Dear All, After posting the 1694/95 Indenture recording the sale of land by Daniel Bloomfield to Joseph Sackett, I find that there was a further sale in 1698/99. In this Indenture, Joseph Sackett is referred to as Joseph Sackett Senior, his son Joseph (later to become Judge Joseph Sackett) being 18 years of age by this date.
