Peter, The British Library have published some India Office Family History records at http://indiafamily.bl.uk/UI/. Perhaps you would take a look and see if you recognise any of the names. (Searching on Sackett should produce 25 hits). I see there was a Bertram Edward Sackett in these records, but we are looking for Bertram William Dudley Sackett. The only name I can place with our British records so far is Frank Colyer Sackett who was the missionary I mentioned to you in my email of Dec 2007. All the other names are new to me, so we are going to need to do some detective work to figure all this out.

This probably isn't of interest to anyone else, except for the website, Chris. I have done a close comparison of the 1790 and 1800 censuses for Joseph Sackett 283.6N.7 and have also looked at the tax rolls for 1798-1833 for Warrior's Mark, PA. I do not find any evidence for two of the children listed there: Joseph Sackett and Isaac Anson Sackett. Do we have some source other than Weygant for them? I can see that joseph might possible have died in childhood, but if Isaac lived into adulthood, he never appeared on the tax rolls and there aren't enough children's spaces in the censuses to accomodate him. My basis for the relative places of the children are based on the appearances in the tax rolls: David is the oldest son (appears in the 1805 tax roll as a freeman-- Freemen in Pennsylvania are unmarried men age 21 and over.) He probably married in 1808 since he is no longer listed as a freeman in 1809. Azariah is the second-- he appears in the 1806 tax roll as a freeman. He is a freeman also for the 1807 tax, but is no longer a freeman for the 1808 tax indicating he was married in 1807 (before 22 December). George is the third son, although likely younger than daughter Nancy. He is listed as a freeman in 1810 and that's the only year he appears on the tax rolls. Father Joseph appears on the tax rolls for the last time in 1819. The assessment done for 1820 (which was taken on 3 January 1820) doesn't list him. Azariah who has not had property up to this point, is assessed for 200 acres in 1823. The 1790 census for this family only shows one son and one daughter. There ought to be two with both David and Azariah. The 1800 census in Warrior's Mark, Huntingdon County, PA shows the family perfectly with David, Azariah, Nancy, and George, but certainly no room for any other children. I know that sometimes children can be in other places, but it seems weird that in two censuses there would be no accounting for those two other children (Joseph and Isaac). They both could have died, but we know that isaac apparently did not since he has descendants. Some of this I already knew, but tonight I stumbled upon a Sackett appearing in the census I had not seen before. http://content.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7734&path=Pennsylvania.Huntington.Warriorsmark.2 to me this Ann Sacket looks like she would be Joseph's wife. She's the right age. She's appearing at the right time since she would have been recently widowed. And she has a female living in the household of the right age range to be Nancy. I found some court records which I will report on later. In about 1807 or 08, David and George were brought up on charges of assault and battery. David was found guilty of biting off the end of the nose of Charles Coleman. George was acquitted. There were other people involved, too. I actually didn't stumble across this on my own. The wife of a descendant of Charles Coleman told me about it. I have the microfilm with the court record on it and will transcribe the information. Patti

Hi Patti, That is quite a bit of detective work !! To this point the only source I know of for Isaac Anson Sackett being a son of Joseph Sackett of Huntingdon Co. PA is Weygant's book. The research you and Lynn have done has shown that Wygant was in error about Thomas Sackett, m, Sarah Haywood being a son of Simon Sackett of Haywood, NJ. And, thus far, we have been unable to determine who the parents of Thomas were. Concerning Isaac Anson Sackett, he first appears in the census in the 1820 Census; Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY Issac A. Sackett; 300 010 - 200 10 With 5 children under 10, it would appear that he had been married for at least 5-10 years. I did not find an Isaac Sackett in the 1810 census so he must have been in another household, or missed, at that time. However, he remained in Delaware County until his death in 1852. Using 1785 as his year of birth; he would have been about 35 in 1820 and about 25 in 1810. He would have been age 16-26 in the 1810 census and 10-16 in 1800. If he was born in Connecticut and, if he was in a household in Connecticut in 1810, we are limited in the possibilities. However, there is something interesting in Jacobus; "Families of Ancient New Haven; Vol. VII; Pages 1584-5. Jacobus disagrees with Weygant's construction of the Sackett family of New Haven: Weygant has #18-Jonathan Sackett, son of John and Agnes Tinkham Sackett, m. Hannah _____ Children 74.

<<Elijah sold was possibly more familial than personally his. Perhaps after selling the Fannett township property, Joseph received his share of the proceeds and bought the extra acreage in Warrior's Mark Township, Huntingdon County, where he lived.>> the reason I think the property may have been more familial is that we know that all three brothers: Elijah, Joseph, and Azariah were in Fannett Township, Franklin County because that's where their militia unit was from and also they were signers on two documents in 1778 and 1779 which shows that they were in Fannett Township at that time.
