The Sackett Family Association website sackettfamily.info has been updated with the following new and revised pages: • New members 384 Gay Wernett, 385 David Staynor, 386 Walter Pogue, 387 Byra G Sackett, 388 William P "Bill" Sackett, 389 David Stupke, 390 Aleta Pogue, 391 Jenn Amundson, 392 Timothy Stemper • Revised 253 Terri Carlson, 305 Terry J Sackett, 355 Charles Nelson Sackett Sr, 360 Kathleen Logan, 361 Cliff McCarthy, 375 Peg Eddy, 382 Tim Sackett • Added sampler of Mehitabel Goodyear (1784–) • Added Westfield 2012 reunion • Added The Sackett family in Westfield, a talk by Dr Robert Brown • Added Sackett, a novel by Stuart Strothman • Added The Sackett Tavern, tour by James Homan • Added Westfield 2012 reunion gallery • Newspaper abstracts, added page Recent additions • Added Memoirs of Samuel Arthur Sackett (1841–1932) • Added James W Hoard: Two Armies, Two Wives by Jean Carpenter I would be pleased to add more pictures to the Westfield 2012 reunion gallery if others who attended have photographs in their cameras that would fill gaps in the record. We spoke at the Reunion about the Newspaper research project. Peg Eddy has made a start on some extracts. There is plenty to do if others would like to contribute. The new page for recent additions will, it is hoped, make it easier for readers to keep abreast of items being added to the archive, and may also provide a spur to progress with the project. The page will show items added in recent months on a rolling basis. The Samuel Arthur Sackett memoir was contributed to the mailing list in 2000 by Denzil Klippel. I came across it again in Thurmon King's database when compiling new member Byra Sackett's ancestry. This vivid memoir, as recorded by Samuel's daughter Julia in 1930, now appears in the History & Memoirs section of the website. Also in History & Memoirs is Jean Carpenter's fascinating account of the surprise in store for her when she set about researching her great-grandfathers who had served in the Civil War. A great read!

Cliff, Thanks for the kind words. However, I had given up on Horace and gone on to other things. Then, I ran across that Find A Grave memorial. Your note about the change of name for Norwich helps. No wonder I wasn't able to find it on the map!!

Wow! Terrific work, Thurmon. That takes care of that mystery. Only thing I might add is that Norwich, Mass. is now the town of Huntington, Mass. It was renamed in 1855. It is in the vicinity of Chester, MA, so the article was pretty close to correct. Great job.

