Chris, The previous posts may have been mine regarding WB being involved in court cases in Hartford when it was thought he resided in Newtown, LI. It would have been a fair distance to travel at that time. Actually, not much of a fun trip now, given the traffic congestion we have to deal with. BTW, I also pulled out WB's name from an index of Hartford Land Records, 1639- 1839. 1 purchase in 1639, 1 sale in 1660 and 1 sale in 1666. I have to get these records from the Town Clerk.

I found, by accident, something of interest concerning Wm Bloomfield. This may not be new to the list but I have not seen it before. I was going to a monthly Genealogy Group meeting at the Godfrey Library in Middletown, CT on Monday evening when I stopped to read some plaques on the building dedicated to the founders of that town(1654.) It is on the CT River and 25-30 miles south west of Hartford. A Wm Bloomfield was listed on this plaque which I thought quite a coincidence having two WBs in close proximity in the early history of CT. Then I saw, listed on an adjacent plaque, and lining up with William's name, Sarah Bloomfield. You may recall that Wm's wife and daughter were named Sarah. This being too much of a coincidence, I decided to do some checking. I went through some Genealogies on Heritage Quest and it does appear that William Bloomfield was indeed a settler in Middletown, CT, having been introduced to that area during the Pequot Wars when he served with Capt. Mason! . Several references are made to the early settlement of Hartford by the Hooker Group from Cambridge and several Hartford Founders were noted as well, leading me to believe this is the same WB. As I said, this may not be new to the list, but I haven't seen it before. My previous knowledge of WB was that he went to Hartford from Cambridge (Newtown), then to Springfield, MA to settle his daughter Sarah's estate following the death of Simon #2, then to New London, and finally to Newtown, LI, NY by 1663. Although I have seen him mentioned in Hartford court documents between that time and found that hard to reconcile, thinking he was in NY. Perhaps being in Middletown during 1654 accounts for his court appearances. As yet I have found no reference to Isabel, Sarah, or Simon and John Sackett. If there is some interest I will provide citations for what I find. Tom Smith

Elihu could be a decendent of Orlin Sackett. According to family stories Orlin, Edward, and Elton moved from Goodhue to Martin County. Martin, Blue Earth, and Faribault counties touch each other. I know I have seen the Alton spelling for Elton somewhere, but can't find it now. Also, I have a picture of the Elton Sackett family taken in Faribault county. I also have a later picture of his family that is him, his wife, and four sons. So it all seems to fit. ---Karen "louella@endor.com" <louellas@endor.com> wrote: >Do you have census information?

>From the Cattaraugus County Surrogate Court probate record of Charles Chamberlin who died intestate August 30, 1828 in Great Valley, NY, his widow Permelia is listed as administrix along with Moses Chamberlin and Joseph Chamberlin as administrators. By November , 1829 Rowland Sackett of Great Valley, NY had married the widow Permelia Chamberlin and took over as administrator in her behalf. No mention of any other Sacketts or Chase's - but loads of Chamberln names given as heirs at law.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ChEBAIB/159.1.3 Message Board Post: Carolyn, My sister's boy is related through his dad's side to Olive Sackett Lambert who lived at Pleasant Grove, MN. We believe she was a daughter of Nathaniel Baldwin Sackett and Olive Henry. Olive Henry died young in NY and we think this N.B. Sackett who fathered Olive Sackett was the same who also married Agnes Young. Little Olive was said to be under 5 when her mother died and was left in NY with her grandparents from the Henry side of the family prior to 1850? She later joined her family in Wisconsin before they settled at Pleasant Grove, MN. Members of nathaniel Baldwin Sackett's family were supposed to have founded the town of Sackett's Harbor, NY. Let's exchange!

Do you have census information? There is an Elihu E. Sackett, age 17, hired hand in the 1910 census of Nashville township, Martin co., Minnesota, ED #124, page 152. Elihu was born in Minnesota and it says his parents were both born in Minnesota. In the 1900 census of Shelby, Blue Earth County, Minnesota, ED #3, page 8 is Elton Sacket, Head, age 31, born June 1868, married 13 years, born Minnesota, Farmer (unfortunately does not have information about his parent's birthplaces) Nellie S. Sacket, Wife, age 31, born Nov 1868, married 13 years, born Minnesota, father born Canada, mother born New York Sons, Elmer C., age 12, born May 1888, born Minnesota Willie O., age 10, born Apr 1890, " Elihu F., age 8, born Dec 1891, " Clarence E., age 4, born June 1895, " And a niece Cora B. Brown, age 16, born Jan 1884, born Minnesota, father born Wisconsin, mother born Minnesota In the 1880 census of Roscoe, Goodhue Co., Minnesota, page 411D Orlin Sackett, self, age 55, married, born NY, Farmer (parents birthplaces blank) Ann , wife, age 41, married, born ME " Edward , son, age 18, single, born Minnesota, Assists on farm Mina , dau, age 15, " " Ella , " , age 11, " Elton , son, age 11, " Emma , dau, age 3, " A Denise Matson, dmatson@mlecmn.net has entered the family of Orlin Sackett and Ann Birch in the Ancestry family files, looks like she is descended from Elmer a son born after 1880.

