Nancy, I think Capt Richard Sackett and Capt Joseph Sackett were on opposite sides of the East River - although I'd be grateful for some local knowledge on this. Patty has an old map showing Newtown, Long Island. >>> Patty, could you kindly help us pinpoint Newtown in relation to modern maps? This is where all the action took place in the Joseph Sackett and Daniel Bloomfield households. Looks like Joseph bought up most of Long Island! I believe Capt Richard was in Manhattan when he wasn't at Dutchess County. Weygant says he had a malthouse or brewery at Cherry Street, previously named Sackett Street. I had figured this would have been the Cherry Street which is on the Manhattan shore of East River about a block east of Manhattan Bridge & a block north of East River Piers. Seems to me a brewery would need lots of water so it would need to be near the river. Now if we could establish a link between Capt Richard & Capt Joseph, then maybe we wouldn't need to be thinking about DNA tests!! Best... Chris
