Henry was born as the oldest son and second child of nine born to William Hacking and Ann Pearson Hacking in either Holmes or Burton in Kendal, Westmorland, England where Henry was christened. The 1841 England Census where their residence was Burton gives this locations as the birthplace of all of the family at that time. 1841 English Census: Burton in Kendal, Westmoreland lists family members William (40) occupation: School Master, Ann (30), Martha (10), Henry (8), Robert (5), Ann (3), and Elizabeth (8 mo.).
The living family members immigrated to the United States in 1849. 4 May 1849 Arrive in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States on the Rockall in company of W. Euactson Pierson (35) School teacher; Agnes Pierson (28), Anne Pierson (15), Richard Pierson (5), Eliza Pierson (3), Agnes Pierson (infant), Robert Pierson (69) farmer, Anne Hacking (39), Martha Hacking (17), Henry Hacking (15), Robert Hacking (12) Anne Hacking (10) Elizabeth Hacking (7), William Hacking (3), John Hacking (infant). Intended place to inhabit for all of the above is Ohio, USA.
1850 United States Federal Census for Cincinnati Ward 11, Hamilton, Ohio enumerated on 31 July 1850 dwelling #552 family #1086: Ann Hacking (40), Martha Hacking (18), Henry Hacking (16) farmer, Robert Hacking (13), Ann Hacking (12), Elizabeth Hacking (10), John Hacking (2). All born in England. [Ann Pierson (17) from England is listed below John. She is listed living with a family from Germany. I think it is odd she would be the first one listed in the place usually reserved for the head of household. I am wondering if she was living with her Aunt Ann Hacking instead.] Aug 1850 recorded in the 1850 United States Federal Census, Mortality Schedule for Cincinnati Ward 11, Hamilton, Ohio William Hacking (4) born in England died of Cholera Morbus after being ill for 3 days.
Henry must have traveled a bit. He married Mary Ann Wilson at the home of her father in Sand Prarie, Lee County, Iowa on 29 March 1854. He left fairly soon after that to travel to handle his estate in England before the birth of his daughter Henrietta on 5 August 1855 at Red Oak, Montgomery, Iowa. Unfortunately, Henry was shipwrecked and his wife, thinking he had died, remarried. (Another child of Mary Ann, Eana Roena (correctly spelled Edith Rosena), is listed in the 1860 Census as a Hacking, but she was not born until about 1858, which was too long after Henry's departure to be his child if he had left before the Iowa state census of 1856, which has Mary Ann living with her brother and newborn Henrietta. Henry returned to Pennsylvania and was immediately drafted into the Union Army in Philadelphia on 30 May 1861 in the 41st Regiment (12th Reserve), Company A as a Private. He wrote letters to his mother and siblings that included his distress about his wife's remarriage and emphasized that he wanted his pension to go to his daughter Henrietta, whom he had never seen, and not Mary Ann.
During the Seven Days' Battles, Henry's regiment was among the Union soldiers that fought. On the fifth day Henry was killed on Turkey Bridge along Charles City Road near the crossroad lacated near the Glendale National Cemetery. We are uncertain of where he was buried, but we assume because of the nearness of his death to this cemetery that it is a probable location.
