Update March 2008 - Thanks go to Geraldine Little Braswell & Sandy Spann for photographing the headstones in Oak Hill and allowing us to post them online. This should make the cemetery transcription as complete as possible through March 2008.

This information was compiled in 1997 by Cheyenne Johnson and James Patterson. An update was done in March of 2000. This information was kindly donated for our use by the Upshur County Historical Commission.

Thanks to Nancy Adams, JoAnn McBride, Jane Eubanks & Geraldine Little Braswell for the pictures!

(Hackler J. W. 12/18/1835 09/18/1911 13 Per Ronald Wade - John Wesley Hackler, born in Tennessee, the son of Thomas Hackler born about 1808 Tn., and Jane Moore born about 1810 Tn. Married Ava Jane Davidson (1837-1892) and their children included Allen Hackler born about 1856, Mary Hackler born about 1857, Adaline Hackler born about 1858, William Francis Hackler born about 1860, Andrew Jackson Hackler born about 1862, George Hackler born about 1862, Calvin Hackler born about 1865, Harris Franklin Hackler born about 1868, James Henry Hackler (1869 ? 1956), Bell Hackler born about 1871, Minnie Hackler born about 1873, and Margaret Alice Hackler born about 1876.   Enlisted in Confederate Army in Co. H., 18th Texas Infantry (Ochiltree's) as a Private and mustered out as a Junior Second Lieutenant. His enlistment date was on June 26, 1862. He served in the Confederate Army until 1865 and served as a nurse from November 1-22, 1862. The is was a time when disease was killing many Texas soldiers, including JWH's brother, William Hackler, who was in the same unit. After his service as a nurse, JWH was made sergeant and eventually was promoted Junior Second Lieutenant on December 14, 1863. He is mentioned in a manuscript written by John C. Porter, who wrote about his experience in the Civil War, where he also served in Company H. In the manuscript, Porter describes the November 3, 1863 battle of Bayou Bourbeaux, LA. Porter states: "We went into the fight that day, with twenty-seven men in the Company; we had six wounded, to wit: A. Johnson, mortally, T. P. Ails, W. L. Montgomery, T. S. McCurdy, W. Lilly and Jesse Steelman, all slightly. We came out with only seven besides the officers, whoso names, I think, should be recorded in this book to wit: Joe and David Bailey, W. H. H. Cope, John Johnson, John Freeman, Jonas Ervin amd myself (J. C. Porter). the officers were Lieut. T. L. Skeen and Serg't Hackler. The remainder of the Company, I am ashamed to confess, played out." After serving as Sheriff, John Wesley Hackler became Judge of Upshur County.
