Louella: According to Weygant, 1505-Clark Sacket had three marriages 1) Cynthia Preston m. 2 May 1816; 2) Laura M. Akin m. Aft 4 Jun 1816 [Death date for Cynthia]; 3) Jane M. Pierce. I guess what we need are some marriage dates for Clark's three marriages. You say that Jane's surname was Minor ... Sooo, could it be that the Pierce "kids" in Clark's household in 1850 were Jane's children by a previous marriage? If they were her children, she would have been about 18 when she married Pierce. The youngest Sackett child in the household, Darius age 8 and the Pierce twins age 10 could indicate that Clark's 2nd wife died around 1842, or shortly thereafter; and that the father of the Pierce twins had died around 1840, or shortly thereafter. The 1860 census Talmadge, Ohio, page 323B & 324A Sackett, Clark, age 66, born Connecticut, Farmer , Jane, age hard to read but pretty sure 50, born Connecticut , Elanor, age 23, born Ohio , Maria, age 17 " , Sarah, age 15, " , Marian(Fe), age 10," , John, age 1, " This makes me wonder who the mother of little 1 year old John is; Jane would have been 49 when he was born. But Marian, 10 female, could be the daughter of Jane and Clark I love trying to sort these things out.

Louella: Thank you for the information. I believe Clark A. in the 1880 census for Tallmadge is 3800-Clark A. son of 1505-Clark Sacket & Laura Akin, son of 665-Benjamin Sacket & Betsey Eldred. I think the reason I didn't find him in my initial search of my database is that I was searching for Sackett with a double "t" instead of a single "t". But it resulted in you sending me some more new information.

If Thurmon doesn't have him in the data base: First, spend $27 + or - for the SS5 from the Social Security Administration. rootsweb.com Social Security death index has the information for getting this. Also the SS number is on his California death certificate. The SS5 gives who Chester says are his parents when he applied for a Social Security number. In the 1920 census of Winters, Chester says his parents were born in the United States.... not helpful! He is listed only with wife Ouida. In the 1930 census of winters, Yolo County, ED #57-17, page 205B, sheet 7B, Monticello Road Chester H. Sackett is age 46, married at age 25, born California, father born Ohio mother born California, Farmer -Fruit Farm Ouida G. Sackett is age 40, married at age 19, born California, parents born California Gibson, Martha L., mother in law, age 64, widow, born California, father born Ohio, mother born Pennsylvania (I have found that occasionally the census taker reversed the birthplaces of the parents so guess flexibility is the order of the day) Someone to look at, a Yolo county probate record perhaps or an obituary?, is Harry E. Sackett age 46, married 3 times, married 2 years to wife Lena, born California, father born New York, mother born Missouri, Farmer Empl.-Fruit farm in the 1910 census of Winters, Yolo co., ED#184, page 223, Monticello Road Also in 1930 census of town of Winters, ED #57-17, page 197A, sheet 9A Harry E. Sackett, age 66, 1st marriage age 23, born California, father born New York, laborer-Farm Lena Sackett, wife, age 51, married at age 31, born Kentucky, parents born Kentucky Harry E. Sackett, son, age 16, born California Buel A. Sackett, son, age 14, born California Don't find Chester in the 1900 or 1910 census indexes. No other Sacket/t in the Yolo County census indexes. If Harry was Chester's dad he would be a young father according to all the ages & dates..18 or 19 years old. In the 1880 census of Vacaville, Solano Co., Calif is a Harry who could be the one in Winters in 1910, He is 17, born California, father Buel R. Sackett, age 47 born New York and Buel's wife Archella age 20. Buel is a farmer and 17 year old Harry, 15 year old Herbert and 11 year old Louis are noted as working on farm. sister Fannie is 13 years old. There father's birthplace is noted as New York and their mother's birthplace as Missouri. Nothing to connect Chester yet but something to shoot for. Harry Edward Sackett, born 13 Jan 1864 in California, mother's surname Williams died Yolo County, California on 14 Oct 1942 at age 78. Louis Sackett, born 2 Oct 1869 in California, mother's surname Williams, died Yolo County, California, 18 Nov 1863, age 94. Frances Dinsmore, born 28 Oct 1867 in California, mother's surname Williams, father's surname Sackett, died 21 Apr 1958 in Solano County, California, age 90. Their obituaries might give family information. Chester's obituary might have his parents listed also. I know Sacramento State Library has the Winter's newspapers as I have gotten an obituary from them..but I went to the library myself and am on the East Coast so can't do it now. The other place to look is the Funeral home that Chester was buried from, it should be listed on the death record and if in Winter's probably not too many funeral homes. Have found all kinds of interesting information from the funeral homes, of course maybe nothing but worth a few postage stamps. Interestingly enough don't find Dorothy with Chester & Ouida in either the 1920 or 1930 census..when was Dorothy born? Did find a Dorothy age 21, daughter of Louis in the Vacaville Solano Co., California 1930 census. Good luck.

