Hello Sackett Searchers: I recently ran across something that caused me to think of the question of Skene D. Sackett's service in the Rev. War. Weygant says that he entered the service under the name Skene Douglas in order to avoid detection by his uncle. My question is: Would it be possible that his time of service was FOR [or in place of] someone named Skene Douglas? I read of one situation where one man served in place of another and later the one who was replaced filed for his pension and got it even though he never actually served. And the one who actually served was not eligible for a military pension. Thurmon TSFA Historian
