To add to Leander's info, my cousin Betty Lou Knowles Ott sent me the following info that she had read in "A Brief History or Monroe [Michigan]" "The Erie Canal opened in 1825, LaPlaisance Bay was the first and best stop place for the people of the East to stop at. There was a hotel ran by Leander Sackett, a 2 story frame building with the lower level, a general store occupied by Dan B. Miller." Leander also donated some of his land as a cemetery. It is located on M-50 just west of Monroe. In a book at the Monroe Library with the stone transcriptions for the Sackett or King Cemetery on S. Custer Rd., Raisinville Twp., its says that the land was given by an early pioneer, Leonard (Leander?) Sackett about 1840. This is where Leander, his wife, Eliza and his sister, Miranda are buried.
