Just in case folks from this WVA family of border settlers in the mid-1700's do not know ... There is a wonderful group of files on the history of these men in the Lucullus McWhorter Collection at Washington State University Holland Library Special Collections. You can access the catalog of the collection online thru the WSU website. The collection contains also letters from McWhorter to and from Hacker family members pre-1950, as well as research done from the Draper Papers [archived in Wisconsin] with John Hacker desc letters from @ 1912. McWhorter was from WVA and worked on a re-issuing and updating of the basic book "The Border Settlers" whose author among the Hackers and friends in the 1800's was rather a controversial guess. Draper was also an expert in the early settlers on the Allegheny frontier.McW. ended up in WA state, working on Nez Perce Indian history, and so his WVA materials are archived there. I had a number of pages on the Hackers copied for me. Candace918@aol.com
