Chris and all: I found another bit of information I downloaded some time ago from GenForum for Nelly Sackett, dau of Josiah Crego Sackett: Re: Searching for Sackett-Frisbie Connection Posted by: Cynthia Simmons (ID *****2401) Date: January 18, 2003 at 09:10:29 In Reply to: Searching for Sackett-Frisbie Connection by R.J. Message: 549 of 549 I have just found (thanks to the Dutchess County Historical Society) that Nelly Sackett (b. 1832) is most likely the Eleanor Kelsey, wife of Simeon Kelsey (b.1830). In the Spencer's Corners burial grounds, there is a Mrs. Eleanor, wife of Mr. Simeon 'Kellsy'(Kelsey); died 1793, age 61. Simeon Kelsey (d. 25 Nov 1811) is also buried there, as is his second wife (called 'consort'), Rhumah (?)Kelsey. Any thoughts that is Eleanor is Nelly? ====== end ====== This gives the death date and age at death for Nelly (Sackett) Kelsey. Using this and the marriage date would seem to establish that this is the same individual. ----- Of Dover, Dutchess Co., NY: Kent CT Marriages as found in Early Connecticut Marriages by Frederick Bailey 1741 to 1757 Simeon Kelsey & Nelly Sackett of Dover, N. Y., Aug. 22, 1754 ----- Observations: 1. The marriage record seems to say that Simeon and Nelly were both from Dover, NY in 1754. Would this indicate that Josiah Crego Sackett was still a resident of Dover at that time? 2. Nelly Sackett seems to have lived all her life in Dutchess Co., NY Now, if we assume that Josiah Crego Sackett was married twice and that possibly 714-Aaron Sackett (m. 1786) and Skene Douglas Sackett (b. 1765) were children of the 2nd marriage [and considering the claim that Skene Douglas Sackett was born 1765 in New Milford, Litchfield Co., CT (or Milford, New Haven Co., CT)] could we assume that Josiah moved to CT followiing the death of his first wife?
