William Hackett (d. 1714) came to Salisbury, Massachusetts before 1666, and married Sarah Barnard, the daughter of Capt. Thomas Barnard.

Jabez Hackett lived in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1644, then moved to Taunton, Massachusetts in 1656. Capt. Thomas Hackett lived in Virginia ca. 1654. Another Thomas Hackett, Sr. and his wife, Elizabeth arrived in Maryland in 1674. Josiah Hackett was born in 1758 in Connecticut, and died in 1845 in New York. These and other Hacketts settled in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North and South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Virginia in the 1600-1700's.
