Their home in Floyd Co, Kentucky was burned in 1809.

According to Mary Preston, in a letter written seeking a military pension on behalf of John's revolutionary service, he was a widower with five children when they married.

In March, 1781, Thomas was drafted into the militia as a private
and his first duty was to guard a magazine in his county for three months. Two months later he was drafted again and his company marched to Yorktown (along with his probable brother John). He was discharged on October 20, the day after
Cornwallis surrendered, but was then employed for a month in guarding the prisoners taken on the surrender of Cornwallis and marched with them from Yorktown to Winchester, Virginia, where he was discharged.

>> Hackworth Family of Floyd County
>> This is a local surname, "of Hackworth", that is, the worth of the
>>farmstead of Hake. The family is of English extraction and was seated in
>>England in very early times as is evidenced by the Hundred roll which
bears
>>the names of Peter de Hakeworth and John de Hakeworth, County Devon, 1273.
>>Members of the family emigrated from England to Virginia in early colonial
>>days and were numerous in Bedford County, Virginia. That colony in the
>>middle 1700s. In Virginia they defend the colony in all its wars and
>>supported the cause of American Independence.
>>
>> Augustine Hackworth and William Hackworth had service in Thomas
>>Buford's Company of Bedford County, Virginia militia and were in the
battle
>>at Point Pleasant (Oct. 10, 1774) between the Virginia troopers under
>>General Andrew Lewis, and a strong Indian Army led by the Shawnee chief,
>>Cornstalk. Thomas Hackworth had service in the Rev. War in Capt. Trigg's
>>company of militia.
>>
>> The Hackworth Family of Eastern Kentucy
>> Members of the Hackwroth family migrated and settled in Eastern
>>Kentucky in early pioneer days, the exact time not certainly known. The
>>earliest available records, the U.S. Census of Floyd Co., KY for 1810,
bear
>>the names of John Hackworth, and Jeremiah Hackworth as heads of families.
>>John Hackworth and his wife were then over 45 years of age; and living in
>>the household were eight sons and three daughters. Jeremiah Hackworth and
>>his wife were then between 26 and 45 years of age; and living in their
>>household were their two sons. Apparently John Hackworth was the ancestor
>>of a great many of the Eastern Kentucky Hackworths.
>> Members of the Hackworth family married into some of the important
and
>>influential peoneer families of Eastern Kentucky. among others were the
>>Haywoods, the Laynes, the Meades, the Pattons, the Ratliffs and the
>Wittens.
>>The family became numerous and spread over the entire Eastern section of
>the
>>state.
