Mary Jo: According to the information I have Erastus Sacket was a son of Rolin Sackett and Lovina Edson of Crawford Co., PA. His information is located at: http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~teking/simon/pafg40.htm#11244 Most of the information I have for him came from Ted Mudge [email address below], one of our Sackett researchers. I hope this helps some in your search. And if you have additional information for him or his family we would appreciate having it to add to our Sacketts of America database. If you should happen to have headstone pictures we would love to have copies to add to our Sackett Headstones website.

Well the one answer I can tell you is that slaves were property and usually in the will some way or another. I saw one that not only allowed the slave to choose who to live with but gave them the right to switch owners if misused. When I have seen them named and allowed to choose it seems to indicate that they were well liked and possibly well taken care of. It is hard to say since we did not live back then, but it tends to show they thought of them as more then the horse or the slave since they named them. I think the word Blanch is having trouble with is further along in the sentence though. It says Disallow all and xxxxx other will and testament etc...I think it looks like evon but that is not a word and I cannot think of anything even close to it.

Liesa, Thank you for making available the will of Richard Sackett on your website. I agree with Chris that the Josiah Crego of the will was most likely his stepson. Notice, Richard only called his wife, Josiah Crego, and son's Richard and John as wel-beloved. I find that strange that his remaining daughter was not designated as wel-beloved even though he was providing for her. Chris, I may be wrong, but I think the name for the probable maid servant is Hagar, not Hagas. Were servants or slaves names not capitalized in those days? There is one word I cannot make out clearly. It is on page 3 up 5 spaces from the bottom of the page. It is the first word in that line. Is it "hereby disallow and revoke"? For those of you who may not know what the word messuages means (page 3), it was a dwelling house usually including the dwelling and any adjacent buildings and grounds. Tenements were anything of permanent value that might be held such as land, inheritances, rents and profits. Sorry I have been so inactive lately. After quite a time with my back, I recently had surgery and am on the road to recovery. Hope to contribute more soon. Blanche McKay

Liesa (& other Crego sleuths), Many thanks for researching and posting Richard Sackett's will. Now that we have the full will, I think it a safe bet that Josiah Crego would have been Richard's stepson and not his natural son. This accords with the conclusion reached by Roy Crego and John Wolcott. It is of course at variance with Weygant's conclusion and scuppers the consequent conclusion that a Josiah Crego Sackett was the father of Skene Douglas Sackett (and Nelly, Prime and Prince). It seems clear that Weygant had sight of an abstract of Richard's will but did not see the full document. The abstract referred in some places to the beneficiaries using their first names only - wife Margery, son Josiah Crego, daughter Catherine, sons Richard and John. Weygant accordingly assumed that "Josiah" and "Crego" were first names in the same manner as Margery, Catherine, Richard and John obviously were. However, in the full will it is seen that all references to names used full names - wife Margery Sacket, son John Sacket, eldest son Richard Sacket, son Josiah Crego, daughter Mary Dean deceased, daughter Catherine (Margeson). There are repeated references to all the beneficiaries, who at every mention are referred to by their full names, one exception being a reference to "my daughter Catherine" which is anyway expanded to "Catherine Margeson" later in the same sentence. In the context of all other names in the will being full names it becomes clear that Josiah Crego was also a full name. There was thus no Josiah Crego Sackett. A further item of evidence would appear to be the reference in the penultimate paragraph (the signature paragraph) to "my two sons" - surely meaning Richard and John. This reference to two sons is clearly in contradiction to the earlier references in the will to son Josiah Crego, son Richard, and son John. But it would support the assumption that two of the sons (Richard and John) were "different" from the other son (Josiah Crego). I believe in times past people did refer to family members in ways we would not regard as strictly accurate - brother for brother-in-law, cousin for just about any kin even if only by marriage - so son for stepson is perfectly understandable, especially if the relationship was close and affectionate. I have certainly seen son used for son-in-law. There is a further intriguing item in this same penultimate paragraph where it says that ***** (somebody) will have the choice of which son to live with. The word ***** looks like "hagas" to me and the full wording is - "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and Seal the day and date before mentioned and after my Decease and my wife's Decease hagas shall have the liberty to chuse which of my two sons she will live with." The only explanation I can think of would be that "hagas" was a female slave. Anybody got a different take on "hagas"? Last point Liesa - do you have details of the source of this document. I note that it is not the original, but a transcript.

