I am a manuscripts cataloger, and I just cataloged a small group of papers pertaining to Richard Sackett (died 1746). I thought members of TSFA would be interested in knowing about these papers, and as yours was the first contact information I found on the web site, I am sending you a note about these papers, and I will let you tell whoever may be interested about them. The papers are mostly about land transactions, give no genealogy information, and in short, are not terribly informative. However, papers from one’s ancestors are always of interest, are they not? Richard Sackett signed two of the documents, and his wife Margery signed one. > > The Winterthur Museum web site address is www.winterthur.org. If one clicks on the Collections tab, one can get to the part of the web site which leads to the library catalog (WinterCat), and an author search of Sackett, Richard, will lead you to the description of the small collection of papers, call number Col. 904. > > If any TSFA members live in this area (northern Delaware), we would be happy to show them the papers during regular library hours, Monday-Friday, 8:30-4:30. > > Happy New Year to you! > > Yours sincerely, > > Laura Parrish > Associate Librarian > Joseph Downs Collection of Manuscripts and Printed Ephemera > Winterthur Museum > 5105 Kennett Pike > Winterthur, Delaware 19735 > > Telephone: 302.888.4733 > Fax: 302.888.3367 > > > >
