Arabella; Its been a while since we heard from you. After your earlier posts concerning the Sacketts coming to America on the Mayflower, we have done some more checking into the matter. If one is talking about THE Mayflower which came over in 1620; we can say that Simon Sackett did not come over on that voyage. That voyage was connected to the Plymouth Colony while Simon Sackett came over in connection with the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. The plaque in Old Newtowne in Cambridge, MA names a Sackett [Simon] as one of those who first built there by July 26, 1631. The prevalent belief has been that Simon Sackett and his wife came over on the ship Lyon leaving England in Dec. 1630 and arriving in America in Feb. 1631. Now, if there was a ship named Mayflower that made a voyage to America in connection with the Massachusetts Bay Colony in late 1630 or early 1631; then Simon Sackett could possibly have been one of the passengers.

Me Again, There is a site with Vicki's artwork and there are two lovely watercolor renditions of the church but she wants between 69 and 89 pounds plus for them. More than I want to pay.

Patty: I was wondering why no one mentioned that I posted several pictures of the church and some of the surrounding area on my first website. However, I discovered today that I have removed the link to the pictures. I'll have to get them linked again. These were supplied by Dr. Don Emmel. The picturs can be viewed at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~teking/sackett_docs/thanet_pics/ thanet.html If the URL word wraps be sure to get all of it to "thanet.html" The larger images may have enough detail to be enlarged.

I have a framed picture that I bought from The Francis Firth Collection. You can go to their site and see a great selection of photos taken around Britian from 1860 - 1970. Web address is www.francisfirth.co.uk , email is sales@francisfirth.co.uk . They sell unframed pictures as well. The church is little changed today, the trees are much bigger as I remember. I also remember it being difficult to get a clear shot of the whole church. Tom

Hi list, It would really be nice if there was a drawing/painting/color photo, suitable for framing of St Peter the Apostle Church at Thanet the home church of the Sacketts. Does anyone have such an item? Patty B

Thurmon, I've been looking at some wills online on the Cornell University Website. They are abstracts of Wills filed at the Surrogate's Office, City of New York, as you probably know. I've seen it mentioned on the list before. These may be something that someone has looked at before but I'll post them in case they haven't. Weygant lists two children for #90, John Sackett and wife Phebe Burling, John and Justus. Listed in the will of Phebe's mother, Elizabeth Burling dated July 19, 1779, proved April 2, 1784,is the following; "I leave to my daughter, Phebe Sacket, my son Benjamin, and my daughter Martha Langdon, 100 pounds each. Unto my grandaughter, Phebe Sacket, 30 pounds. Unto my five grandchildren, Sarah and Elizabeth Sackett, Mary, Elizabeth, and Abigail Martin, all my household furniture." The will goes on to list all her children and none are married to another Sackett so it would seem there are three girls to add to the family of John and Phebe Sackett; Phebe, Sarah, and Elizabeth. Also; Weygant lists the death date for # 94, Samuel Sackett as September 29, 1780, on page 33. At the end of his will, in [ ] is a note stating that[Note. - Mr. Samuel Sackett died at Jamaica, Sept. 30, 1780]. I know this is only one day in a bigger picture but Samuel may have thought it was important. As I said, you may have this stuff already. Regards, Tom Smith

Hello Sackett Searchers: I've added a search engine from PicoSearch to the home page of the site. I've uploaded updates to the descendants of Simon Sackett, colonist and John Sackett, colonist. For Simon Sackett's descendants there is added information 1.) For the descendants of Laura B. Sackett (dau of #583-Rolin Sackett) and Martin L. Chase which was provided by Dianne Cobb. 2..) For the descendants of #614-Electa Sackett and Reuben Ensign taken from Timothy Hopkins, "The Kelloggs in the Old World and the New Vol I" 3.) For descendants of #756-Isaac Anson Sackett from William M. Sackett For John Sackett's descendants, the major addition is for the descendants of Sarah Sackett (dau of #5-John Sackett0 and Samuel Alling which was extracted, with his permission, from Walter Gilbert's web site. Although I have all of the relevant information from his site in my database the information he has for living individuals is not included in the material uploaded to the TSFA web site. Since the last update the Sackett database I maintain has grown from 21,690 individuals to the present 22,065 individuals with 16,119 general notes. There are 7800 marriages. Warm Regards, Thurmon

Thurmon, I took a look but did not have much time so did not get the whole record. I will get the rest of it when I come back the first week in March. What I can tell you is that there were three variations of his name. One was with only the names Skene and Douglas, the other two spellings I remember used all three names but I did not think to look at the differences. I originally thought I would only get a couple of pages do I did not make a copy of the front page with that information. I will get it when I get the rest of the record. I do have several of the pages and will try and get them to this weekend but make no promises. It might be after I get back in a week. I remember it did not indicate that the differences in the name were an alias or a substitution on the front page but there were several pages to his pension request so it is possible there will be something in the documentation that explains the differences in the names. Most of the time I have seen that they had to explain the difference. It actually looked like it was widows request but I am not sure about that. Anyway that is all I have for now on that. I have a couple more that I will try and ask some questions on before I leave. I left the stuff in my care though so it will be another email.

All, Articles about Amenia, NY have been received, scanned and published on the web at: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~sidersn/sackett/ameniany.htm I added the link to the 1967 article as well. The newsprint was pretty light so if you have difficulty reading the articles, increase your browser to full screen. Another idea is to save the jpg files and bring them into an application like the free Irfanview. You can increase the size of the file. Sometimes just printing the scanned files enables me to read them better than on the screen. Deb, Do you want me to return the clippings...? Tom, I searched all the archive years for Dover and didn't find your articles. I intended to search for Amenia but never got back to it. Will hopefully remember it later. I also see I have some editing to do on the title page. The Cut and Paste Syndrome got me again. ;) Enjoy!

" Thurmon/Bill, Thanks for the source data. I have recorded this as - "Coroner's report dated 28 Sep 1852 on the Inquest held 11 Feb 1852 at Stamford, Delaware County, New York into the death of Isaac A Sackett on 4 Feb 1852. Original report, held by The County Clerk, Delaware Co., Delhi, New York, is not referenced but the little old lady knows its location in the court house basement.

I was looking at some abstracts of wills for early New York that Cornel University has online in their Historical Literature Section.( I think this collection has been referenced on the list before) In reading the abstract , it referred several times to daughter Potine Sackett. As all the rest of Joseph's children, save Simon, (who ran off with that wench Miss McGaw to New Jersey so was cut off from the family) are mentioned in the abstract. This appears to be the same abstract that is in Weygant, pages 22 & 23, except for this different name and a few other spelling differences. Has anyone knowledge of Patience as Potine. Seems a stretch to say it's an error in transcription since the name is repeated several times. Tom

OK Liesa; Here is another correction: Bill sent me another image. One of the bottom of the page which is missing from the image I have as <isaac_inquest-4.jpg>. It reads: "Dr. Joseph Leal Sloane; I am a Physician & have examined the wound (of the [crossed out]) of on the person of the deceased Isaac" next page A. Sacket, & think it is sufficeint to produce death." Isn't it amazing how a few additional words can blast a "neat theory" out of the water? Also: To answer Chris' question about the source; Bill sent me this: The source of the inquest was The County Clerk, Delaware CO, Delhi, NY I then asked Bill if there is a Book or File number and he responded with: "There was no book or file. After the 3rd time I was bugging the people in the county clerks, they send the "little old lady" out to see me. She asked what are you looking for? when I told her she took me down to the basement of the court house, back to an ill lite corner, went to the right file, pulled the inquest out and said; 'are you sure you want to read this?'