Hi! Over this week end, we have a couple new subscribers to SACKETT-L. Instead of writing them individually, I thought I'd post a message about TSFA (The Sackett Family Association) and invite anyone on this list who is not already a member to join the 80 members currently in TSFA. During the months from April through September 2003, a steering group of members of the SACKETT-L Mailing List formed an association named The Sackett Family Association (TSFA). The objectives of the Association are: a ) To research all historical and genealogical records worldwide relating to the Sackett family and their descendants b) To publish and otherwise share research findings amongst the membership c) To preserve Sackett data for posterity. In furtherance of the above objectives the Association shall: a) Provide a forum for individuals engaged in Sackett research. In particular the Association shall maintain a Sackett Family web site (under construction) and an e-mail Discussion List (SACKETT-L). b) Maintain and publish a <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sidersn/sackett/tsfamembership .htm> Register of Members. In addition, TSFA will publish quarterly newsletters, the first one was published <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sidersn/sackett/octobernewslet ter2003.pdf> October, 2003. Future newsletters will only be distributed to TSFA members. However, they are still accessible on SACKETT-L's web page. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to be able to view the newsletters. If you do not have this reader, you may download it free from the following URL: <http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html> http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html A Sackett Family Gathering is planned in September!!

Just thought I would post this information to the list. (I hesitate to call them "black sheep" (c:--perhaps it is wiser to say they're just relatives who experienced an unfortunate incarceration?) I came across these entries in an online database on the Connecticut State Library website (http://www.cslib.org/wethers.asp). It has warrants of commitment for prisoners held at Wethersfield State Prison between 1800 and 1903. Is anyone researching these Sacketts?

>Thank you Therman, Yes it does help a lot. I understand what I am looking at a lot better. I appreciate your taking time to tell me these things. Pauline

Pauline: In earlier days when communication was much slower, a church member who was moving to another area would be given a letter of recommendation to take along to present to a church in the new location. This facilitated transferring membership from one church to another and eliminated any questions about the member's baptism & etc. This was/is usually done between churches of like faith and practice. I have noticed in some of the Quaker records that they dismissed members with a letter to a specific Meeting. In recent years the practice has changed a little bit. Most of the churches will no longer give the letter to an individual but will wait for the member's new church to write for the "letter." And some churches today will simply write to the member's previous church and inform them that the member has joined them and advise the previous church that they can drop the member from their rolls. You will also see some church records indicating that a member was "dismissed with a letter." I hope this helps some.

Pauline: You are partially correct. Some churches baptize infants and call it baptism. Some churches have a sevice didicating the infant. Others have a service and call it christening. Without getting into a theological discussion but in an effort to assist those doing family research I believe it is helpful to understand some of the different beliefs concerning baptism. For example; The Methodist church baptizes infants, then have confirmation classes and then a confirmation service where the young person confirms that he, or she, is now a believer; but Baptist churches do not baptize infants because they believe one should be a believer before baptism. There are arguments based upon the Bible used by both sides. I say this as a retired Baptist pastor who has a daughter who is a Methodist pastor. A Methodist who had been baptized as an infant wishing to join a Baptist church would, in most Baptist churches, be required to make a profession of faith and be baptized [probably by immersion] before being accepted as a member. [Note: I have known of Baptist churches that would not accept a person transferring membership from another Baptist church without being baptized in their church.] So, in the instance of Sophia, if she was baptized as an infant in a Methodist or Episcopal church and later joined a Baptist church. She would have been required to be baptized before she could have become a member. Therefore, there could be two baptism records for her several years apart.

Thank you Therman, you are right on that one.

Pauline: Concerning the baptism date of Sophia; she could have been baptized in 1818 in a church that baptizes infants. And if she joined a church in 1845 that did not recognize infant baptism she could have been baptized at that time.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sackett, Crane, McHenry, Gerard Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ChEBAIB/228 Message Board Post: I'm looking for information on the marriage of John J. Sackett, born in New York about 1835-1840. He married Rebecca Jane Crane, the widow of Elias Crane, between 1865-1870, probably in Indiana. I have found John and his second wife Emma J on the 1884 Census for Reynolds Twp, Montcalm Co, Michigan. Children listed on the 1884 Census are May A, age 15 born Indiana, Emma age 13 born Michigan and Benjamin age 1, born Michigan. Rebecca's children with husband Elias Crane, were Margaret F, born 1856, James A, born 1859 and Elizabeth A.(Libby--my great grandmother), born 1861. We think that step-mother Emma J. probably raised the Crane children along with the Sacketts as her name is listed on my great grandmother's death certificate as being her mother.
