Hello Sackett Searchers: Last January we had a discussion concerning a Bounty Land Warrant #55816 issued to Norman Sackett for service in the War of 1812. The land was claimed in Natchitoches Parish, LA and issued on 28 Jan 1913 with the Patentees listed as Thomas Hunter and Sarah Sackett. In the discussion we wondered whether or not this was the same Norman Sackett as Weygant's 1516-Norman Sackett (1789-1834) who married Sarah Weston in 1833; and whether or not Sarah would have been still alive in 1913. Information supplied by Donn Cutler led to contact with Maxine Chapin who supplied me with copies of the pages relating to the family of 656-Deacon Salmon Sackett as recorded in Bronson's "History of Tallmadge, Ohio". The pages relating to Norman say that "Mr. Sackett, made an exchange of his farm in Portage Township and for part pay he took land in Western Illinois, which was given by the U. S. Government, as bounty to the soldiers of the War of 1812. He went west to see his purchase in Illinois, and returned, he was immediately taken sick, ... He went to Mr. Weston's, his third wife's father, where he breathed his last on the 16th day of Aug 1834 aged 45 years." At first glance this would appear to say that in 1834 Norman used a Bounty Land Warrant issued to him. But it says that he sold his farm and took a Bounty Land Warrant as part payment. In the Military Records that Liesa has copied there is the pension file for Sarah E. Sackett widow of Norman Sackett. In addition to her pension she applied in 1878 for a Bounty Land Warrant for her husband's service in the War of 1812 and was granted BLW #55816. In her original application it appears that she signed her name as Sarah Sackett and the application was returned because there was no middle name or initial. In the response she gave her full name as Sarah Elixa Sackett and stated that she normally signed her name as Sarah E. Sackett and had no explaination as to why she had omitted the middle initail in the application. There is also the record of her death: "U. S. Pension Agency; Columbus, O Feb. 1, 1883 Hon. W. W. Dudley Commissioner of Pensions Sir: I hereby report that the name of Sarah E. Sackett widow of Norman [large stamp "1812"] who was a pensioner on the rolls of this agency under certificate No. 10118 and who was last paid at $8 to Mch 4, 1882 has been dropped because of information received that she died Mch 24th 1882 Very Respectfully A. T. Wikoff" ------ >From the number, BLW #55816, we see that it was indeed the BLW granted to Sarah E. Sackett in 1878 that was exercised by Thomas Hunter in 1913. Sarah died 24 Mar 1882 so she reassigned the BLW either before her death, or through her estate. That would explain why she is listed in the BLM record as a co-Patentee with Thomas Hunter in 1913. The question now would be; was Thomas Hunter was related by marriage to Sarah E. [Weston] Sackett, or did he buy the BLW from her?

Blanche, Many thanks for posting the New Milford VRs from the Barbour Collection (your message 24 Nov - yes, I'm miles behind with my emails!). Margery Sackett & Mary Sackett marriages Could you please confirm that the marriages of Margery Sackett = David Green and Mary Sackett = Israel Canfield were actually in New Milford and that the data came from the Barbour Collection. I wasn't quite sure of this from the context of your message. From their marriage dates, 1759 and 1758, it is clear that these two daughters of 267 Richard Sackett must have been born in Dover, Dutchess County, before the family moved to New Milford in 1746. I take your point about Richard being a rather old father - about 50 when the twins Elisabeth and Catherine were born - but he would have been in his late thirties at the births of Margery and Mary, which seems reasonable. There looks to be a gap in the births between Margery and Mary born in Dover and the rest of his children born in New Milford. This makes me wonder whether Richard could have been married twice, the first wife dying in Dover before he removed to New Milford. Just a thought! Rebecka Sackett marriage The marriage you found in the Barbour Collection for Rebecka Sackett = Salmon CARRINGTON, 6 Nov 1771, is, as you suggest, that of 627 Rebecca who Weygant records as marrying M S CLARENTON. This marriage also appears in the Westfield, MA, VRs (researched by Ted Mudge), ref. B13, 6 Nov 1771, Rebecca Sacket & Salmon CLORVENTON. I had assumed from that record that the marriage took place in Westfield. Does the record you found make it clear whether the marriage took place in Westfield or in New Milford? Best regards, Chris

Sorry that would be me that was going to look into this and I will get on it today. The holiday's, school and reunion preperations kind of got in the way and I forgot (ops). I will see what we need to do and have it taken care of today. I remember his will was in several places and at home I know I have that email but if anyone remembers where the one we wanted was at that would help since I can start searching during down time at work. If not I will get it when I get home. Thanks Liesa On Wed, 31 Dec 2003 07:58:33 -0800 Thurmon E King <thurmonking@juno.com> wrote: >Chris & All; > >I don't recall us coming to a firm conclusion.

