Hackney-80 and Hackney-903 appear to represent the same person because: William Hackney and William Hackney appear to be the same man with his two wives. William's 1753 will named grown children, his grandchildren, BUT also names two minor sons and his wife Elizabeth (second marriage). John Berry was admin. Berry then became guardian to the minors AND admin. to Elizabeth's estate when she died in 1761. The youngest son Benjamin still required guardianship in 1762 so not born to a woman (Alice) b. 1687. The grown son William Hackney's will was dated 4 June 1776 and also names a wife Elizabeth but she did not die until 1786, still had two minor daughters in 1776, so cannot be the widow Elizabeth Wilkins.
