Arabella: We would be interested in your source for Simon Sackett coming to America on the Mayflower. And, of course, which voyage he was on. All the information we have indicates that he came to America on the ship "Lyon" about 1630/1631. He was still in England at the time of his marriage to Isabel Pearce on 6 Aug 1627.

Arabella, what is the website (URL link) for St. Mary's Church on the net?

Hi, Let's not forget that Ramsgate, Kent, England also had the St. Lawrence Parish, from where most of my Kent SACKETTS were from.

Thurmon, Count me in as one who truly appreciates your "tales". My ancestors were "stick-in-the-muds" in northeastern PA and I was the first intrepid soul to move "west" (Ohio in 1965!). ;-) I have really enjoyed reading of your adventures. Keep 'em coming!

Thurmon, I too get very little information about my family from this site but I love to read about the successes that others have. I thoroughly enjoy reading about your childhood as much as I did the War letters that Chris posted on here a while back. Please don't be discourage by 1 person, we can never please everyone...it's their loss..you are our gain. Keep them coming best regards Ali Sackett -----Original Message----- From: Thurmon E.

So, it bothers me to think that someone has left the SACKETT-L because of my "Tales from my childhood." Although I cannot respond to the one who asked this question, I feel that I should offer an explaination. Due to the fact that my Mother was Grace Mabel SACKETT (1910-1986) I believe that each time I mention my Mother in my postings, I am mentioning a SACKETT. After a few of my early postings of my "tales" I asked Nancy if I was off subject by posting them. Her response was that "you are SACKETT and this is the SACKETT-L." My motivation for posting my "tales" is to give those in our younger generations an insight into what it was like to grow up in the 1930s in rural Oklahoma. With that in mind; I have tried to be selective in my postings. And I have limited my postings to 1 per week ... With the exception of replying to responses to something I posted. I can only wish that I had available some of the childhood memories of the children of Reuben Sackett and Mercy Finney, or those of Simon Sackett and Isabel Pearce. Just to see if I have been taking up too much of the SACKETT-L message traffic; I checked the Threaded Archives and found that since the 1st of March the messages relating to my "tales" have been 42 messages out of 247 messages posted. March 13 of 117 April 18 of 71 May 11 of 59 In this matter I will bow to the wishes of the members of the SACKETT-L One point I would take exception to is the statement that I "gather" information. I like to believe that there is a difference between "gathering" information and compiling information.

I picked up a War of 1812 record for a Leander Sacket on my last trip could this be the same one? I am not sure of all the ones I got or what is in them but I also got a Clark, Oliner, Harry/Harvey and I think a couple of others. I am hoping to have them on line soon but I am still playing with HTML code. Liesa On Tue, 3 Jun 2003 18:51:32 -0700 "Thurmon E.

Thurmon, you are like a shepherd. You hate to see even one go out the gate. As a pastor, I know what you are talking about when you express the pain of thinking you had something to do with that "one" leaving. Let me tell you a little secret. That person wanted to leave, and you became a poor excuse. What you have been doing has been a real service to us all. You have been pouring out a little of yourself. We all need a chance to do that once in a while. Thanks for being you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thurmon E.

To add to Leander's info, my cousin Betty Lou Knowles Ott sent me the following info that she had read in "A Brief History or Monroe [Michigan]" "The Erie Canal opened in 1825, LaPlaisance Bay was the first and best stop place for the people of the East to stop at. There was a hotel ran by Leander Sackett, a 2 story frame building with the lower level, a general store occupied by Dan B. Miller." Leander also donated some of his land as a cemetery. It is located on M-50 just west of Monroe. In a book at the Monroe Library with the stone transcriptions for the Sackett or King Cemetery on S. Custer Rd., Raisinville Twp., its says that the land was given by an early pioneer, Leonard (Leander?) Sackett about 1840. This is where Leander, his wife, Eliza and his sister, Miranda are buried. Mary Lou Sackett

