    2. Thurmon E King
    3. Chris and All: In my searches in the "Genealogies of Connecticut Families" I have found more conflicts between the information presented there and the information in Weygant's book. Weygant, page 110: 254. Samuel Sackett, 1741-1826, of North Haven, Conn., son of (73) Capt. Samuel Sackett , was married Dec. 24, 1767, to Abigail Blakeley [Blakeslee]. Children. 694. Samuel Sackett, b. Mar. 2, 1771, d. Aug. 27, 1851; m. Sally Donelson [Denison]. 695. Elisabeth Sackett. 696. Eli Sackett. 697. Solomon Sackett, m. Sept. 1, 1790, Ruth Turner. 698. Amelia Sackett, m. Feb. 9, 1790, Joel Turner. 699. Joel Sackett, m. Dec. 1789, Lydia Todd. Page 111 256. Solomon Sackett, 1748-1828, of New Haven and Norfolk, Conn., son of (73) Capt. Samuel Sackett, was twice married. He and both of his wives are buried in the "North End Cemetery," at Norfolk. Several of their descendants resided in 1904, in the adjoining town of Colebrook. Children. 700. Solomon Sackett, b. in year 1785, d. in year 1855; m. Hulda Webster. 701. Thomas Sackett, m. Lucy ________. 702. Sylvia Sackett, b. in year 1805, d. May 4. 1833. ------ Families of Ancient New Haven, Vol. VII, Page 1586: [son of W#73-Samuel Sackett and his 2nd wife [name not known to Weygant] Lydia Heaton (W#256) 6. Solomon, b 28 Apr 1748 NHV, d 8 Aug 1823 Norfolk C; Census (NoH) 1-2-1, m. (1) Mary ______, b c. 1848, d 24 Dec 1784 ae. 37 NoHT1; m (2) 12 Feb 1787 NoHV -- Ruth da. Benjamin & Amy (Hill) Hull, b 27 Nov 1763 NHV, d 13 June 1789 ae. 27 NoHC, NoHT1; m (3) _ Sep 1790 NoHC -- Ruth Turner, b c. 1755, d 27 Mar 1796 ae. 41 NoHT1, 20 Mar NoHC; m (4) 10 Sep 1797 NoHV -- Miriam Davis. -------------- The problems are: 1.Two different Solomon Sacketts are said to have married Ruth Turner on 1 Sep 1790. 2. Weygant says that #256-Solomon moved to Norfolk, CT and that he "...was twice married. He and both of his wives are buried in the 'North End Cemetery,' at Norfolk." But FANH, Vol. VII, p. 1586 says that this individual lived in and died at North Haven, CT. Questions: 1. Which Solomon Sackett moved to Norfolk, Litchfield Co., CT? 2. What were the names of the wives who are buried in the "North End Cemetery"? 3. Which Solomon Sackett was married to the four wives at North Haven? Or, 4. Were there two Solomon Sacketts involved in the four marriages? Regards, Thurmon King TSFA Hisorian
