I really don't believe it ever had anything to do with sacks. If it had, there would have been Sacketts in just about every town and village in the country! Instead, as we know, the clan seems to have started in one very small area in the north-east corner of Kent. There is an article about the name on The Sackett Family Association website at http://sackettfamily.info/ui04.htm Regards, Chris