Earlier we had a discussion concerning the life and family of Norman Sackett. Weygant, page 251 has a very brief account: 516. Norman Sacket, 18--?-1834, son of (656) Salmon Sacket and Matilda Curtis; married his third wife, Mary Goudy. We have record of but one Child: 3852a Edward C. Sackett, b. July 6, 1831, m. Mary Morgan -------- During our discussion Donn Cutler mentioned that Maxine Chapin's book "The Ancestors and Descendants of William and Hettie Richardson" presented a much larger family and that much of her information was credited to the 10 volume History of Tallmadge, Ohio; by Charles C. Bronson. Maxine has sent me photo copies of the 27 handwritten pages which relate to the family of 656-Deacon Salmon Sackett who migrated from Warren, CT to Tallmadge, OH in 1811. The following is from my transcription of the portion relating to 1516-Norman Sackett and his family: "Norman Sackett was by trade a shoe maker. When his father moved to Ohio he was 22 the March previous. He married Miss Sally Northrup, of Brookfield, Fairfield County, Conn. They had a large family. Children of Norman and Sally Sackett. 1st Horatio Northrup born 2nd Claudius Cook born, Dec 16th 1813 3rd Demming Whilltesey born, Jan 18th 1816 4th Homer Augustine born 5th Sarah Celina born 6th Ebenezer born Aug 1822 7th Norman born March 18th 1824 9th Mrs Sally N Sackett died in Tallmadge, Feb 9th 1827 AE 35. It can be said of her that she was a very patient, Christian woman. She left a family of 9 children. Mr Sackett, after his first wife's death, he broke up house keeping, placing his children in families mostly among his brothers and sisters. He and his brother Elezer, had a section of the Pennsylvania Canal to build in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pa. Here he became acquainted with Miss Mary Ann Goudy, and they were married ____ 1829. After finishing up their Canal contract in Pa; they returned to Ohio, and bought land in the Township of Portage, in Tract 3. This land was in early days called the Oak Openings. As early as 1816 Thaddeus, and Wm. Granger, Esq., with their families settled on the Tract. they were visited with severe sickness, and several members of the Granger families died and were buried at the Center of Tallmadge, those that survived of the Granger families left the farms. And Norman Sackett, moved onto the land, and his second wife died their March 1833 aged __ years. She was represented as a refined woman by those who were acquainted with her, and also a humble Christian. She united with the Gong'l Church in Tallmadge by letter Jan 1st 1832. Children of Norman and Mary Ann G. Sackett. 1st Edward Curtiss born July 10th 1831 2nd Harvey Leander born Dec 6th 1832 3rd 100A His third wife was Miss Sarah Weston, they were married Nov 7th 1833 by Rev J. C. Parmelee. 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, with Billious Fever, arrising from the miasma of the country he had passed through in his journey west. He attended a meeting of the church in Tallmadge, after his return from the Ill. He related to his friends some incidents of his journey across the country; the extent of the prairies, the scattered settlers, the amount of sickness, that prevailed from malarial disease, all through the country. And then remarked, that he had all the symptoms of the malarial disease; and that he must take the prescribed medicines to cleanse his system. 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. Mr. Sackett made a profession of religion in Conn. He transfered his church relations, to the Gong'l Church in Tallmadge, April 25th 1813, with Sally N his first wife, both by letter. ... He was fond of reading, had a retentive memory, a cultivated mind well stored with useful information. All this made him a very agreeable companion in the social circle. He was a man of ardent feelings, and when a subject was brought forward, that enlisted his sympathies, he was not the man to stand back. ... He was also one of a rifle company, that was commanded by Capt. Rial Mc Arthur, in 1812 and 1813, and in the U. S. service. He was the father of 13 children; 9 by his first wife, 3 by his 2nd wife, by his 3[rd] wife 1. Norah S. 100B Demming Whittlesey, born Jan 18th 1816. Died in Wilson County, Kansas, Jan 4th 1870, aged 59 years. Homer Augustine, baptized March 29th 1818, probably born the last of the year 1817. Went south in 1837 and supposed to be dead.

Norman, born March 18, 1824, resides in Tariffville, Conn. [Hartford Co.] Harriet Elizabeth, born Nov 1826. Married Johnston, died at Waverly, Ill., Dec 19th 1864 aged 38 years. Children of Norman and Mary Ann G. Sackett. Caroline Sovica, born 1829. Married Schlabach,, is living at De Witt, Clinton county, Iowa. Solomon Ashman, born March 7th 1830.

Mr. Sackett's third wife was Miss Sarah Weston, they were married Nov 7th 1833 by Rev. J. C. Parmelee. They had one child, Norah S. ------------ As soon as I receive some additional information that has been promised I'll add the updated material to the website. Thurmon

I read them all, Thurman, your stories trigger my memories. for instance your first jobs..mine was hoeing weeds on a 'huge' field. My older brother was 11, I was 9 and my younger brother 8 and we were paid 50 cents a day for the 3 of us. (Probably all we were worth). My dad would drop us off at the crack of dawn with 3 sandwiches and a quart bottle of water. I don't remember what time we were picked up but the water would be gone as well as the sandwiches. This would be around 1938 and the depression while easing, was wandering into a recession so that 50 cents a day hoeing weeds was cash money. For those younger than Thurman and I, if you didn't have cash money you went without. Suppose that is why I made sure my kids knew how to grow things to eat and that is being passed on to my grandchildren.

