walking along the Ohio & Erie Canal with her other half and their two dogs, Ben and Gus - a grouchy, old mixed-breed and a spoiled Siberian Husky. If you can't find Hollie, she's probably at the library.