While working on the family of Deacon Salmon Sackett and Mercy Matilda Curtis I have run across a problem with the dates for the birth of some of the children. The dates given by Weygant, page 159 and Bronson are the same. But the dates I find in Barbour's Collection in the online databases has the dates for the first six children exactly one year earlier than Weygant and Bronson. Does anyone have anything on this discrepancy? Another problem is that the CT Vital Records do not show the birth of 1519b-Solomon D. Sackett b. 27 Mar 1804. Bronson gives the date of Solomon D.'s marriage to Mary A. Wright and a brief account of his movements and death on pages 109-110: "Salmon Dunham Sackett. He was the 10th child and 6th son, and was 7 years old when he came to Ohio. He was designing to remain on the home farm and continued on it after he was of age. He sold his interest in his Father's homestead to his brother Elezer in 18__. He married Miss Mary Ann, daughter of John J. and Saloma G. Wright, of Tallmadge, Sept 27th 1828." "He purchased a farm in Ruggles, where they commenced house" 110 "keeping. they raised a family of __ children; and in 18__ he sold his farm in Ruggles, and removed to Illinois, where Mrs. Mary Ann Sackett died Feb 16th 1872, aged 66 years.

Injoy your tales of life. I need to write my tales of the next generation for my grandkids. RJ Sackett ----- Original Message ----- From: Thurmon E. King Sent: Saturday, June 21, 2003 23:07 To: SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SACKETT-L] Tales from my childhood Old Red the Mule After we returned from Mt. Pleasant, TX where we picked up Mother and the three younger children we moved into the house with Grandma, Grandpa, and my cousin Joyce in a small house with three rooms. A front room, kitchen, and one beedroom. My grandparents and Joyce slept in the bedroom and the seven in our family slept in the front room using two double beds end to end along one wall and two "trundle beds" which slid under the double beds during the daytime. A brief explaination about my cousin Joyce. She is 10 months younger than me and was the youngest daughter of my father's older sister. When Joyce was 5 months old her mother died from a ruptured appendix leaving Uncle Hiram with six children to take care of. My grandparents took Joyce to keep until her father could take care of her. By the time she was old enough to go to live with her father they were so attached to one another that Uncle Hiram decided to leave her with them. Although there were times that relationships were somewhat strained, we got along quite well with eleven people from two households living in a three room house. As I look back on it now, I marvel at how well Mother and Grandma got along when faced with all that was involved in keeping an orderly household under those conditions. We lived in the house with my grandparents through the winter of 1938-1939. Donal and I had missed the first half of the school year, so Dad kept us out of school for the rest of that school year and had us help him cut wood and fence posts. He also bought a red mule to work the 40 acres he had rented just north of the house where our grandparents lived. We learned early that Old Red had a penchant for being a "runaway" mule. By this I mean that when he was startled he would take off running and could not be controlled until he decided he wanted to quit running. One of the first instances of him pulling a "runaway" was when he was hooked to the sled with two empty barrels on it to go about 1/4 mile to the nearest well to get water. Donal was driving Old Red and I was riding on the back of the sled. We had gone a short distance down the road when a car came by. Old Red took off running across the borrow ditch up next to the barbed wire fence. I was holding onto the side of the sled and as the sled was pulled alongside a fence post my right hand was torn rather badly as it was caught between the side of the sled and the fence post. Not long after that experience; Mother and my four siblings were all sick with the measles (I came down with measles after they were all over them). While they were sick Dad did some work on the 1929 Dodge and when he had finished the work; he couldn't get the car to start. So he hooked Old Red to the front of the car and told me to get on Old Red and drive him to pull the car. After thd experience with the sled and fence post; you can only imagine the fear I had when Dad told me to do that !! When I protested; Dad simply told me that he wouldn't let Old Red "runaway." So, very reluctantly, I got up on Old Red and we started pulling the car. When the engine started ... Old Red star ... Well, he tried to take off. But Dad simply applied the brakes on the car and all Old Red could do was TRY to go somewhere !! Another experience I had with Old Red was during the late spring when I was driving him to pull a tilling implement in the field to get rid of some of the weeds in the furrows. So, if you have seen pictures of someone walking behind a horsedrawn plow with the reins knotted together and placed so that one rein is over one shoulder and the other under the arm on the other side of his body. Then you would have a picture of me, almost 9 years old, walking behind a plow driving Old Red. As I was approaching the road on the north side of the field, a friend of the family who owned a motorcycle came driving up and shut off the engine and waited for me to get to the road. After chatting for a few minutes he told me that I had better get Old Red turned around and up to the other end of the row before he started his motorcycle. So, that is what I started to do. But Old Red had other plans. As soon as he started to turn ... He started to run. Realizing that I couldn't stop him I "ducked out" of the reins; i.e. I ducked my head and raised the arm with the rein under it and allowed Old Red to go. And he went !! The plow went about 20 yards before it came loose and Old Red went to the other end of the row and stopped under a scrub oak tree and watched the motorcycle fade into the distance. Old Red died the next year and I wasn't too sad to see him go.

