**************************************
The Hackney family legend has long told of a "violation" of ElizabethHickman while attending the birth of one of her sister Susan's children.She is said to be the mother of Allen J. Hackney and though the lastdocumented child of her sister Susan and husband George Hackney is circa1868, that does not exclude the possibility of another child being bornand perhaps dying. Or, it is possible that Allen J. Hackney is not thecorrect son. For years William H. Hackney was thought to be the father,and due to the unwanted shame of such a thing, he left Friendsville,Tennessee. As the story goes, his father George Hackney, husband ofSusan Hickman, is said to have confessed on his deathbed to the"violation" of his sister-in-law Elizabeth Hickman. Futhermore, it issaid that Elizabeth tried to drown herself and her son, the shame was soprofound in this Quaker community. Apparently she lost her mind over itall and is listed as "idiotic" on the 1870 census. The story has it thatElizabeth died as a result from the drowning and that the boy sufferedbrain damage as a result of the incident. Mary Jane Hackney, daughter ofGeorge and Susan Hickman Hackney raised Allen J. Hackney after herparents died. She also raised Paul Hackney, son of her sister CaledonaHackney who, as the story goes, was "violated" by her sister Sarah'shusband Leason F. Gregg at the time of one of their children's birth.
