I forgot to mention that there was another Hacker-Beeler connection, although it was more of a "shirttail" relationship.
Anna Hollingsworth Parker married your ancestor Joseph Beeler after his first wife died.Anna was the mother of Rebecca Hollingsworth who married George Washington Hacker May 8, 1838 in a double wedding where her brother Joseph married Susan Wolfenberger.Jesee Beeler was the bondsman for George W. Hacker's marriage.
Jesee Beeler could have been the son of Daniel Beeler, son of Jacob Beeler (John V. Beeler's brother).Daniel had moved his family from Sullivan Co. to Claiborne Co. in 1809 when Jessee Franklin Beeler was four years old.When he was 23 he left his father's home and pursued several ventures.He married his first wife in Grainger Co., and when she died he married his second wife there also.So, he was probably living in Grainger Co. in 1838.By that time, his sister, Elizabeth, was living in Grainger Co. with her husband Julius C. Hacker.George W. and Rebecca Hollingsworth Hacker also lived in Grainger.George died about 1848, but the 1850 Fed. census shows Rebecca Hacker living in Grainger with her four children.From the time of her marriage until Joseph Beeler's death in 1845, her mother Anna was living in Grainger as his wife.
I could find no other Jesee or Jessee in my records of John V. Beeler's descendents, however, my records are far from complete.All of this is to say that the Hackers and Beelers living in Grainger Co. knew each other and were interconnected in several ways.
