    1. Ancestry of Aaron Sacket m. Phebe Hart (revisited)
    2. Thurmon E King
    3. Hello Sackett Searchers; I have been reviewing the information I have for 714-Aaron Sackett. On page 491 Weygant says that he was a grandson of #75-Richard Sackett and names two sons for Aaron; 12720-William and 12721-Charles. But Weygant gives no indication as to which of his sons was the father of Aaron. Weygant lists three sons for Richard; viz., 167-Richard, jr., 268-Dr. John, and 271-Josiah Crego Sackett. Richard, jr. did not have a son named Aaron. Dr. John had one un-named child which was evidently a daughter. So I had believed that Josiah Crego Sackett was the father of 714-Aaron Sackett. However, the will of Richard Sackett indicates that although Josiah Crego was referred to as "my beloved son" he was not a Sackett and, therefore, was not the father of 714-Aaron. This past week Kathy Campbell sent me some new information which I believe strongly suggests that Weygant and others have been in error when they placed Aaron Sackett, m. Phebe Hart as a descendant of 75-Richard Sackett and that the Aaron Sackett who married Phebe Hart was probably 544-Aaron Sacket (b. bef 14 Jan 1767), son of 174-Benjamin Sacket and Deborah Buell. The facts known for Aaron is that he married in Litchfield Co., CT on 6 Jul 1786, Phebe Hart (b. 3 May 1763 or 1764). Vital records and the Federal 1790 and 1800 censuses show that Aaron and Phebe had 7 children born in Litchfield Co., CT after which they moved to Vermont about 1803. One of the objections to accepting 544-Aaron as the husband of Phebe Hart has been the fact that she would have been about 4 years older than Aaron and that he would have been 19 1/2 years at the time of their marriage in 1786. The 1810 census indicates that Aaron was, indeed, younger than Phebe. Kathy found Aaron's household in the 1810 census and said; "I can't believe after searching for him in the 1810 Vermont census so many times that I FINALLY found him. He is the last line on the page, and you can just make out his name." 1810 Vermont Census, Rutland County, Wallingford Roll#65, Printed page#141, Written page#214 Enumerated on or about 06 Aug. 1810 (Census Day) Aaron SACKET (indexed as Aaron SACHIL) 1 male under age 10 (William) 1 male aged 16 - 26 (Charles) 1 male aged 26 - 45 (b. 1765-1784) (Aaron, b. 1767) 3 females under aged 10 (Electa, Nancy, Malinda) 2 females aged 10 - 16 (Amanda, Phebe) 1 female aged 45 and over (b. bef 1765) (Phebe b. 1763/64) 1820 Vermont Census, Rutland County, Wallingford Roll#126, p. 246 Enumerated on or about 07 Aug. 1820 Aaron SACKETT 1 male aged 10 - 16 (this has to be either Malinda or Nancy, and not a boy - [Kathy's note]) 1 male aged 45 and over (Aaron) 1 female aged 45 and over (Phebe) This past week Donald Nolder posted the vital records from Sheffield, Berkshire Co., MA which has the christening date for 544-Aaron: Sacket CHR 14 Jan 1767 Aaron S Benjamin Sacket and Dorothy 01369-6 Additional information found in Weygant's notes on pages 101-102 for Aaron's father, Benjamin, of Sheffield, Mass., Litchfield, Conn., and New Lebanon, NY: A parchment deed, dated May 30, 1780, conveying 59 acres of land in the town of Goshen, Litchfield County, Conn., was, in 1905, in possession of Mr. Marvin Sackett, of Lebanon, NY. The grantor is Ebenezer Buell and the grantee Buell Sacket. The consideration clause reads, "given in consideration of the natural love and affection which I have and do bear unto Buell Sacket, my grandson." [Note: Family History of Southern NY, Vol. I, Southern New York Family Histories, Page 44; gives the date of the parchment deed as May 30, 1786] In the notes for 541-Buell Sacket we read: "When but 16 years of age he enlisted in the 5th Continental Regiment, which at the time was encamped at New Windsor, about two miles distant from General Washington's Headquarters, at Newburgh, NY. This regiment subsequently served on both sides of the Hudson and was on duty at West Point when Major Andre was executed. After the close of the war Mr. Sackett became a resident of New Lebanon, NY." [Weygant, pgs. 148-149] Although Buell Sacket was the one who received the 59 acres in Goshen, CT from his grandfather it appears that he remained in New Lebanon, NY. It is possible that Aaron went to Goshen following the land transfer [possibly may 30, 1786] and married Phebe Hart there in July 1786. Last year I corresponded with Brian Sackett who is convinced that 544-Aaron Sacket is the one who married Phebe Hart. Brian sent me a picture of the house of 12721-Charles Sackett, son of 714-Aaron Sackett. This picture is also in the book by Andrew P. Sackett; "Ancestors and Descendants of Frederick Plummer Sackett", page 63. In this picture there is a sign on the corner of the house, up near the eve which reads "C. SACKET" which Brian believes to be an indication that his father Aaron also used that spelling. Of course the SACKET spelling was used by the descendants of John Sacket of Westfield rather than by the family of 75-Richard Sackett of Dutchess Co., NY. So then, in the absence of a son of 75-Richard who had, or could have had a son named Aaron; I am now inclined to believe that Weygant's 714-Aaron Sackett did not exist and that the Aaron Sacket who married Phebe Hart was 544-Aaron Sacket, son of 174-Benjamin Sacket and Deborah Buell. Comments welcome. Thurmon King TSFA Historian

