I just received a diary from my mother, Lois (McCarter) Taylor who is related to Chris Hackett.
I have a copy of a diary that dates back to March, 1862 and details the account of Chris Hackett who
was my great - great grandfather. The diary is quite interesting and records the various battles -
Malvern Hill, Gettysburg, Spotslvania.

Chris Hackett moved to Oaktown, IN and married into the family.

Please contact me to share more details...I would be happy to send you the scanned copy of
the diary that I just received (in case you need a copy).

Sincerely,

Keith Taylor

P.S. My mother's family still lives in Terre Haute...the McCarter's (Leon is my uncle) and I plan to take a trip soon to visit the graveyard on old 41 to trace our family history.
