Thurmon, Thanks for the interesting information on the Little Nine Partners. I have the book, "History of Little Nine Partners", by Isaac Huntting, 1897, but I have never been able to understand all the transactions that went on. From this book, the last mention of Margery Sackett, Richard's wife and John's mother, is when she and John sold 400 acres on Lot #14 to Hendrick Nase of Crom (Crum) Elbow for 140 pounds. The deed to this property, during Hendrick's lifetime, was "burglariously taken from his dwelling". Margery was deceased; Hendrick had died, but John Sackett, on 3 April 1760, gave another deed to Hendrick's son, Philip, for this same property. It cost Philip 40 shillings. I have just a portion of an article taken from, "Old Dutchess Forever!", by Henry Noble MacCracken. The mention of John Sackett and Thomas Wolcott goes like this, "When Thomas Woolcot became Colden's tenant in the Oblong, Dr. Sackett broke in upon his field, trod out his corn and injured his house. Colden threatened him, but he persisted and got Woolcot lodged in jail for trespass. The net result seems to have been that Woolcot married his sister Margaret, while John sold 3,497 acres to Moses Harris and moved on. Dr. John, one of our earliest physicians, died in Stephentown, but Ezekial, one of his ten children, served in a Dutchess company in the Revolution". Weygant has Thomas Walcot marrying #269 Catherine Sackett, daughter of Richard Sackett. From the book, "The History of Ancient Windsor, CT.", Vol. II by Henry Stiles, he has that Thomas Wolcott, b. 1 Sep. 1726, married Catherine Sackett of Dover, N.Y. and had family. John Sackett did not have a sister, Margaret, as far as I know. To add to all this fun, there was an entry on Ancestry that gave the spouse of Catherine Sackett, born 1742, died 1826, as Andreas Theodor Larsdatter. Her parents were given as Richard Sackett and Margery Sleade. I'm going to try to chase that one down. I'm jumping around here, but #267, Richard Sackett, Jr.'s wife, is recorded in Dutch records as Maria Breedeth or Mary Brodeth. His daughter, #710, according to a website I found, was named Mary Margarete Sackett, and was b. 5 Oct.1742. She married Israel Canfield (Weygant has Camfield) on 6 Apr.1758 in New Milford, Ct. Mary died in Arlington, Bennington, Vt. on 18 June 1817. They had more children than what is recorded in Weygant's book according to this site. To Tom: Sorry I set you back. Hope you had some success when you went back. Enough for now, Blanche McKay
