Grace: We're happy to help in any way we can. I checked some military files that Liesa Robarge gave me and found that William and Marvin Sackett both served in the War of 1812 in the NY Militia. William filed on 30 Dec 1857 for pay and reimburment for expenses for his service in 1813. He stated that he was a resident of Alexandira, Jefferson Co. and was age 68. Marvin filed on 20 Jun 1859 for his pay and reimbursment for expenses for his service in 1812. He stated that he was a resident of Lewis Co. and was age 64. This would indicate that the family was located in Lewis Co. before the War of 1812. I trust that you don't have the same thing my wife and I had back in January ... for the whole month !!

I believe we have made the connection between my husband's Sackett/Makepeace family and the information you provided on William. It would appear that they are connected to the first Thomas Sackett in the Sackett database which I looked at this morning. > > I will try to get my information updated on the computer and send you a copy so that you can add it to what you have. It may be several days as I am now feeling under the weather (I hope it's not the flu). > > Thanks again. > Grace Keir