The recent discussion relating to the identity of the parents of Horace Sackett, Civil War Soldier, who died in Bradford County, PA [http://thedailyreview.com/news/paying-tribute-to-a-civil-war-veteran-1.1380850 thedailyreview.com: With offices in Towanda, Sayre, and Troy Pa] ended with no decision. While updating the Find A Grave listings to include memorials created since Sept. 14, 2012; I believe I stumbled upon a solution to the problem. During the discussion I mentioned that William Spencer Sackett of Bradford Co., PA had reported in the 1880 census that his father was born in Ohio. That didn't agree with the information in the article about the headstone for Horace Sackett which said that he was born in Chester, MA. Doing a search for Horace Sackett born in Ohio, I found the following: 1860 > OHIO > ASHTABULA > KINGSVILLE Series: M653 Roll: 933 Page: 214 [Page No. 33]; 9 June, 1860 Post Office: Kingsville, Ohio 261/275 James Woodworth, 44, M, Lumber dealer, NY Mary A. Woodworth, 33, F, ---, Ohio Mary R. Woodworth, 18, F, House Work, Ohio Lydia A. Woodworth, 16, F, ---, Ohio James C. Woodworth, 14, M, ---, Ohio Martha C. Woodworth, 12, F, ---, Ohio Page 215 [Page No. 34] Harriet A. Woodworth, 9, F, ---, Ohio Charles Woodworth, 7, M, ---, Ohio William Woodworth, 3(?), M, ---, Ohio Caroline J. Woodworth, 1, F, ---, Ohio Sarah A. Sackett, 9, F, ---, Ohio Horace Sackett, 34, M, Teamster, Ohio Elvyra Sackett, 30, F, ---, NY Ruth R. Sackett, 10, F, ---, Ohio William W(?). Sackett, 7, M, ---, Penn [William Spencer] John L. Sackett, 5, M, ---, Penn This has Horace Sackett and his wife Elvira listed in the household of James Woodworth. The 4 Sackett children listed is the same number as the ones listed in the article: "Gary Sackett said that Horace Sackett had four children, and was married to his wife, Elvira. The children's names were John, Spencer, Ruth, and Elvira." The only child with a different name is Sarah A. which could be Sarah Alvira/Elvira, or, Sarah could have died and another daughter was born after the 1860 census. I couldn't make a connection for James Woodworth and his wife, Mary A. until I entered this FAG listing: Martha (Sackett) Woodworth Birth: 1818; Massachusetts, USA Death: 1854; Ashtabula County, Ohio, USA Burial: East Lake Cemetery, North Kingsville, Ashtabula County, Ohio, USA Daughter of Mark Sackett, d. 14 Feb 1853 and Sally Heald. Family links: Spouse: James Woodworth (1816 - 1900) Children: James Philander Woodworth (1845 - 1906) Note: Transcribed at http://www.conneautohio.us/eastlakecemindex_wxyz.htm. Martha Woodworth, w/o J_______, Located near Philander Woodworth, her father-in-law. Older stone, date is buried. Created by: Genealogy Liz Record added: Sep 22, 2012 Find A Grave Memorial# 97582316 According to the research submitted by Patty Sackett Chrisman; Martha Sackett married a James WOODRUFF. So, the cemetery records show that Martha married James WOODWORTH. In my database, Martha had a brother named Horace ! As can be seen in the FAG memorial, Martha died in 1854. By 1860, James Woodworth had remarried but Horace Sackett was still associated with him. James Woodworth was a lumber dealer and Horace was a teamster. This led me to take another look at notes I have for Mark Sackett. Information supplied by Mary Lou Sackett: LDS microlfilm no. 0760649, 175, Intention of marriage between Mr. Mark Sackett and Miss Polly Herrick both of Norwich entered by me March 17th, 1810. Samll Wright, T. clerk. Information supplied by Lanny Howard a descendant of Mark Sackett: "... Jael was one of 6 children: Jael, Miriam, David, Betsy, Mark and Joseph. Jael's parents were Mark Sacket and Sarah (Sally) Heald - no info available on them, ..." In the notes I have for Mark Sackett; I puzzled over the fact that Patty Chrisman and Lanny Howard had a difference in the number of children for Mark; 8 children vs. 6 children. Just this morning, I discovered something which seems to answer the question. The information supplied by Mary Lou indicates that Mark Sackett and Miss Polly Herrick, both of Norwich, MA entered intention of marriage in Mar.,1810. The 1810 census indicates that they were married by the time the census was taken: Sacket, Mark Year: 1810; State: MA; County: Hampshire; Township: Norwick Roll: M252_19 Page: 110 Census: 001 00 - 001 00 Mark and his wife are listed as age 16-26 = b. 1784-1794 In the 1820 census they are both listed as age 26-45 = b. 1775-1794: Sacket, Mark Year: 1820; State: MA; County: Hampshire; Township: Norwich Roll: M33_50 Page: 136 Image: 141 Census: 100 010 - 200 10 They have 1 son and 2 daughters Between 1820 and 1827, Mark moved to Ashtabula Co., OH: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohashtab/1827DenmarkTwp.htm [link no longer valid] 1827 Denmark Township Census ASHTABULA COUNTY, OH Extracted and Transcribed by Carol Page Tilson Mark Sacket [Sackett] Starting with the 1830 census, Mark has a younger wife. 1830: age 30-40 = b. 1800-1810. According to the transcription I have, her age is the same in 1840. This could be due to the date of the two censuses. However, by 1850, Sarah C. Sackett is age 47 = b. 1803 and was born in New York. This indicates that Sarah C. ____ was the 2nd wife of Mark and that Polly (Herrick) Sacket had died between 1820 and 1830. This would also indicate that the FAG memorial for Martha Woodworth is incorrect when it lists Martha's mother as Sarah Heald [which is the same as the information in my database presently online]. Sacket, Mark [W #567] Year: 1830; State: OH; County: Ashtabula; Township: Denmark Roll: M19_126 Page: 118 Image: 238 Census: 012 000 100 000 0 - 110 001 000 000 0 In the 1830 census there are two sons age 10-15 = b. 1815-1820. In 1840 these sons are age 15-20 = b. 1815-1820. However, the 1820 census shows only one son (under 10) in the household. This could indicate that there was a son born in 1820, after the census was taken. It is possible that this could be Horace, which the article about his headstone indicates that he was born in July, 1820. ------ Sackett, Mark [W #567] Year: 1840; State: Ohio; County: Ashtabula; Township: Millsford Roll: M704_376 Page: 203 Census: 101 200 100 000 0 - 211 001 000 000 0 ------ Year: 1850; State: OH; County: Ashtabula; Township: Dorset Roll: M432_659 Page: 494 1749/1812 Sackett, Mark 59 m farmer MA [W #567] [Sackett], Sarah C. 47 f -- NY Sackett, David 14 m -- OH Sackett, Jael 12 f -- OH Sackett, Betsey M. 10 f -- OH Sackett, Mark 8 m -- OH Sackett, Joseph 4 m -- OH Concluding thoughts I hope the remarks above are not confusing. In them, I tried to follow some of the thought processes I went through while working on this problem. I now believe that Horace Sackett was born July, 1820, in Massachusetts. The location in Massachusetts is uncertain. The article about his headstone says he was born in Chester Village. The marriage intentions for his parents were filed in Norwich, Hampshire, MA. The census for 1810 and 1820 has the household of Mark Sacket in Norwich, Hampshire, MA. Although the 1820 census has only one son listed, the 1830 census indicates that there was another son, age 10-15, b. 1815-1820. The 1860 census for the James Woodworth family has Horace as age 34 (b. c1826) born in Ohio. The accurarcy of this information would depend upon who supplied the information and whether they reported what they knew to be correct, or merely what they believed to be correct. The article about the headstone of Horace says that Horace gave his age as 39 when he enlisted for the Civil War in Dec., 1863. That would put his birth as about 1824. This conflicted with the headstone which gave his age as 44 when he died April 25, 1864. Actually, his age would have been 43 years, 9 months, ---- days. Some headstones give the age at death as; "in his 44th year" which indicates that the person had passed his 43rd birthday but had not reached his 44th birthday; which would be the completion of 44 years. The age given when he enlisted was probably a misrepresentation. I have seen other records where men around 40, or older, lied about their age to get into the service. Based upon the above, I have moved Mark's children: William, Sally, Martha, and Horace from being children of Sarah Heald to being the children of Polly Herrick. I have linked the individual I have as William Spencer "Spencer" as the son, William. Concerning the death of Horace It was interesting to see that, in the 1860 census for Kingsville, Ohio, Horace had two daughters older than William Spencer. They were both born in Ohio. Then Spencer and his brother, John L. were born in Pennsylvania. The article about the headstone says: "Horace Sackett died in Bradford County while on furlough visiting relatives." And, according to the record I found, Horace was buried in the William Bidlack Family Cemetery. Was William Bidlack related in some way to Horace Sackett?
