Hi Sackett Searchers: Yesterday I received a CD compiled by John Sackett, a descendant of Harvey Chafy Sackett. In the 548mb of material he has on the CD there is what amounts to an index of all the SACKETT Civil War pension files; [not the pension files but images of the page with the name, unit, pension file number and the name of the one filing the pension application]. As I was scrolling down through the image files I noticed that there were two for ROCKAMBEAU SACKETT. Out of curiosity that there would be two Sacketts with such an unusual name I opened one and found that it said: "Bows, Patrick (alias) Sackett, Rochambeau" 78 Reg, 102 NY Inf Application #293436 Certificate #367166 The second file has: "Sackett, Rochambeau Bows, Patrick (alias)" with the rest of the information the same as above. I can only imagine what kind of information THAT pension file might contain. Thurmon
Well Thrumon if I don't have it yet (and I am sure I would remember that name) I will soon. My next trip to the Archives is scheduled for Sept before the trip to SLC. My goal is to eventually get all of the Sackett war records. I will be working on the web site which I know is still giving me trouble this afternoon while I am in the car for 8 hours.