Justus is my (one of many) 5th G Grandpapa. Bellevue, Eaton Co MI, in 1858 moved my 3rd G Grandpapa George W STURDEVANT and Phelena Philinda CHERBINO (Charbonneau) both born in Addison Co VT .. George, in Weybridge. They were in French Creek, Crawford Co PA in 1852. Do you think that they could have communicated with each other, prospecting a new place to live? Or is it just coincidence? Caroline Sackett HOWE Upham moved first to Burr Oak, St Joseph Co, MI and then to Hamlin, Eaton Co MI Abt 6 miles from Bellevue .. on the same road. Missing spouses surnames for Joseph and Chauncey ... I will look into some of the Weybridge lines and see IF I can find some more facts that could lead you to the surnames of the mentioned .. Interesting Stuff huh? Thanks to all that have replied ..

CHR is the abbreviation used for Christening and BRN is the abbreviation used for Birth. The letter S indicates son and the D indicates daughter. The spelling of the name Sacket is noted in the index of the film as the standard form used for spelling either Sacket or Sackett. I have used the exact spelling found on the micro-film with the exception that I did not use capital letters throughout as was done on the film. The serial numbers are a mystery but may make sense to some one else. Please excuse the typing as that is something I do not do well. My main interest here is Aaron Sacket the son of Benjamin Sacket and Dorothy Buell as they are my ancestors. I have also photocopied some 50 or 60 pages of birth, death and marriage records for the state of Connecticut from micro-film and these records include the marriage of Aaron Sacket mentioned above to Phebe Hart and the births of most of their children. I simply do not have the time to transcribe these records at this time and as with most photocopies done with microfilm scanners I doubt the quality would endure further copying and still be legible.