Chris & All; I don't recall us coming to a firm conclusion. I understood that we were waiting to see if someone could come up with a copy, or transcription of Richard Sackett's will and possibly some of the probate records for Richard's estate. I believe that the probate records would be the most likely source for determining where Josiah Crego/Josiah Crego Sackett fits in. I have found the title for a source that might help in our quest: "Calendar of New York Colonial Manuscripts; Indorsed Land Papers"; Weed, Parsons & Co; 1864, Albany, NY. For the years leading up to his death, Richard Sackett is mentioned on pgs. 68, 70, 74, 75, 78, 120, 166, and 190.

Thurmon, Blanche, (& other sleuths), Where did we get to with the Crego mystery before Christmas? Did we come to any conclusions? Regards, Chris

Thurmon, Thanks for posting the Hannah Sackett = John Ruggles data. I take it we are assuming that Weygant was misinformed about the name Reynolds and this should have been Ruggles - i.e. there is no suggestion that she married twice. Regards, Chris

Hello Sackett Searchers: Yes, I'm back home after spending Christmas with my 94 year old father-in-law. In the genealogy library at genealogy.com I found what appears to be another error in Weygant's information. For 310-Hannah Sackett he has her husband as John Reynolds (page 66). In "Loyalists of the American Revolution," Volume II, American Loyalists (Laforey-Zubly), Page 246; Ruggles, John. Of Hardwick, Massachusetts. Son of General Timothy Ruggles. In 1778 he was proscribed and banished. He settled in Nova Scotia, and died there. His widow, Hannah, only daughter of Dr. Thomas Sackett, of New York, died at Wilmot, Nova Scotia, in 1839, aged seventy-six. His only son, Captain Timothy Amherst Ruggles, of the Nova Scotian Fencibles, died at the same place in 1838, at the age of fifty-six. Three daughters were alive in 1839. ------------------------ Page 250 John Ruggles fled from his home at Hardwick (where he had twelve deer in the park of his father's property) to Boston, in April, 1775, and was appointed a lieutenant in one of the companies of the Loyal Associated Volunteers until the evacuation of the town by the British. Subsequently he served as a volunteer in Edward Winslow's corps in Rhode Island. Mentioned in his memorial as witnesses at Annapolis, Nova Scotia, are his wife Hannah Ruggles [daughter of Dr. Thomas Sackett, of New York] and Phebe Sackett [doubtless his niece]. Joseph Ruggles, formerly of Hardwick, and Israel Conkey, of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, are also men- Page 251 tioned. His claim is endorsed rejected, March 6, 1786. (A.O. 13/51; A.O. 12/10, ff. 345-9) He was the son of Timothy Ruggles (q.v.) and died in Nova Scotia, in 1795. (Stark, op. cit., p. 229) The information for the father of John Ruggles is as follows: Brigadier General Timothy Ruggles was Colonel of the first Provincial Regiment of two battalions and commander-in-chief of all troops of Massachusetts throughout the war with France in North America from 1755 to 1765, and took the French General, Dieskau, prisoner. For his services he was granted 1,500 acres of land by the General Court, a gift which was only to be confiscated by the State of Massachusetts at the Revolution.* At the end of this war he was chosen Speaker of the House of Representatives. General Sir Jeffery Amherst wrote of him to Governor Pownall from Crown Point, November 19, 1759, that he had on every occasion during the campaign done everything that he could for the good of the service and that he was "a zealous, diligent, and good man, and I should not do him justice if I did not mention him to you as such." Ruggles was appointed with Otis and two others a representative of Massachusetts at the Stamp Act Congress at New York and distinguished himself by his zeal an fidelity in supporting the dignity of the Crown and the just rights of Parliament. On returning home he was reprimanded byh the House of Representatives for his unfaithful discharge of his duty at this Congress, and in reply he requested leave to publishe his reasons for his conduct, a leave which was at first granted but was afterwards refused. The worthy Ruggles, however, published his reasons at his own expense and risk and he maintains that the puglication quieted people in general, though many of the more violent people remained his political enemies, and visited him with their resentment and persecution. Yet his polularity was still so great that he was re-elected to the House of Assembly. As a reward for his fidelity to the Crown at the Stamp Act Congress he was appointed an Inspector of unclaimed lands in New Hamshire. (A.O. 13/75; A.O. 12/10, ff 