Earlier we had a discussion concerning the life and family of Norman Sackett. Weygant, page 251 has a very brief account: 516. Norman Sacket, 18--?-1834, son of (656) Salmon Sacket and Matilda Curtis; married his third wife, Mary Goudy. We have record of but one Child: 3852a Edward C. Sackett, b. July 6, 1831, m. Mary Morgan -------- During our discussion Donn Cutler mentioned that Maxine Chapin's book "The Ancestors and Descendants of William and Hettie Richardson" presented a much larger family and that much of her information was credited to the 10 volume History of Tallmadge, Ohio; by Charles C. Bronson. Maxine has sent me photo copies of the 27 handwritten pages which relate to the family of 656-Deacon Salmon Sackett who migrated from Warren, CT to Tallmadge, OH in 1811. The following is from my transcription of the portion relating to 1516-Norman Sackett and his family: "Norman Sackett was by trade a shoe maker. When his father moved to Ohio he was 22 the March previous. He married Miss Sally Northrup, of Brookfield, Fairfield County, Conn. They had a large family.

He and his brother Elezer, had a section of the Pennsylvania Canal to build in the vicinity of Pittsburg, Pa. Here he became acquainted with Miss Mary Ann Goudy, and they were married ____ 1829.

He attended a meeting of the church in Tallmadge, after his return from the Ill. He related to his friends some incidents of his journey across the country; the extent of the prairies, the scattered settlers, the amount of sickness, that prevailed from malarial disease, all through the country. And then remarked, that he had all the symptoms of the malarial disease; and that he must take the prescribed medicines to cleanse his system.

He was fond of reading, had a retentive memory, a cultivated mind well stored with useful information. All this made him a very agreeable companion in the social circle. He was a man of ardent feelings, and when a subject was brought forward, that enlisted his sympathies, he was not the man to stand back. ... He was also one of a rifle company, that was commanded by Capt. Rial Mc Arthur, in 1812 and 1813, and in the U. S. service.

Hi Thurmon, Near the end of your information you mention Edward Curtis Sackett b.10 Jul 1831 residing in Berdan, Green Co. IL. A couple of days ago I happened to visit the Carrollton (about 3 miles south of Bardan) Cemetery and ran across these grave stones. This is not my Sackett line but hopefully will be of use to someone: 1. Large stone with SACKETT acorss the top and below a star with GAR in the center then: Edward C. Sackett 1831 - 1917 Mary E. Bradley, his wife 1843 - 1916 Also beside the large stone a small military stone inscribed: Lieut. Edwd C. Sackett C.O. P 41 ILL. INF. 2. Large headstone with SACKETT with two smaller stones marking the graves: William M., APR 21, 1869 - July 25, 1919 Julia, His Wife, June 7, 1868 - Oct. 16, 1945 3. Smaller stone with Sackett across the top and below: James C. 1879 - 1942 Ora B. 1883 - 1930 4. Small stone: DAU. Ch., James & Ora Sackett, 1904 - 1905 This is not my line and therefore have no additional information about these families. Regards, Howard Thurmon E.
