Hello Sackett Researchers; Ted Mudge asked me why there were no "Spouses Notes" included in the material on the website. I had not noticed that the notes were absent. So I thank Ted for bringing this to my attention. I had failed to check the "General Notes" box under the "Spouses Notes" check box. I recreated and uploaded files which now have the spouses notes for the descendants of Orlin Sackett, Thomas Sackett, and John Sackett. In the process there were several individuals added who descended from my mother's Uncle Charles "Charley" Samuel Sackett. This information was added as the result of a contact with Merle Duncan, one of his descendants. ----- Uncle Charley (1886-1968)----- Researching Uncle Charley proves to be an "interesting" task. He was married three times and, according to different family sources, abandoned his first two wives while they were still in bed following child birth. His first wife, Alice Hancock, had three sons by Charley and after he left her she divorced him and used her maiden name, HANCOCK, for her sons. Merle (Hancock) Duncan descends from this marriage. His second marriage was to Mrs. Mary (Mullins) King who had previously been twice married and twice widowed. Mary's first two husbands were also her cousins. She had one child, a daughter Leo King, (b. 1908) by her first husband, Levi King. Levi died around the time Leo was born and Mary married Levi's brother, George Washington King, who died in 1912. Mary then married Charley Sackett in 1913. [NOTE: The picture on Ted Smith's Sackett Family Album website of Samuel and Jemima Beeman Sackett, Mary and Leo King and Charles Sackett with Matt Ward and Grace King standing in the back; was taken at a double wedding. Charles and Mary; and Mat and Grace. Grace King was a sister-in-law of Mary. Matt Ward had been married to Ellen Rosilla Sackett, a daughter of Samuel and Jemima.] Following the birth of Mary's son, Eddie Lee Sackett, Charley left her. He remarried in 1915 to Kate Armstreet and appears to have remained with her until his death. Charley had four children by Kate. Mary Mullins King Sackett married for a fourth time. Her fourth marriage was to James Autrey. [James Autrey was related to Hiram Autrey who was a brother-in-law to my father, James D. King.] So then, my mother's Uncle Charley had 8 children by three different wives. One story told by the family is that Charley's son Eddie Lee was dancing with a girl and in their conversation he discovered that he was dancing with his half sister. Another interesting story comes from a daughter of Leo King. Charles was in the hospital when a nurse asked him if he knew a girl named Leo King to which he responded that he certainly did. Leo was the nurse and they had quite a time gettng reacquainted. Now ... Who said that researching family history is boring ?? Thurmon King TSFA Historian
