His Ancestry in Germany
He was born in Germany in Baden per the 1870 Census. German baptism record shows his parents as Georg Bernhard Lackner 1787-1852 and Juliana Volkert and them being in the Rohrbach parrish of Sinsheim, Baden. His name was originally Johann but changed to John in the US.
In one record he is listed as being from Prussia.
Later research has clarified that he lived in Adersback (village), near Sinshein (town) in the Rhine-Neckar-Krieis region of what is now Baden-Wurthenburg, Germany. At one time, part of Baden was in Prussia. German boundaries have been moved several times in the 19th and 20th centuries.
His parents married 5 Jul 1818 in the Evangelical Church (Evengelisch) in the Rohrhach district of Sinsheim, a town near Heidelberg in Baden (now Baden-Wurttemburg). His parents also had at least four daughters: Juliane Katherine Bernard (1819-1893), Catherina, Rosine Katherine, and Joanna Margaretta.
His mother was the daughter of Heinrich Volkert and Maria Juliana Franck (1754-1809). His mother was the daughter of Johann and Maria Theresia Franck.
His father was the son ofJohann Stephan Lackner 1756-1820 and Johanna Margaretha Schoener 1766-1823. His father was baptized at the Evangelical Church in Adersbach district of Sinsheim, near Heidelberg, Baden on 1 Oct 1786.
His Life in the US
He immigrated to US with future wife, Christina Speer, in 1850, arriving from Germany via Antwerp on 20 Apr 1850 on the Stad Antwerpen. A marriage record has not been found. They lived in NYC about 18 years before moving to Jersey City, NJ. Children were baptized at the German Presbyterian Church on Rivington St. on the Lower East Side.
He was a carpenter.
The Lackners had five known children. Surviving him were John Mathias Lackner, a Tiffany silversmith; William Lackner (1860-between 1926 & 1930 when his wife is listed as a widow), an engraver; and Emma Lackner Schedler Trimpt (1868-after 1940). Daughters Anna and Elizabeth died young and are also buried here. A son Louis b. c. 1860 is listed only in 1870 Census and William b. 1861 is missing although he would have only been 9. William is found in the 1880 Census with his parents but Louis was not. I suspect that Louis and William were the same person and an error was made in 1870 or Louis changed his name to William before 1880.
It seems likely that the Lackners purchased this burial plot when their daughter Anna died in 1864 while they still lived in New York.
They moved to Jersey City about 1868 and are found in the 1870 Census. The family is in the 1880 Census as Lockner. They lived at 115 Griffith, Jersey City at least between 1877 and 1893 and probably longer according to City Directories. There is now a high rise apartment building at that location.
Whether these graves in Queens, NY were marked is not clear. One descendent took one picture and thought that was the area of the graves and that they were unmarked in 2013. The later picture was posted by a contributor very familiar with this cemetery and shows now unreadable gravestones that might be theirs. She determined this because the readable gravestone for Bertha Wild is in plot 293 and the Lackners, according to cemetery records, are in plot 291.
