HAKET

The Hackets of Niton, in the Isle of Wight, were the descendants of the Haket of the Battle Abbey Roll. The eventual heiress, Agnes, daughter of John Hackett, Esq. of Niton, married John Lye, Esq., of Dorsetahire, and was mother of Anne Lye, wife of Sir James Worsley, constable of Carisbrook Castle. Dominus Paganus de Haket, who also derived his descent from the soldier of Hastings, accompanied Henry II. to Ireland, and acquired broad lands and seignories there; and his descendants, generation after generation, were parliamentary Barons, and potent Magnates in the sister kingdom. They are now represented by MICHAEL HACKETT, Esq. of Brooklawn, co. Dublin.
