Dear All, One of the 'finds' during researches at SLC was the will of Simon Sackett's wife Isabel. I have a note that the last 'sighting' of Isabel was in 1663 (although the note does not say what the sighting was!). The will now changes that to 1682, meaning she lived at least into her late seventies and that she survived Simon by 47 years. The full source for the will is: Town Minutes of Newtown [Long Island] 1653-1734: Transcriptions of Early Town Records of New York. Historical Records Survey, NY 1941. Vol 2, pt 1, p260. Repository: Family History Library, Salt Lake City.
