Hello Sackett Searchers, This week Jean Carpenter forwarded to me a message that Michael Trickey had sent to her: From: "Michael Trickey" <mtrickey@stx.rr.com> Subject: Sackett Systems, Inc. | Forklift Battery Handling Equipment Date: March 10, 2013 2:20:44 PM EDT To: "Carpenter, Jean" <pjtc@verizon.net> Stumbled across this site by accident. The business was apparently founded by an H.B. Sackett in 1897. I found a Harold Baldwin Sackett in the database and I wonder if this is the same guy. Mike http://www.sackett-systems.com/?gclid=CJ7O6aDc8rUCFQKoPAodRG0A-w I did some searching in the database and found that the H. B. Sackett was: Weygant, p. 374 4362. HIRAM BARTON SACKETT, 1824-, son of (1751) Stephen Sackett and Rachel Barton, was married April 18, 1866, to SARAH L. SMITH, daughter of HENRY SMITH and his wife ELEANOR. Mr. Sackett left the homestead farm at Stanford, Dutchess County, N. Y., on which he was born and reared, in April, 1849, and for ten Page 375 years was a resident of Irving, N. Y. In 1860, shortly after his marriage, he removed to Atchison, Kansas, and from there a few years later to Omaha, Neb., where he engaged in a banking business and ran a sheep ranch. From Omaha he went to Council Bluffs, Ia., where for 14 years he was engaged in a coal and flour business. From Council Bluffs he went to Chicago and engaged in the sale of coal dealers' supplies, a business in which he was successfully engaged in 1905. Children. 7528. FRED B. SACKETT, b. Mar. 1, 1861; m. Clemence Parks. 7528a. Nellie R. Sackett, b. July 2, 1864. 7528b. Hoke Kenedy Sackett, b. Apr. 24, 1866, d. Oct. 14, 1868. **** Page 463 7528. FRED B. SACKETT, 1861-, of Jamestown, Minn., son of (4362) Hiram B. and Sarah L. Smith Sackett, was married, Feb. 6, 1881, to CLEMENCE PARKS, daughter of GEORGE PARKS and his wife ANN NELSON. They resided in 1905 at 114 East Third St., Jamestown, Minn. ++++++++++ I did some searching for Fred B. Sackett in the household of Hiram B. Sackett but did not find him. In the process, I found that he was not listed in the 1880 census: 1880 Census; Council Bluffs, Pottawattamie, Iowa Film T9-0361; Page 302C H. B. SACKETT, Self M M W 55 NY Merchant NY NY Sarah SACKETT, Wife F M W 42 NY Keeps House NY NY Nellie SACKETT, Dau F S W 15 NE -- NY NY Of course, Fred would have been about 19 years old and could have already left home. However, the 1900 and 1910 censuses contain some interesting information. In both of them, Sarah reported that she had given birth to 2 children and only 1 was still living. That one was her daughter Eleanor R. "Nellie" Sackett. In Weygant's account, Hiram and Sarah had a son, Hoke Kenedy Sackett 1866-1868 who would be the one who had died. It appears evident from this that Fred B. Sackett, m. Clemence Parks, come from does not belong to this family. So, where did he come from? I found Frederick B. Sackett and his wife, Clementina A, in the 1910 and 1920 censuses in Buffalo, Erie, New York. In the 1910 census, Clementina reported 0 children born. In 1910 and 1920, Clementina's parents are reported as; father born New York and mother born in England. She was listed in the household of George and Ann Parks in 1870 and 1880: 1870 Census; 11th Ward, Buffalo, Erie County, New York Page No. 60; 17 August, 1870' Post Office: Buffalo, N.Y. 444/411 Parks, Geo, 37, M, W, Laborer, New York Parks, Ann, 37, F, W, Keeping house, England Parks, Clem, 7, F, W, Atds Sch, New York ------ https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MZ89-5Z5 1880 Census; Buffalo, Erie, New York Page: 247 Page Letter: C Entry Number: 1788 Affiliate Film Number: T9-0831 GS Film number: 1254831 Self; George Parks, M, 47, New York, United States Wife; Ann Parks, F, 48, England Daughter; Clemmie Parks, F, 18, New York, United States This indicates that, for Fred B. Sackett, Weygant had the right wife, and her parents. But his is connected to the wrong parents. Doing some more searching I came up with the answer: Weygant, Page 271 1783. Hiram Sackett, 1812-18__, of Dutchess County, N. Y., and Irving, Chautauqua County, N. Y., son of (737) Joel and Betsey Husted Sackett, was married, Dec. 6, 1834, to Millicent Smith. Children. 4460.

Climentia Parker. +++++++++++++ Yep, Weygant has Fred B. Sackett attached to two differnt Hiram Sacketts. and here, he has Frederick B. Sackett as married to Climentia PARKER; instead of Parks. But he appears in the 1910 and 1920 censuses as Frederick B.