    1. When Progress takes us backward
    2. Thurmon E King
    3. Researching family history can give us moments of great satisfaction as we find new sources which break down "brick walls" and take us even farther back in time. But there are times when the new sources take us in reverse; cutting off some of our carefully constructed "roots." Last year my King ancestry which my sisters had extended back to William the Conqueror was cut off when land and court records in Virginia proved that our gggg-grandfather had different parents from what had been believed. Now we have a "brick wall" at out 6th great-grandfather in the late 1600s. Some on the SACKETT-L have experienced the same disconcerting experience in the past few months as questions were raised concerning the family of #75-Richard Sackett and Margery L. Sleade. The primary question was whether or not Richard had a son named "Josiah Crego Sackett." On page 59 of his book Weygant includes what we believed to be a transcription of Richard's will in which he mentions his "son Josiah Crego." We were advised by Roy Crego that Weygant's account of the will is an abstraction and that the text of the complete will leads to an entirely different conclusion. After much discussion on the SACKETT-L, Liesa Robarge obtained a transcription of Richard's will. And, indeed, the complete will, which consistantly lists his sons as Richard Sacket and John Sacket, indicates that "my welbeloved son Josiah Crego" was probably his step-son from a previous marriage of Richard's wife Margery. This discovery destroyed my theory that #714-Aaron Sackett, m. Phebe Hart was #728-the un-named son of #271-Josiah Crego Sackett. But even more seriously, it resulted in removing #271-Josiah Crego Sackett as the father of; 725-Nelly, 726-Prime, 728-Prince, and 729-Skene Douglas Sackett. So then, as is the case in science: when one question is answered ... new questions arise out of the answer. Regards, Thurmon King TSFA Historian

    3. Blanche: I had been going through the shock of discovering that Capt. Richard Sackett did not have a son named Josiah Crego Sackett; then I discover that The New England Genealogical Register does not appear to have a record of Richard's birth. The descendants of John Sackett (m. Agnes Tinkham) as presented in the "Families of Ancient New Haven" indicates that they found no documentation in the New Haven Vital Records to support the existence of more than two children for #18-Jonathan Sackett. Ruth and Sarah. How many more surprises are we going to find ??? -- Thurmon Accurate Information Is Our Goal. On Fri, 16 Apr 2004 17:41:45 -0400 Harry McKay <bhmckay5743@juno.com> writes: Thurmon, You have certainly presented us with a dilemma on Jonathan and Richard Sackett. I have looked over what I have but none of it answers your question. I guess we have taken Weygant's book too much for granted. But, he had to have had the information from somewhere about a Jonathan being the father of Richard. The only theory I have is that a generation was skipped in the New Haven records. It is not uncommon for a 62 year old man (Jonathan) to marry a 29 year old woman (Ruth), but it does make me wonder, as you wrote, if he was married before to a Hannah and had the first children or his son, Jonathan, married Ruth. As far as I know, there is no record of a marriage to Hannah or a record of their children's births. I did find on the Internet the marriage of a Sarah Sackett to Elisha Booth, but there was no date or other info given. On another website, I found the marriage of Ruth Sackett to Matthew Gilbert on 27 Apr.1738 in New Haven, CT. These are the two you listed as daughters of Jonathan Sackett and Ruth Hotchkiss. There are no children listed for Ruth and Matthew. We'll just have to keep searching and hope we can come up with some valid answers. Blanche McKay

    3. David: I think that maybe we have confused you (:>) We are talking about a Jonathan Sackett who lived in New Haven, CT. The Jonathan Sackett you have lived in Hebron, Tolland Co., and Warren,Kent Co., CT. It would have helped us it our ancestors wouldn't have named so many of their kids with the same names !!!

    3. Thurman, Blanche and others, I can't tell you where I found the information but here is what I have. William Sackett m. Hannah Graves November 27, 1689. Their son Jonathan Sackett born March 20, 1695/96 married Ann Filer January 23,1724/25. Their son Jonathan Sackett born December 26, 1727 married Hannah Phelps November 10, 1748 At Hebron, Tolland, CT. Children of Jonathan Sackett and Hannah Phelps, Hannah 9-22-1749 Anna 10-02-1751 William A. 11-16-1753 Hulda 1755 Aaron 1758 Rebecca 11-18-1760 Chloe 3-15-1762 Irene 1764 Phene 1764 Filer 4-10-1766 Jesse 1769 Almeron no date. This will probably just confuse the problem even more since I can not tell you where I found the information.
