Mary Jo: According to the information I have Erastus Sacket was a son of Rolin Sackett and Lovina Edson of Crawford Co., PA. His information is located at: http://freepages.books.rootsweb.com/~teking/simon/pafg40.htm#11244 Most of the information I have for him came from Ted Mudge [email address below], one of our Sackett researchers. I hope this helps some in your search. And if you have additional information for him or his family we would appreciate having it to add to our Sacketts of America database. If you should happen to have headstone pictures we would love to have copies to add to our Sackett Headstones website.
