Why I now believe that Orland/Orlin Sackett's wife was Lucinda Johnson: Pam sent for George Sackett's death certificate and gave me a copy. It lists his mothers maiden name as not Johnson, not Stevens as we thought. I was looking over old List email about our family and came across this one from Thurmon; Subject: [SACKETT-L] Revisiting Sacketts of Ontario Co., NY, Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2003, From: thurmonking@netscape.net that included the following, "In 1850 Orlen Sackett is listed as being 26 years old which indicated that he was born about 1824 in NY. Two households away in the household of Sarah Johnson age 57, there is a Lotas/Lotus Sackett age 62 (b. abt 1788) listed." This got me thinking about Sarah Johnson. Then I started looking at census and cemetery records for Ontario County. The 1855 census also lists Orlin's family and Sarah Johnson on the same page. By 1860, Lucinda would have been deceased and Orlin had moved to Goodhue County, Minnesota with his younger children. Lucy, supposedly, stayed in New York with her grandparents. The 1860 census for Ontario County still lists Lucy Sackett and Sarah Johnson. They are on the same page and possibly in the same household. They are no longer listed together in 1865 because Lucy was married to Charles Briggs by then. In Fairview Cemetery, Naples, Ontario, New York, we find Lucinda Sackett and her parents, Sarah and Daniel Johnson (and, perhaps, her inlaws). JOHNSON Sarah, wife of Daniel; died Nov 7 1865; ae 73 yrs; Jeremiah W.; died Dec 30 1852; ae 27-6-8 Daniel; died Apr 27 1841; in his 51st year; SACKETT Sabrina, wife of Zelotus; died Feb 15 1843; ae 48 yrs; Lucinda, wife of Orlin; died Oct 23 1856; ae 29-10-6; Zelotus; War of 1812 Lucy Sackett Briggs was buried in Roseridge Cemetery, Naples, Ontario, New York. Last Name First Maiden b-yr d-yr notes Briggs Carrie 1867 dau of Chas T. & Lucy Briggs Sarah 1857 1948 2d wife of Charles T. Briggs Lucy Sackett 1846 1885 Wfe of Charles T. Briggs N. Eugene 1872 son of Chas T. & Lucy Briggs Charles T. 1840 1912 Well, that's my case. I would love to be able to confirm it, but it looks reasonable. ---Karen __________________________________________________________________ McAfee VirusScan Online from the Netscape Network.
