Elihu could be a decendent of Orlin Sackett. According to family stories Orlin, Edward, and Elton moved from Goodhue to Martin County. Martin, Blue Earth, and Faribault counties touch each other. I know I have seen the Alton spelling for Elton somewhere, but can't find it now. Also, I have a picture of the Elton Sackett family taken in Faribault county. I also have a later picture of his family that is him, his wife, and four sons. So it all seems to fit. ---Karen "louella@endor.com" <louellas@endor.com> wrote: >Do you have census information?
