After I sent the message off yesterday, I realized that I did have some land records of Richard Sackett going back to 1716. Of interest is that he is called a Husbandman, a Gent. and Capt. In Oct. 1741, there are two Indentures made between Capt. Richard Sackett and his two sons, Richard Sackett, Jr. and John Sackett when they sold some property to a Johann Tise Smith. All three signed the document. On 3 Mar. 1744, Richard Sackett sold some land to his son, John Sackett. Witnesses were Josias Crego and Richard Sackett, Jr. The most interesting is a transaction on 17 Oct.1749 when John Sackett sold some property to a Moses Harris (part of the Lower Nine Partners tract). This states that John Sackett, Gent., youngest son and sole Executor of the Last Will and Testament of Capt. Richard Sackett late of Dover, deceased. This certainly raises some questions about Josiah Crego Sackett since this has that John was the youngest son. I found no reference to Josiah Crego Sackett in any of the copies of documents I have. Granted, he could have left for Connecticut at an early age and lived there until death. There are records of Josias Crego in Dutchess County, N.Y. which prove he lived there. It all raises more question which is what genealogy is all about. Blanche McKay