Darlene & Louella: I checked out the file of Denise Matson and it presents a bit of a problem. In the 1880 census Ann, wife of Orlin is listed as age 41 years. Denise gives the date of birth for the last son, Elmer O. Sackett as ABT 1889 which would make Ann's age 50 years at the birth Elmer O. ... Hmmm. Maybe if the family could be found in the 1900 census it might clear this up a bit. The Orlin Sackett, with wife Ann, is the same as Orlen Sacket in Ontario Co., NY in 1850: Year: 1850; State: NY; County: Ontario; Township: Naples Roll: M432_571 Page: 22 247/251 Sackett, Orlen 26 m laborer NY Sacket, Lucinda 23 f NY Sackett, Lucy 4 f NY Sacket, George 1 m NY Lyon, Betsey 16 f NY His 1st wife, Lucinda (some had her listed as Sarah) died in Oct. 1856 and is buried in Fairview Cemetery, Naples, Ontario Co. NY. I have encountered a problem with the name of his 2nd wife, listed as Ann in the 1880 census. One source gives her name as Mandy Dans. Another gives her name as Mina Schofield. And Denise gives her name as Ann Birch. Brad Sackett sent this to Mary Lou Sackett: "...Orland's wife Sarah died when George was a very young boy and later Orland married Mandy Dans. Five children were born to this marriage. Edward Sackett; Emma Sackett, married Dolittle; Nina Sackett, married Schofield; Elin Sackett and Elton Sackett. Edward and Elton moved to Jackson Co., Minnesota." According to Brad's info, Nina/Mina Sackett married a Schofield which could indicate that someone got some names mixed up. And if Elton and Edward moved to Jackson Co., MN; that would put them a little west of Faribault County. If Darlene's gg-grandfather was Elton/Alton Sackett b. abt 1869 in the household of Orlin Sackett of Roscoe, Goodhue Co., MN in the 1880 census; then that is where we are at present on this family line. I have the information I have for him posted on the website as an "orphan line." Liesa is hoping to be able to find the War of 1812 pension file for Zelotes Sackett of Ontario Co., NY to see if it has information on where he was born. My present theory is that he is the father of Orlin/Orlen/Orland Sacket (Subject to change if the facts indicate a need to do so).

I don't know where the first part of this went to ... So, I'll try again. During the past week I was reminded of a visit by one of my cousins after we were had moved to Yuma, AZ. I had remembered him being in the Navy and that he told of being on a ship in Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 and that a skeleton crew managed to save the ship by getting it out to sea. Later in the year, Mother told us that his ship had been sunk by the Japanese. And, as I remembered it, my cousin was lost at sea. But I couldn't remember who the cousin was. So, I called my brother, Donal, who is three years older than me. He told me that the cousin's name was Claude Bolton, Jr. and that he had been on the ship USS Astoria. Claude, Jr was the son of my mother's sister Emma (Sackett) Bolton (1899-c1997) who was married, in 1921, to Claude Bolton, Sr. They had had five children, the youngest was born in Yuma, AZ in 1933. Sometime after 1933 they were divorced. And Aunt Emma raised her children alone. Now, for the story of Claude Bolton, Jr. (1923-1951): As stated earlier, he was in the U.S. Navy when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. But, according to the Navy's website, there were no U. S. ships that got out of Pearl Harbor during the bombing. One ship tried and was hit and was beached to keep it from sinking in the channel. So, what I had remembered about my cousin's shipmates getting their ship out of the harbor; was either me remembering incorrectly, or my cousin embelished his story for his younger cousin !! However, he was on the ship Astoria when it was sunk by gunfire from Japanese warships at Savo, Solomon Islands on 9 Aug 1942. After several hours in the ocean Claude, Jr and the crew were rescued. After the war, Claude, Jr. returned to Yuma. Then about 1947 he was married in Tulare, CA. In 1951 he went to Yreka, Siskiyou Co., CA to pan for gold. One of the processes used to separate gold from other elements collected from the pannings involves the use of mercury. The mercury will adhere to the gold thereby collecting it. To separate the mercury from the gold, the combined elements are placed in a retort and heated to vaporize the mercury. The mercury vapors are passed into a closed chamber where they are cooled and condensed back into liquid form and then used again. This process is called retorting. Unfortunately, Claude, Jr. did not know the process, or thought he could take a shortcut in the process and not bother reclaiming the mercury. So he heated the mercury in a pan on his cook stove and as the mercury vaporized he breathed some of the vapor which condensed back to mercury in his lungs ... causing his death. Thurmon

My cousin and I are going to NY state archives/library in Albany the first week in July. Are there any particular things you guys can think of to specifically research on the McKay/Sackett lines? I am willing to look up anything on these families as time permits Liesa

In the process of separating the gold from other material; he was using mercury. After the gold is suspended in the mercury, the mercury is heated to vaporize the mercury leaving the gold. Normally This process is called retorting. The mercury vapors are normally sent into something like a still so that the mercury will be reclaimed and used again. Unfortunately, Claude, Jr. did not know the process, or thought he could take a shortcut in the process and not bother reclaiming the mercury. So he heated the mercury in a pan on his cook stove and as the mercury vaporized he breathed some of the vapor which condensed back to mercury in his lungs ... causing his death. Thurmon

Thurmon, What I was referring to as conjecture was her relationship to Ephraim Tinkham. Most everything says she "probably was a younger sister of the colonist Ephraim Tinkham, of Plymouth settlement." Seems I also read way back about 35 years ago about an assumed father as well. It may have been Ephraim Tinkham, Sr. My memory refuses to return that far back. It becomes VERY fuzzy. ;) So is there any chance she could have been a widow with the last name of TINCOME/TINKHAM when she married John...? Usually it will read "Mrs. So And So" but back in the 1600's...? Who knows... What's your theory about the Agnes included in the Gillian MANSFIELD will...? Next time I'll be sure and go to Chris' site first instead of yours. ;) Later...Nancy Later...Nancy Nancy Cluff Siders List Admin CLUFF-L, COUNTRYMAN-L, LETSON-L, MCKAY-ELKENNY-L, SACKETT-L, SIDERS-L LIFE: Live.
