Thurmon, You have certainly presented us with a dilemma on Jonathan and Richard Sackett. I have looked over what I have but none of it answers your question. I guess we have taken Weygant's book too much for granted. But, he had to have had the information from somewhere about a Jonathan being the father of Richard. The only theory I have is that a generation was skipped in the New Haven records. It is not uncommon for a 62 year old man (Jonathan) to marry a 29 year old woman (Ruth), but it does make me wonder, as you wrote, if he was married before to a Hannah and had the first children or his son, Jonathan, married Ruth. As far as I know, there is no record of a marriage to Hannah or a record of their children's births. I did find on the Internet the marriage of a Sarah Sackett to Elisha Booth, but there was no date or other info given. On another website, I found the marriage of Ruth Sackett to Matthew Gilbert on 27 Apr.1738 in New Haven, CT. These are the two you listed as daughters of Jonathan Sackett and Ruth Hotchkiss. There are no children listed for Ruth and Matthew. We'll just have to keep searching and hope we can come up with some valid answers. Blanche McKay

Thurman, Blanche and others, I can't tell you where I found the information but here is what I have. William Sackett m. Hannah Graves November 27, 1689. Their son Jonathan Sackett born March 20, 1695/96 married Ann Filer January 23,1724/25. Their son Jonathan Sackett born December 26, 1727 married Hannah Phelps November 10, 1748 At Hebron, Tolland, CT. Children of Jonathan Sackett and Hannah Phelps, Hannah 9-22-1749 Anna 10-02-1751 William A. 11-16-1753 Hulda 1755 Aaron 1758 Rebecca 11-18-1760 Chloe 3-15-1762 Irene 1764 Phene 1764 Filer 4-10-1766 Jesse 1769 Almeron no date. This will probably just confuse the problem even more since I can not tell you where I found the information.
