    3. I've come up with a source for Richard Sackett's marriage to Margery Sleade: From The New York Historical Society Collections, this 1892 volume features abstracts of wills on file in the Surrogates Office, City of New York, from 1665 to 1707. Bibliographic Information: Abstracts of Wills Vol I 1665-1707, The New York Historical Society, 1892. Page 294.--Marriage license granted to RICHARD SACKETT and MARGERY SLEADE, May 11, 1699. [NOTE.--Richard Sackett owned a tract of land on the north side of Cherry street, east of Pearl street, and from him the street derived its original name of "Sackett's street."--W. S. P.] -------------- I also found something for Stephen Crego, ships master: From The New York Historical Society Collections, this 1892 volume features abstracts of wills on file in the Surrogates Office, City of New York, from 1665 to 1707. Bibliographic Information: Abstracts of Wills Vol I 1665-1707, The New York Historical Society, 1892. Page 317.-- Court of Admiralty held on Thursday, October 11, 1683, to determine the case between Jacob and Isaac Melyn and Stephen Crego. The complaint is for 22 pounds, 5 ounces of plate, their share on board the sloop Pemaquid, of which said Crego was master, in a late voyage to the Spannish wreck lying near the Bahama Islands. The answer is that they came on board for a passage to New York and never were a part of his company, and denies that he is the detainer of the said plate. Judgment of this Court, is that the defendant pay to the plaintiffs four pounds of plate, and costs of Court. ----------- Keep digging, Thurmon
