Robin: Thank you for sending the information you have. The more information we get, the easier it is for us to help others make their connections. I've run across a problem with what you have for the children of Dwight Augustus Sackett and Almeda Jane Holton. You have the first son as Otis Eugene SACKETT was born 28 Oct 1868 in Assyria, MI In the 1870 census the son Eugene is less than 1 year old which would mean that he would not have been born in 1868. The second problem concerns the age of Otis in the 1880 census where he is listed as being 9 years old. That makes quite an age difference. I had assumed that Eugene and Otis were two different individuals and that Eugene had died before 1880. ---- 1870 Census; Assyria, Barry Co., MI Roll: 661; Page 34 96/99 Sackett, Eugene [son] 8/12 m b.
