Ted: Sackett wallboard was invented by #3941-Augustine Sacket In the December 1999 Old House Journal, Page 24 was this article. WHO THEY WERE...WHAT THEY DID No one perfected walls that go up faster than plaster until AUGUSTINE SACKETT patented the first gypsum board in 1894. By sandwiching five thin layers of gypsum ( a lightweight, non-combustible rock) between six sheets of felt paper, Inventor Sackett produced a 36" square wallboard that demanded neither supporting lath nor curing time. Sackett continued to improve his Plaster Board until 1909, when it was acquired by the U.S. Gypsum Company, producer of sheetrock. ===== Concerning a letter from: "Miss Edith R. Sackett of Warren, Connecticut. ... She said that Aaron was the uncle of her father, Augustine Sackett, inventer of plaster board now manufactured by the U.S. Gypsum Co." [Andrew P.

http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/sackvill.htm presents information on Vita Sackville-West, and English poet and novelist. Also, I'm slowly gathering information about Sackville locales. It seems there are several in Nova Scotia (e.g., Lower Sackville, which has a high school, several roads, and an old fort) and New Brunswick (the town of Sackville). Also, the Canadian Navy Memorial is HMCS Sackville. You'll find links to those (and more as I locate them) at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~tcsmith/sackett/locales.htm

Thurmon The date for Jessy Sackett's death was 8/01/1859 Butch

Thank you!! This indicates that he was born about 1768. I have one Jesse Sackett born about 1768/1769. I believe this might be #653-Jesse Sackett, son of 202-Jonathan and Hannah Phelps Sackett. According to the estate papers and the 7 Apr 1777 guardianship papers for Jesse he was about 8 years old at that time. His guardian was his uncle, 204-Reuben Sackett. Dr. Samuel Sackett of Fayette Co., PA was a cousin of 653-Jesse Sackett and we know that Dr. Samuel's son, Reuben T. Sackett was in LA about 1801 and died there in 1823.

On This Day in 1710 was born - Benoni Sacket 1710-1785, son of Samuel Sacket and Elizabeth (Bissell) Sacket. My records show - Benoni Sacket ID.Gen.Tree=4506.60.4L.7 Born: 18 May 1710, Westfield, Massachusetts. Marriage intention filed: Benoni Sacket and Mindwell Smith, 11 March 1731/32, Westfield, Massachusetts. Married: Mindwell Smith, March 1731/32. Died: 6 April 1785, Westfield, Massachusetts. Sacketts of America: biography. Comments: Benoni's father Samuel died in November 1709, several months before Benoni's birth. His mother Elizabeth was remarried in 1712, to John Root. Benoni's name appears in a list dated 1746-47 of private soldiers in Capt. Thomas Cheney's Company of the Regiment of Foot raised in Massachusetts for the expedition against Canada. Research pages: Sackett Family Association descendants of Benoni Sacket. Patty Sackett Chrisman. Children of Benoni Sacket and Mindwell (Smith) Sacket: Mindwell, Elisabeth, Diana, Lucretia, Ruth ------------------ The 1746-47 list of soldiers was found in the NEHG Register which I am currently working on. Patty figured it had to refer to this Benoni on the fairly safe basis that he is the only Benoni we know of! Any ideas where the name might have come from? Regards, Chris
