EV. JOSEPH HACKETT was a co-laborer with Revs. James O'Kelly, Clement Nance, William Moore, and others in the early part of the nineteenth century. He was ordained to the ministry under the leadership of Mr. O'Kelly. And possibly he may have traveled with the older ministers in the middle counties of Virginia. He served on the ordaining presbytery at the Conference at Shiloh in Halifax county, Virginia, in 1805, when Rev. Thomas E. Jeter was set apart to the work of the gospel ministry in the Christian Church.
