Robin: Louella sent me some census info she found which, I believe, gives us the name of Dwight's mother. 1860 census; 7th ward Worchester, Worchester, Mass, page 181 Wheaton, Elijah, age 40, born Massachusetts, Mason Wheaton, Jane E., age 38, born Massachusetts Wheaton, Frank L., age 14, born Massachusetts Wheaton, Herbert O., age 5, born Massachusetts Sackett, Nancy, age 64, born Massachusetts Weygant shows Asher Sackett, jr as having a daughter, #1323-Jane Sackett, who married Elijah Wheadon. The census above appears to be Asher's daughter. The Nancy Sackett, age 64 (b. abt 1796) would be Jane's mother. Another clue provided by this census info that Dwight's sister and mother were in Worcester Co. could indicate that the LDS IGI: (2). DWIGHT SACKETT; Male Spouse: CHARLOTTE E. WILSON Marriage: 15 MAR 1844 Leominster, Worcester, Massachusetts could be close to being right. At least one might find the record in Worcester County. Those more familiar with the LDS FHL might be able to tell us whether or not they have films of the records in that county. Best wishes, Thurmon

Thurmon, Thanks again! Tomorrow, when I have sufficiently recovered from spending the afternoon with 16 three year olds I'll have a closer look.
