Chris and all: The name Benoni comes from the Bible in Genesis 35:18 Isaac's wife, Rachel died giving birth to a son and before she died she named him Benoni which means "son of sorrow." However, Isaac called him Benjamin. So the name would fit for Benoni Sacket. Elizabeth gave birth to him months after her husband had died.

Thurmon As I continue to dig into various spots looking for my Sacketts, I keep finding others that I cannot place. This is all of the Information that I have on this one, but He may fit into someone's missing person file: Sackett Jessy 91 years of age, male, white, Orleans Parish Death Index Volume 21 Page 45, this is a record of a death in Orleans Parish Louisiana.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sackett Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ChEBAIB/234 Message Board Post: I am writing in search of anyone interested in a family of Sacketts who were listed in the 1860 census as residents of the town of New Philadelphia, in Hadley Township, Pike County, Illinois: Asa, a farmer born in New York, Ivy, born in Ohio, and their children George, John, Mary, Daniel, Asa, and Lucinda. I am working with a group of historians and archaeologists from the University of Maryland, the Illinois State Museum, the University of Illinois, and the New Philadelphia Association, to research the social history of this town and its past residents as part of our national heritage. We have recently obtained funding from the National Science Foundation as part of our efforts, and we will be engaged in a multi-year project of historical studies, oral history interviews, and archaeological investigations. If you are interested in this project, and recovering the national memory of this historic town, please contact us. We seek your input, as a member of the community who may have an interest in this effort, to talk with us about the types of questions you would like to have addressed through such research, and your thoughts and preferences on potential ways to honor the heritage of New Philadelphia. The story of New Philadelphia is both compelling and unique. In 1836, Frank McWorter, an African American who was born into slavery and later purchased his own freedom, acquired 42 acres of land in the sparsely populated area of Pike County, situated in the rolling hills bounded by the Illinois and Mississippi rivers. He incorporated a town, subdivided the property, and sold lots. He encouraged other families of African American and European heritage to move to the town and create a racially integrated community in the decades before and after the Civil War. New Philadelphia likely served as a stopping place for the "Underground Railroad" of enslaved African Americans who were fleeing northward from the oppression of southern plantations. The history of New Philadelphia serves as a rare example of an integrated early farming community on the nation's Midwestern frontier. The town's population reached its peak of about 170 people after the Civil War, a size comparable to many! Pike County communities today. However, by the end of the century corporate politics resulted in the death knell for the settlement: regional transportation investors routed a new railroad line to bypass the town. Many of New Philadelphia's residents eventually moved away and, by the early twentieth century, only a few families remained. You can learn more about the history of New Philadelphia, and details concerning upcoming phases of our multi-year research efforts by following the related web page links you will find at: http://www.heritage.umd.edu Thank you very much for your time and consideration, Natalie Armistead New Philadelphia Association ladycarp@adams.net

A few days ago I sent copies of the images that Chuck Pegg gave me to Chris Sackett. He noticed that Nancy had consistently written Jacob Harner Jiames, not Jacob Horner James as I had stated in my original post. [I'd always been told his middle name was Horner and simply failed to notice the difference.] I've asked one of my great-aunts to see whether she can verify which is correct. Here's the corrected post. Also, if anyone wants copies of the images, just ask. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Smith" Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 5:16 PM Subject: [SACKETT-L] Sarah Sackett James (1840-1917) > On April 18, 2004, I received some e-mail from a distant cousin (Chuck > Pegg).

Thanks, Nancy. FYI, I've been quite busy for the past year. I "retired" early from state service to help set up a new private college and decided to go back to school. Right now I'm getting ready for comps (part of the PhD process) at Capella University. I pretty much have Sackett-L and other mail lists on auto-pilot, although I read some Sackett-L posts every once in a while. I'd like to come to Salt Lake City for the gathering... We'll see what my finances are like as the date draws nigh. I reluctantly closed my calweb.com account as I was getting more than 100 spam messages each day. My personal web site is at http://home.surewest.net/tcsmith/ , but I don't plan on adding much genealogical material there (although the site is dedicated to my dad). -- Ted ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy Cluff Siders" <siders@cableone.net> To: <SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 6:01 PM Subject: RE: [SACKETT-L] Sarah Sackett James (1840-1917) > > Ted, > > It's wonderful to hear from you again!
