Mount Etna Tackett was born about 1808 in Kentucky. By 1838 he was taxed in Mooney Township, Phillips County, where he appears on the Tax List, and where in 1840 he is enumerated on the Federal Census.  On the same census page, we see his probable brother on line 17 "Posy Tackett 100042-30002", living next to his probable brother-in-law on line 18 "William L Hardin 10001-0001" who had married Cindila Tackett on 23 Apr 1835 in Phillips County.
  
The [http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=View&r=an&dbid=8057&iid=ARM704_19-0167&fn=William+S&ln=Hardin&st=r&ssrc=&pid=1412319 1840 Census of Mooney Township, Phillips County, Arkansas] shows on line 10 "Mountetna Tacket 1112-00001". It would seem that the tally mark for him is missing. The slave census shows for line 10, 1 male 24-36 and 1 female 10-24.
+
In 1860, in the land office of Helena, as "Mount Etna Tackett of Phillips County", he entered 80 acres by Cash Entry, at E1/2SW S21-T6S-R2W. This land sits a quarter-section above E P's land, but a year later in 1861, Mount Etna came back and bought that intermediate quater-section as well. You can see how the lands of [[George L Tackett (1830-65)|George Tacket]], Mount Etna Tacket and Edmond P G Tackett intersect [http://www.countyhistorian.com/picture_library/Tackett.JPG here].
  
On the same page we see his probably brother on line 17 "Posy Tackett 100042-30002", living next to his probably brother-in-law on line 18 "William L Hardin 10001-0001"
