Hi Sackett Searchers: I've run across another possible error in Weygant. It concerns the husband of 269-Catherine Sackett, dau of 75-Richard Sackett. According to information found on John B. Wolcott's website the Thomas Wolcott that Weygant has as spouse of 269-Catherine Sackett, was actually married to Catherine Loomis. He says that the Thomas Wolcott who married a Catherine Sackett was Thomas Wolcott, Jr. In the information given below he gives his arguments for rejecting the identification of 269-Catherine Sackett as the one who married Thomas Wolcott. His belief is that the wife of Thomas Wolcott, Jr. was 722-Catherine Sackett, dau of 268-Dr. John Sackett, M.D. and Elizabeth Maston. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thurmon ---------------- Home Page: http://wolcottfamily.com/ Page with Catherine Sackett: http://wolcottfamily.com/simon.html (4) Lt. Thomas Wolcott, b. 1702 Windsor CT, d. Taghanic NY. He settled at Tolland CT about 1722, fencing and improving part of the 400 acres his father had bought in 1719; in 1729 he sold land left him by his grandfather Allyn, and in 1739 he sold his land at Tolland and moved to Dutchess Co. New York, leased land from Cadwallader Colden in "The Oblong"; in 1749 he engaged in legal dispute over ownership of this land with John Sackett ; m. (1) Catherine Loomis 1725 Tolland Twp. CT, m. (2) Susannah Porter c. 1739 CT, m. (3) Fannie Ducolon c. 1742 Taghanic NY. (5) Thomas Wolcott Jr., b. 1726 Tolland CT, d.c. 1792 Amenia NY. In 1759 and 1760, Thomas Wolcott was elected "pender" of Crum Elbow Precinct, which included Northeast and Amenia townships. In 1760 he purchased property on Wetbutuck Creek in Amenia Township, including a sawmill and dam, and privilege of a grist mill, in 1762 he was appointed Overseer of Highways at the first town meeting of Amenia; his widow and son, Luke, sold the land at Amenia with dwelling and blacksmith shop in 1774; the blacksmith shop was still standing in 1996. Thomas m. Catherine Sackett, sometimes said to be daughter of Richard Sackett. This is in error as she was b. 1702, 24 years before Thomas, and her youngest chils would have been born at age 60. Richard Sackett's will dated 1744 and proved 1746 leaves a bequest to his daughter, Catherine, "during her widowhood". In a court case regarding her father's will she is called Catherine Margeson, which was apparently her married name. Thomas' wife was probably Catherine, b. c.1720, daughter of Catherine's brother, John Sackett.
