Thurmon and all, Thanks for the reply. Here are some answers to your questions. The following comes from the Bible record housed at the Roswell P. Flower Memorial Lib Genealogy Dept. The bible was given to this lib. by a daughter (Hattie B. Cumpston) of James and Lydia. Some of the dates were written down by my husbands ancestors and passed through the family. James Noble Sackett b. 4 Jul 1822 Ursula Makepeace Sackett b. 21 May 1827 (also have her born in 1823) William Sacket b. 14 Dec 1788 Sabrina Cartter b. 15 Jun 1800 James Sacket and Ursula Makepeace married 1 Mar 1843 (sorry I had 1844 on the first email). I have more records on Lydia Sackett, b. 1861 in Forrest, Livingston Co. Illinois, so really don't need more on her, but would like to follow the trail back on her parents, etc. In the 1850 Census for Alexandria, Jeff Co. NY the following families are listed: family no. 235 James Sackett, 27, m, farmer, NY Ursula, 22, f, NY Delia, 6, f, NY John H., 5, m, NY Sobrina (should be Sabrina), 1, f, NY and family no. 236 William, 62, m, 800, Mass. Sabina, 50, f, Mass. Harriet, 21, f, NY So I am assuming that the above William is the same one listed in the Bible record and would be the parents of James. The bible record also listed these individuals which appear to be siblings of James, children of William: Eliza, b. 15 Feb 1820 Leonard, b. 18 Nov 1823 George W. b. 5 Nov 1827 Harriet, b. 10 Jan 1827 (this may be wrong as her age in 1850 census was 21 which would make her b. 1829 I guess that is all for now. Hope someone can add to my information or see a connection. Grace Keir researching for my husband Richard
