Hello Sackett Searchers: There is a recent query posted on the Sackett Family Forum at genforum.com concerning Watson Sackett. Doing a search on Google I found that the SACKETT-L had Barbara Byrd subscribed for a while in 2001 who was looking for information relating to Watson Sackett. Kari Roehl and I have been working the past week or so on this family. And, although we have not come up with a connection for him to any known Sacketts in my database; we have developed quite a bit of information for his family. If anyone can come up with any additional information it will be appreciated. Especially if you can find where Watson was born in the state of NY.