The information I received this past week for the family of 656-Salmon Sackett and Mercy Matilda Curtis contains some information which conflicts with the account given by Weygant. The first conflict I'll post concerns the family of 1513-Leander Sackett. Weygant, page 250: 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. Child. 3840a. Samuel M. Sackett, b. Oct. 21, 1825, d. Jan. 17, 1896. --------- According to Weygant's account Leander and Rebecca were married, Sept 1822, in CT. and then moved to Ohio. However, the information found in "The History of Tallmadge, Ohio" states that the couple were married 3 Jan 1821 in Windham, Portage Co., OH by Rev. Joseph Treat. Bronson, Charles C. (1805-1886); "The History of Tallmadge, Ohio; in 10 handwritten volumes. [The portion covering the Sacketts was written in 1877.] Vol. 2.; Page 103 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, with other members of the family he was under the necessity of laboring hard to obtain a subsistence, for in those days, pioneer life was not flowery beds of ease. He was one that could chop, roll logs, split rails, and lay up rail fence, and reap the grain with a sickle. When he was 21 his father gave him ___ acres off the east side of Lot No. 2 on Tract 15. He did not incline to work on the land his father had given him, but worked by the month, had jobs of chipping and clearing land. In 1812 he commenced a course of study with Elizur Wright, Esq., to prepare himself for usefulness in some missionary field. He went to Pittsburg in March 1821 and enlisted as boatman, when the Mission went forth known at the time, as the "Great Osage Mission". They embarked at Pittsburg in two boats, decended the Ohio River, then up the Mississippi River to the Missourie, up that river to the mouth of the Osage River, to where the Mission Station was established on the Osage River. Mr. Sackett was married on the 3rd of Jan 1821 to Miss Rebecca Conant of Windham, Portage Co., by Rev. Joseph Treat. In 1822 A mission was organized, under the patronage of the United Missionary Society, to establish a mission among the Indians on the Maumee, near where Maumee City now stands. This mission, Mr. and Mrs. Sackett, joined in some capacity. He united with the Cong'l Church in Tallmadge, May 19th 1816, was dis. Sept, 1822. He continued to reside in that region of Country, after the Mission was abandoned, he at last settled in Raisinville, Michigan; where he spent the remainder of his life. He died Sept 2nd, 1862, aged 74 years. Mr. Sackett, in his younger days, was inclined to be positive, and was outspoken, and some what impulsive, he was not always judicious in his remarks; and at times made himself trouble which with caution might have been avoided. After he left Tallmadge, in 1822 he would return and spend a day or two among his friends and old acquaintance, but for many of the last years of his life he did not visit Tallmadge. And of his life and family, I have no information of consequence. -------- Thurmon

I find tHem quite interesting, and I am always looking forward to the next one. Your stories remind me of my parents, my Grandma Crain, and her mother, my Great-grandma Sackett. My grandma Sackett, gave Dr. Harris in Newport , Arkansas, where I was born in 1950 , two bushels of green beans, for a job well done. When, they brought me home, my Grandma Crain put my feet in the dirt on the Sackett farm outside of Swifton, Arkansas ,and said, grow,and I did. It must have worked. Thurmon , as far as I am concerned ,I enjoy hearing Sackett family history , if you don't pass in on, who will , and what is it, that we all are searching for continuously, but a connection to our ancestors, something more , than just names and dates, something about them and their lifes and their character, events in their lives, etc... Thank you ,Thurman, for your wonderous stories, Charles.

I look forward to reading Thurmons tales. Keep them up. Isn't Genealogy history??? So what he is telling us is history too. I am 51 today, and some of his tales remind me of my Mom, Dad and Grandma. My earliest memories of my Mom are of her standing in the kitchen on a hot summer day, ironing with a cast iron iron that she heated on the stove. The wonderful smell of fresh air-dried laundry, homemade starch and that hot iron pressing the clothes - - MMmmmmm. Thank you Thurmon Arna .

I am at work and unable to email from the address under which I subscribe (mkpsb@pacbell.net). I want to be sure Thurmon gets this message and I do not have his email address. Karen Pritchett Thurmon - please keep posting the memories...the best part of genealogy are the stories of our families. This is what makes them real people as opposed to names on paper. Thanks, Karen Pritchett

Thurmon, I personally want to thank you for your memories. I am 24 and I often feel like we are losing a lot of our heritage when we begin to lose our relatives. I never had the opportunity to meet one of my grandmothers and my grandfather (where my sackett connection comes in) died when I was still in grade school. Because of their early deaths I will never be able to hear stories from their childhoods which helped form who they became. I also feel that the personalities that were formed in their early years helped form me in some way, so I feel that I am missing a peice of me by not having those stories. Thank you for yours. It is a delight to hear about the things you encountered growing up. We all should be so blessed to have family that is willing and happy to share those stories. Thanks again.
