I don't know how much of the following has already been hashed over -- my apologies if the info has previously been published. The Sackett Web page that Thurmon maintains discusses a Levi Dewey Sackett, of Meadville, PA, born 3 Dec. 1828, with wives Sarah (died after 30 Jul 1871) and Harriet (died 3 Dec. 1871). Children included Schuyler & Herman. Another contributor indicates that the first wife, Sarah, died "circa 1865", and that the name of the second wife was Ariet Marie. I have recently been reviewing LDS Film 1026038, Interments, 1865-1921; index of interments, 1875-1978, Greendale Cemetery (Crawford Co., Pa.). I find an L.D. Sackett buried on 12 September 1898, age 70. This fits with the Levi Dewey Sackett who was born 3 Dec. 1928. I find a Sarah Sackett buried 28 October 1864, age 34 years, 8 months, 10 days (first wife?). A.M. Sackett was buried 7 December 1871, age 40 years, 2 months, 20 days. These dates fit for the second wife, Harriet/Ariet Marie. Also listed is Schuyler Sackett, buried 22 May 1937, age 69 years, 1 month, 11 days, and Herman Sackett, buried 10 August 1960, age 90 years, 9 months, 27 days. All of these persons are buried within the same Lot and Section of Greendale Cemetery (Lot 42, Section 4). This same Lot and Section also contains the remains of Levi's parents, Jabez & Ann/Anna Sackett, as well as siblings and other children of Jabez, as well as (we think) Jabez' parents, Zavan & Abigail (Bills) Sackett. Conjecture - If it is true that first wife, Sarah, died in 1864, as seems apparent, then it's likely that she was the mother of the first three children, Mary, Willis and Howard, and the second wife, Ariet Marie, was the mother of Schuyler, Herman & Grace.

Ted: Thank you for the information. I had raised the question of Levi Dewey Sackett and the probable duplication by Weygant but we didn't do much "hashing out" of the problem. Your post caused me to go back and review my notes and I find that I have some information that should have caused me to question even more the information in Weygant and the Dewey Genealogy. The 1860 census shows Dewey Sackett and his wife Sarah in the household of Jabez B. Sacket 1860, Mead Twp., Crawford Co., PA.; Page 2649/2532 Sacket, Jabes B. 71 m MA [Sacket] Emily 63 f CT Sacket, Dewey 31 m PA Sacket, Sarah 30 f NY Sacket, Royal 64 m MA Sacket, Mary 1/12 f PA Then the 1870 Census shows Levi D. Sacket's household as: 1870; Mead Twp., Crawford Co., PA; 59/56 Sacket], Levi D. 42 m farmer PA [Sacket], Ariet M. 38 f NY Sacket, Mary E. 10 f PA Sacket, Howard 6 m PA Sacket, Schuyler 2 m PA Sacket, Heman P. 8/12 m PA Palmer, Clarina A. 28 f teacher NY This makes it obvious that Levi Dewey Sacket and Ariet/Harriet Palmer were married before the 21 Feb 1873 date given by Weygant and the Dewey Genealogy. I will remove the Sarah _____ from being the wife of Weygant's 1307-L. Dewey Sacket and include a modified note which reads: "Weygant, p. 152; '1307. L. Dewey Sacket, m. Sarah ______'. This individual appears to be a duplicate of 1304-Dewey Sacket and, therefore, an error on the part of Weygant."

Ted's post concerning the family of Levi Dewey Sackett and his family raises a question concerning his wives. According to Weygant, p. 234 Dewey Sacket married (1) Sarah E. Palmer on 13 Apr 1859; (2) Harriet Palmer on 21 Feb 1873. As stated in my previous post; Dewey Sacket is listed in the 1860 census with his wife Sarah and in the 1870 census he is listed with Ariet M. as his wife. According to the cemetery listing posted by Ted; Ariet M. died in 1871. Doing a search of the 1880 census I find: Census Place Mead, Crawford, Pennsylvania Family History Library Film 1255119 NA Film Number T9-1119 Page Number 235A Dewey SACKETT Self M Male W 52 MA Farmer MA MA Mary SACKETT Wife M Female W 51 PA Housekeeper PA PA Mary SACKETT Dau S Female W 20 PA School Teacher MA PA Howard SACKETT Son S Male W 16 PA MA PA Schuyler SACKETT Son S Male W 12 PA MA PA Herman SACKETT Son S Male W 10 PA MA PA Grace SACKETT Dau S Female W 8 PA MA PA Emely SACKETT Mother W Female W 83 CT CT CT Said HUNTER Dau S Female W 21 PA School Teacher PA PA This census information raises two questions: 1) Was Mary a 3rd wife for Dewey whom he married on 21 Feb 1873? 2) Based upon information previously posted to the SACKETT-L: Crawford County Genealogy journal published the Craighead Funeral Register for funerals in the period 1849 - 1852. "Mrs. Emily Sacket"; I had shown that Mrs. Emily Sacket had died in 1852. But here in 1880, she is listed in Dewey's household as his mother age 83. Does anyone have information to clear this up?

Regarding Emily E., 2nd wife of Jabez Sackett: I think Weygant has her death date as May 15, 1852 (I remain confused as to which Web page contains Weygant’s original work). But Thurmon finds her listed as alive in the 1860 Census (as wife of Jabez), age 63, and in the1880 Census (as mother of Levi Dewy Sackett), age 83. She was also listed in the 1870 Census, as Jabez’ wife, age 73, on the same page as sons Edward B.R. Sackett and Levi D. Sackett & daughter Flavia Wright. I have recently been reviewing LDS Film 1026038, Interments, 1865-1921; index of interments, 1875-1978, Greendale Cemetery (Crawford Co., Pa.), which lists an Emilie E. Sackett, buried December 1885, age 89 years 1 day. This age is consistent with the ages found in the Census’, placing her birth circa December 1796, eight years younger than Jabez. I believe that this person is likely Jabez Sackett’s 2nd wife. (Jabez is buried between his two wives; Anna on one side & Emily of the other.) So what about the Emily who died May 15, 1852?? Also buried in the same Lot & Section of Greendale Cemetery are Jabez Sackett’s brother, Zavan, who died December 6 1857. Next to this Zavan is buried an Emily. Weygant (I think) lists this Zavan as having a wife, Emily. I believe that the Emily who died May 15, 1852 was the wife of this Zavan. A word about Greendale burials -- The cemetery includes many people who were originally buried at some other location & were later re-interred in Greendale, including several Sacketts. Other than a basic plat map or chart in the cemetery’s office, which shows just the names & burial locations, there doesn’t seem to be any records presently available that provide information on these early re-interments.