Hi Sackett Searchers: I've run across another possible error in Weygant. It concerns the husband of 269-Catherine Sackett, dau of 75-Richard Sackett. According to information found on John B. Wolcott's website the Thomas Wolcott that Weygant has as spouse of 269-Catherine Sackett, was actually married to Catherine Loomis. He says that the Thomas Wolcott who married a Catherine Sackett was Thomas Wolcott, Jr. In the information given below he gives his arguments for rejecting the identification of 269-Catherine Sackett as the one who married Thomas Wolcott. His belief is that the wife of Thomas Wolcott, Jr. was 722-Catherine Sackett, dau of 268-Dr. John Sackett, M.D. and Elizabeth Maston. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thurmon ---------------- Home Page: http://wolcottfamily.com/ Page with Catherine Sackett: http://wolcottfamily.com/simon.html (4) Lt. Thomas Wolcott, b. 1702 Windsor CT, d. Taghanic NY. He settled at Tolland CT about 1722, fencing and improving part of the 400 acres his father had bought in 1719; in 1729 he sold land left him by his grandfather Allyn, and in 1739 he sold his land at Tolland and moved to Dutchess Co. New York, leased land from Cadwallader Colden in "The Oblong"; in 1749 he engaged in legal dispute over ownership of this land with John Sackett ; m. (1) Catherine Loomis 1725 Tolland Twp. CT, m. (2) Susannah Porter c. 1739 CT, m. (3) Fannie Ducolon c. 1742 Taghanic NY. (5) Thomas Wolcott Jr., b. 1726 Tolland CT, d.c. 1792 Amenia NY. In 1759 and 1760, Thomas Wolcott was elected "pender" of Crum Elbow Precinct, which included Northeast and Amenia townships. In 1760 he purchased property on Wetbutuck Creek in Amenia Township, including a sawmill and dam, and privilege of a grist mill, in 1762 he was appointed Overseer of Highways at the first town meeting of Amenia; his widow and son, Luke, sold the land at Amenia with dwelling and blacksmith shop in 1774; the blacksmith shop was still standing in 1996. Thomas m. Catherine Sackett, sometimes said to be daughter of Richard Sackett. This is in error as she was b. 1702, 24 years before Thomas, and her youngest chils would have been born at age 60. Richard Sackett's will dated 1744 and proved 1746 leaves a bequest to his daughter, Catherine, "during her widowhood". In a court case regarding her father's will she is called Catherine Margeson, which was apparently her married name. Thomas' wife was probably Catherine, b. c.1720, daughter of Catherine's brother, John Sackett.