76-84, 330-5.) Sir John Wentworth, formerly Governor of New Hampshire, afterwards Governor of Nova Scotia, in evidence in support of the claim of General Ruggles, stated that he was appointed Deputy Suveryor of Woods in 1771 and that his acceptance of the nomination of Mandamus Councillor rendered him obnozious. He was the means of more persons remaining loyal in Massachusetts than any other man. The King's American Dragoons were raised principally by his influence, though the command was given to Benjamin Thompson (q.v.). (A.O. 12/10, ff. 76-84, 330-5) Colonel Thomas Gilvert (q.v.), who had known him for about forty years, stated in an affidavit that this loyalist was noted in the province *An account of the potash farm given to Ruggles in 1764 is in Mr. Blake's "History of Princeton, Mass., pp. 46-59 Page 252 for his particular attention to improving his stock of horses, sparing neither pains nor expense in procuring the best sires, both English and foreigh, and English mares, by which means his stock had justly acquired the highest reputation of any stud in Massachusetts. He left more than 30 horses and choice mares. One of his best stallions was poisoned by the rebels. (A.O. 13/75) With his memorial and a schedule of his losses is a copy of Thomas's "Massachusetts Spy, Or, American Oracle of Liberty," containing a notice of the sale of Timotyh Ruggles's fine horses (about 20), 30 head of cattle and sheep and swine, by public vendue, by order of the selectmen and Committee of Correspoondence of Hardwick, at the house of Colonel Jonathan Warner,* innholder, Hardwick, on January 16, 1776. 9A.O. 13/75) General Ruggles, in a letter, dated from Boston, April 18, 1775, to a friend in England (perhaps Israel Mauduit), relating to his proposal to raise a regiment of 1,500 men to quell the rebellion, says "my heart leaps for joy to find the reception given by their Lordships to my proposals, and if those made to the Governor [Gage] are not acceptable, I hope he will alter them to his mind, as I have the most cordial inclination to contribute every thing in my power to convince these rebellious wretches of their folly and wickedness in despising the best Government both in Theory and administration that ever yet blest the earth we inhabit, and if it causes me as many wearisome days and Sleepness nights as five Campaigns did in the last War, I pray God my constitution may endure it, and my Country will be happy if Success attends his Majesty's Arms, if not many of us will lose our lives and be put out of our present miserable situation I am happy in finding all my best Officers now living, and that served with me last War, are zealously affected for this service; by which means I expect soon to recruit the Regiment after the General's proclamation is Issued for severing the Loyalists from the Rebels." "As there are several Vacancys in the Council here I could most heartily wish that the filling them, Smugglers might be avoided; as I am strongly apprehensive that many of our troubles have heretofore arisen from that source." (C.O. 5/154, f. 63#.) A copy of his proposals for raising a regiment of Light Dragoons is the Carleton Correspondence, folio 455. This loyalist was allowed compensation, #4,994, from his claim of #19,501 14s. and a pension od #150 until his death (A.O. 12/109; T. 50/8; A.O. 461/15.) In one of his memorials he declares that he was driven at the age of 75 into his fourth banishment, this time from New York to Nova Scotia in 1783. (A.O. 13/75.) A long inventory of his property includes a quantity of silver plate and a silver-mounted sword, his "old friend," and three of the best pews in the Meeting House at Hardwick. *Colonel in the alarm of April 19, 1775. Commissionede Brigadier, February 13, 1776. ("Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War.") Page 253 He was one of the "rescinders: (see page 58). Timothy Ruggles was born in 1711 and graduated at Harvard College in 1732. He commenced practice as a lawyer, first at Rochester, and at Sandwich in 1740, finally selling at Hardwick in 1753. He died in 1795 at Wilmot, Nova Scotia, where he was buried in the Church which he helped to erect by his contributions. His wife died in 1787 at the home of her eldest son at Hardwick. His eldest son, Timothy was also a loyalist, but was allowed by the General Court to remain on a part of the Ruggles estate at Hardwick. After his father's death he settled in Nova Scotia. His sons, John and Richard, were loyalists, and died in Nova Scotia. He was selected as Captain in command of a company of volunteers for an expedition to the Spanish West Indies; their services not being required, the company was dismissed. (Muster Rolls Series.)

