Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I am only too happy to share what little I know. I find this all quite amazing considering that two weeks ago I didn't even know the name of my grandfather and now I have this tremendous family tree. It is very exciting. In any case, I am very new to the study of genealogy so please bear with me . . . Much of this information was obtained on Ancestry.com. I have verified some but not all of it using census data and death records. I have also posted my family tree on this site. It is listed under RSS with my name and email as a contact. What I know so far is as follows: 1. Dwight Sackett born 2 October 1823 in MA. Married Caroline Bolton (b. 3 Aug 1823) on 1 Mar 1845.
