Note

Harriet Hacking was the third child of James and Jane (Pearson) Hacking, born in Clawthorpe, just north of Burton In Kendal, Westmoreland, England, where she was christened on 1 July 1931. Her family would have much sadness as two of her siblings, Alice and Ann, died young, and then in 1839, her father died, one family story says he fell from a building he was building but his death record says he died of consumption, leaving her mother with James (12) Harriet (8) Jane (6) and John Sampson (4) to raise. James left a small inheritance, but since his oldest son was not yet 21, the family was left destitute.

The family also joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that year, Jane being baptized soon after her husband died. James had expressed an interest in the gospel before he died. Several of Jane's side of the family also joined the Church and eventually immigrated to Utah.

Jane married John Fisher, and in 1842 twin girls Alice and Elizabeth were born, but Elizabeth died soon after. Two sons, Moroni and William came later. Alice and Moroni were the only two of the Fishers to live to raise their own families.

James Hacking, brother of Harriet, signed for the responsibility financially to bring the family to America. At this time, which was July 3, 1849, the following members made up the family to emigrate: James Hacking 21 years, his wife Jane aged 29 years, their baby daughter Alice 2 months; and Harriet Hacking 18 years, Jane Hacking 16 years and John Sampson Hacking 12 years; the mother and stepfather—John Fisher aged 44 years and Jane Fisher 41 years; their children: Alice Fisher aged 8, Moroni Fisher aged 5, and the baby William, aged 4 months, living at (Ingham) Street, Preston, Lancashire, England. They made their application to sail in September, 1849—eleven members in the family to come! However Uncle Jim's baby daughter Alice died before they left England (Mary Jane was another baby they had lost earlier). They sailed on the James Pennell with 236 saints, as noted on this page insert for Brigham Youngs journal.

. . . .
August 28, 1849: Captain Howard Stansberry, U.S. Topographical Engineers, and command, arrived in the city on the 28th.

September 1849
September 1, 1849: On the 1st of September, in company with presidents Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards, Elder Jedediah M. Grant, and several others, including the band, I went to Brown’s Fort, where we took supper and stayed for the night.

September 2, 1849: The next day, Sunday at noon, the people assembled at the fort, and were addressed by myself, presidents Heber C. Kimball and Willard Richards, and Elder Jedediah M. Grant.

September 3, 1949: On the 3rd we ascended a sand hill, to discover the best location for a town, which we finally decided should be laid out on the south side of Ogden River, at the point of bench land, so that water from Weber and Ogden rivers might be taken out for irrigation and other purposes. A dance was instituted in the evening.

This day a messenger arrived from Utah Fort, with the unpleasant intelligence that while firing the cannon a second time, the charge went off, on account of the gun not having been swabbed out, killing Brother William Dayton on the spot, and taking off the left hand and part of the left arm of George W. Bean, necessitating amputation at the elbow.

The company returned to the city on the 4th.

On the 2nd, the ship James Pennell, Captain Fullerton, with 236 emigrants of the saints on board, under the care of Thomas Clark, and on the 5th, the Berlin, Captian Smith, with 253 emigrants of the saints on board under the charge of James G. Brown, sailed from Liverpool for New Orleans.

The bishops met on the 3rd, and apportioned off to the various wards the finishing of the bowery.

Soon after the Fisher/Hacking family came to St. Louis, William died. Again, the family was struggling against starvation, but the industrious family worked hard to earn money to travel west. However, James stayed in the St. Louis area for several years and then moved to Massachusetts with his wife Jane and daughters Catherine Caroline, Elizabeth Ann, Harriet, Mary Jane, and Jeanette (?) born in Missouri. The rest of the Fisher/Hacking family traveled with the James W. Cummings Company to Utah as shown by this exerpt from the Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel, 1847-1868. Additional information about the journey are available on the web site.