If you have any questions PLEASE EMAIL ME at SackettReunion@charter.net We will be meeting in Salt Lake City with the "Official" Family Gathering to be on Sunday Dec 12th from 1:00 PM until... From the responses that I received I had them reserve 30 rooms and the rate for next year is $55 a night. We have only blocked off rooms for the nights of the September 11-13 but if you want to come earlier or stay later they are willing to give us the same rate for 3 days before or the week after these dates. Warning though if you are THINKING about staying the whole week make your reservations NOW (you can always change your dates later) since they have something going on the weekend after we will be there and they are expecting people to start arriving during the week. Reservations may be made at Jill B. Poulsen Holiday Inn, Salt Lake City-Downtown 999 S. Main Street Salt Lake City, UT 84111 (801) 359-8600 telephone (801) 364-4915 fax www.saltlakeholidayinn.com This hotel is about 9 long blocks from the Family History Library. There are some closer, but they did not have the number of rooms we needed due to other events, BUT you might be able to get a room at one of these hotels if you book it now. The Best Western had a few rooms, and I know there is also a Sheraton close by.

Thurmon, We have some material on the families of the children of Nathaniel and Margaret Lazier Sackett, mostly in the form of photographs with some of their names, but I have not come across anything on son Richard. While on the subject of this family, our old copy of the Sacketts book has a few corrections written in long ago by my family. One is for the name of the wife of Nathaniel's brother Benjamin (#767). According to our notes, Benjamin's wife was Catherine Lazier (sister of Nathaniel's wife Margaret??) and their son John H. Sackett (#1907) married Augusta Jones, on Feb. 3, 1858. (Weygant mistakenly has John married to Catherine.) We have a letter to one of my gt-gt-aunts referring to the fact that she was staying with " Augusta and John" and the 1880 Census has John H. Sackett married to Augusta J. Sackett, with a nephew John Jones living with them in Elmira, NY. There is a record of Margaret Sackett administering the estate of Nathaniel, in Yates in the year following his death, I believe. She may have later returned to the area around Newburgh, NY. Best regards, Barbara Bell

Well, since my hard drive failure I have been going through my recovered data and files I had saved to CDs before the failure and in the process I found a message that was sent to Nancy and she posted it to the SACKETT-L on Mon, 29 Nov 1999. The message was sent to Nancy by Linda Howorth of Grand Rapids, MI. Linda gave her Sackett line from Simon Sackett, Jr. down through; 766-Rev. Nathaniel Sackett m. Margaret Lazier and their son, 1904-Richard Sackett b. 28 Jul 1825. Linda shows this Richard Sackett as being married to a woman named Lydia and having a son, Richard Jefferson Sackett who later moved to MI. After I found this message I discovered that I had entered Linda's information in my database but had not attached her Richard Sackett to 766-Rev. Nathaniel so it appears that I had some question about the relationship at that time. According to information Barbara Bell sent, 766-Rev. Nathaniel Sackett was in the process of moving his family from Cornwall, Orange Co., NY to MI in 1834 and the family was wintering over in Benton, Yates Co., NY when the Rev. became ill and after about four weeks he died on 8 Nov 1834. So this family was in Yates county in 1834 and it appears that some of the family remained in the county for a while. But the information I have found for the family of Thomas J. Sackett seems to indicate that Richard J. Sackett was his grandson rather than the grandson of 766-Rev. Nathaniel Sackett. Anyone have any ideas? Thurmon

Bette, I had given that some thought. Weygant has his wife as Eliza Strang. This and other area cemeteries abound with Strangs. It's a good possibility.