Hi Sackett Searchers: In the pages of Bronson's "History of Tallmadge, Ohio" [sent to me by Maxine Chapin] there is information which indicates an error on the part of Charles Weygant; "The Sacketts of America"; 1907. In his entry for 1513-Leander Sackett, Weygant has: "1513. Leander Sacket, 1794-18__, son of (656) Salmon Sacket and Matilda Curtis, was married in Sept. 1822, to Rebecca Conant, daughter of Thatcher Conant and his wife Elisabeth, of Windham, Conn. The young couple immediately after their marriage set out from Connecticut on a journey, which they made in a wagon, for the western reserve, and settled at Indian Mission, near what is now the village of Waterville, Lucas County, Ohio, and are said to have been the first missionaries to the Indians in that part of Ohio." [Weygant, p. 250] This indicates that Leander Sackett and Rebecca Conant were married in CT. However, Bronson has different information: "Leander Sackett; this man was the 5th child and 3rd son of Dea Salmon Sackett. He came to Ohio with his father's family in 1811, at this time he was 16 years old, ..." "... Mr. Sackett was married on the 3rd of Jan 1821 to Miss Rebecca Conant of Windham, Portage Co., by Rev. Joseph Treat...." [Bronson, p. 103] This information states that Leander arrived in Tallmadge, OH in 1811 with his father's family and that he married Rebecca Conant who lived in Windham, Portage Co., OH at the time of their marriage. An internet search for the history of Portage Co., OH resulted in finding the following information concernint the Conant family and Rebecca Conant: "WINDHAM - 1811 - 1850 "Nearly one hundred years have passed since a few men decided to leave the Berkshire hills and bring their families into the then unbroken forest of the present Windham township, Portage county. Before leaving, however, the following persons were dismissed from the Congregational Church of Becket and organized into a church by themselves: Deacon Elijah ALFORD and wife, Olive ALFORD, with their daughter, Ruth ALFORD, Thatcher CONANT and wife, Elizabeth CONANT, also their daughter Susannah CONANT, Jeremiah LYMAN and wife, Rhoda LYMAN; Benjamin HIGLEY and wife, Sally HIGLEY, Miss Anna STREATOR." "...his was on May 2, 1811..." "They held their first religious service in their new home on Sunday, July 28, 1811, in one of the first private cabins built in Windham [,OH] ..." "However, they were not entirely without educational advantages, as Miss Elizabeth STREATOR and Miss Rebecca CONANT opened a school in a private house about a month after the first settlers came. For about a year these young ladies gave their services, relieving each other every two weeks. One, Rebecca CONANT, afterwards married and went with her husband among the Indians of Michigan as missionary." I believe that this information shows that Weygant was in error in his account of Leander's marriage. We also have a conflict in the dates given for the marriage. Weygant has Sept. 1822 and Bronson has 3 Jan 1821. Does someone have access to Ohio Marriages which might give the correct date? Thurmon

I think that the person you may be looking for is my uncle. He had two children with a wife in Germany before moving back to the U.S. I might see him tonight. His name is Edward. He had a daughter and son with his wife in Germany (he was in the military) before they divorced.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sackett, McKay Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ChEBAIB/218.1 Message Board Post: Hi there Linda replied to your message on the Sackett List, this is a list of people all researching the Sackett name. These emails go to everyone on the list. All the messages from this message board also go to the list, but the list messages do not go to the board. Anyway Linda recommended even though there is probably some bad feelings between people that you really need to find out you Grandpa's whole name, where, and when he was born to get started. She suggested you start with Grandma if she is still alive. Since Grandma's don't live forever and some won't talk about things they don't like, another thing you do to start getting this information is start with what you know about your parent and Grandma. Can you get your hands on your parent’s birth certificate? It should have Grandpa's name on it. Might information like how old he is and things like that. If you know her name and it sounds like you do. Do you know where she lived her whole life? Was it the same place or did she move around? If she stayed in the same place it is likely she married in the area also. If you can prove you are her granddaughter (your parents and your birth certificates should do it). You can get copies of the marriage certificate; some of them list places of birth, number of marriages, etc. If you can get his whole name you should be able to right to Veterans Affairs and get some information on his military service. I have not needed to do this on the living but I know it is easier if you have their Service Number, but not impossible without it. If you ever determine he has passed away (and hope not anytime before you meet him) then you can get copies of his records as a direct descendant. They may only confirm he is still alive he is. I have worked some with the National Archives and go a couple of times a year they keep the old military records, and if you need help with it after you find out the war, I can find out where you can get the information. Maybe someone else has tried to do this and can help. Liesa Robarge lrobarge@charter.net

Stacy, is your Grandmother still alive, I hope. I get the feeling that there are probably some bad family feelings towards grandpa Sackett, so it may be tricky. But you need to find out his actual name and where/when he was born to get to a starting point. I hope he is out there somewhere for you Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: <stacya3963@hotmail.com> To: <SACKETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 18, 2003 9:51 PM Subject: [SACKETT-L] Grandpa Sackett > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Sackett > Classification: Lookup > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ChEBAIB/218 > > Message Board Post: > > Dear Readers~ > I am a teenager seeking her grandpa.

Good sleuthing, Tom! This is interesting. I recall there was discussion on Sackett-L a while back about the movements of WB. Can't lay my hands on the posts at the moment, but perhaps Thurmon and others will remember what the conclusions were.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sackett Classification: Lookup Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ChEBAIB/218 Message Board Post: Dear Readers~ I am a teenager seeking her grandpa. I don't know much about him but I do know that he had 2 kids named Catrine and Edward. He might have had more because he left my grandma when my dad, Ed, was very young. I know for a while that he lived in Germany and I know he served for the US in some military. His name I believe was either Edward or Allen. I know I'm not giving much but I don't know much. If you could help me at all I thank you so much. And grandpa, if you're reading thing, I love you, even though I don't know you and I miss you. Thanks a bunch!
